Is your most frequently worn an indication of favoritism or just utility? I was looking at a case in my living room today and was struck by the way I had unconsciously arranged a couple of pair in my case. I recently did paint, tile, and carpet throughout the house so we are still putting things back together. When I Put the case together I put my favorite, Zero 0.4, on a double stand above my most frequently worn, M Frame Ice Heater. In the quiet of this morning, while looking at the case, I thought about the placement. I look at my M Frame as my "old faithful." I've had a dozen M Frames with Ice Heater over the years. When I pick up my range bag to go shoot, it's automatic, M Frame. While I've worn those infinitely more often than my Zero's, the Zero holds a special place in my life. They were a special purchase at a special time in my life.

I guess there are multiple levels of favoritism!

I think it's a little of both for me. I have a Carbon/Black Iridium Juliet that has become my "default" pair. Juliet is a classic and just an awesome frame. For most occasions it'll do the trick and the black color-way is classic as well. So it basically covers all bases for general wear.

My favorite will always be my Romeo and my other X Metals, but fashion wise, they just don't cut it. Not even close in fact. That and most of X Metals have colored Iridium lenses, which have become a thing of the past for me. I don't like to stray too far from Black Iridium, Titanium Iridium, VR28 Black & Grey. My current choices for most frequently worn have been a Polished Black/Grey Eye Patch and my Chrome/VR28 Black Crosshair. The Crosshair has quickly become my go to pair, usually without any second thought as to what to wear. In the past where I'd have to bring maybe 5 or 6 pairs on a trip, now I bring one. I love em.

My Rootbeer colored Pit Boss has gradually emerged as my most worn pair. Second would be my Ti/Black Pit Boss. Both subtle enough in terms of colorway, not too flashy, easy to match clothing. Third would be my polished clear Frogskins w/Violet Ir lenses, again relatively subtle. Or maybe my Grenade olive green Frogskins w/gold ir lenses. On days when I decide to be flashy, my polished white Radar w/+red polarized.

I wear a lot of differant pairs regularly however I wear my polished/chrome juliets more than anything. They are loud and shiny and just look cool! I wear split jackets a lot too.

I actually work pretty hard each morning to pick a different pair. I recognize that I am relatively unsuccessful in rotating through all pairs, as I generally gravitate a lot towards some styles more than others. Usually that tends to be split jackets, eyepatch/2, hijynx, antix, and newer stuff like pitbull and ten. I can't say I allow myself to really have a favorite or frequently worn ... but I definitely have set up my towers to the point that there are a few that are my go-to, a couple that I remind myself to pick something from, then one or two that hold older pairs that I don't really use much anymore.

If I'm not wearing my black Hijinx, I am wearing my X-Metal/Ruby XS. I might be stuck in a bit of a rut.

My daily wear when I'm working is Radars with either a Black Iridium Polarized lens if I can get away with it or a Photochromic Path is safety is being a pain.

When I'm home I alternate between BIP Romeo 2s or Titanium Iridium Romeo 2s depending on the weather.

The comfort of the Half X means that if I'm not wearing the polished / VR28, I'll be wearing the black / black iridium. I've just bought myself another couple of frames and now need to get round to buying some replacement lenses. Sadly there are no low light lenses for the Half X!

Though I don't wear much Oakley eyewear nowadays, my most frequently worn tend to be favourites rather than for utility. The Jackknife is always in the Rx rotation while the I'll pick up pairs like the Inmates and every so often.

The most worn since purchase two years ago have been Inmate polarized blk iridium, the Book of Eli shades. But previous most worn for many years, and still my all-time favorite, are titanium/gold Juliets. I consider the Juliet my "Crosing the Rubicon" moment into Oakley nut-dom.

My most worn of recent have been my 1st Gen Frogskins(Crystal/Orange Iridium). The lenses are seriously beat up but still provide excellent protection at work. For some reason, even though they're heavily scratched, they don't appear to be so from a small distance away. Old Skool Iridium rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
