Sunglasses serve a range of purposes: To block out the sun or very bright lights from one's vision. (This is one of the reasons why Blind People Wear Sunglasses in Real Life; in many cases their eyes are still sensitive to light and feel pain from it.) To cover up disturbing, blacked and/or missing eyes. (Another reason why blind people wear sunglasses in Real Life.) Alternatively, to cover up eyes that are outright inhuman. To look totally cool. To hide where the gaze wanders when passing by. (Actually often combined with the #3 purpose. And most of them usually play poker.) To keep track of visions in one's eyes. To serve as a part of disguise (or even the whole of it). To ease the pain of a hangover or hide eyes bloodshot from illegal drug use. Then there are times where a character wears glasses most of the time, if not all the time, even if it's impractical to do so. Sunglasses At Night is a trope where the glasses wearer is known for wearing their shades on even when it's nighttime, when they are fighting and in some occasions, when they are asleep. Most of these characters do it because of reason #2, but for others it is #3, or the whole thing is Hand Waved. Sometimes justified because the shades do something unusual. Other characters have enhanced senses, so they follow the first reason even at night. Many of the characters wouldn't be as recognizable without them. A subtrope of Cool Shades and Useless Accessory. Compare to Sinister Shades. Named for, but mostly unrelated to, a song by Corey Hart. |

The Terminator, in all of his incarnations. The first one uses sunglasses to hide his damaged eye (he only wears sunglasses after it's damaged). The second one is entirely Rule of Cool. The third film plays it for laughs by having the Terminator reach into the jacket pocket of the leathers that he's procured from a male stripper only to put on a pair of ridiculous star-shaped shades. Being a Cyborg definitely helps with the vision problems normally associated with this trope. The T-1000 in T2 also wears sunglasses in its motorcycle cop outfit, including scenes at night. |

Pokémon Detective Pikachu: Roger Clifford, Ms. Norman, and Lucy Stevens all wear sunglasses at night and other dark environments. The last of these is lampshaded by Tim Goodman, who points out its not even that great a disguise as it draws attention at night. However, it's justified with the first two; they are Howard Clifford's ditto, who can copy other's appearances except for its Black Bead Eyes. It has to wear the sunglasses to hide this. | |

Quattro Bajeena (Char Aznable) from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam wears his shades, even in space. In Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, Char/Casval always wore sunglasses because he stole his identity from the original Char Aznable, an otherwise Identical Stranger with a different eye color. He pretends exposure to cosmic rays had damaged his eyes and left his sensitive to UV rays. | |

Mega Man (Classic): Proto Man has never removed his sunglasses/visor, in-game or out. The same applies to his Ruby-Spears and .EXE counterparts. (If one piece of art from 8 is to be believed, he even wears shades under his helmet's visor.) Which is lampshaded by various webcomics like Bob and George all the time. |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Kamina wore his famous orange sunglasses all the time even though he spent most of his life underground with no knowledge of the sun's existence. However, an orange-shaded visor can make it easier to see in the dark by increasing contrast, which actually makes them appropriate for wearing underground. Simon sports an epic, red pair later on even though he's in outer space, in the core of a moon-sized mecha and not near any apparent natural light source. Boota wears sunglasses, and he's a pig. |

Shino Aburame of Naruto has never been without his sunglasses, nor has any other member of his clan. This has lead to a popular fan theory that the bugs in his body have eaten out his eyes, serve as his eyes, or have augmented them in some way. Killer Bee is also always wearing sunglasses, even in his first appearance where he's coming out of a dark cave. In his earlier appearances this even led some fans to theorize that he was blind, though this was Jossed pretty quickly. |

Doonesbury: Uncle Duke wears his all the time. His eyes would be pretty messed up if you saw them, for obvious reasons. This is confirmed in Duke's first appearance, where he's lying catatonic and shadesless in the guest bedroom of Zonker's parents. His eyes look pretty freaked. Duke's relatively sane son Earl also wears sunglasses all the time. |

Deconstructed in Geronimo Stilton and the Great Statue Caper. It starts off with Geronimo wearing sunglasses all the time to cover an embarrassing eye injury, but it catches on with his coworkers and starts a fashion trend. Of course, since sunglasses make things look dark, this leads to higher electricity consumption to power lights, which leads to higher electricity bills and eventually kicks off the plot. | |

In A Test Of Fayth, the non-binary character Crimson wears sunglasses when they enter the bar at night. Not only do they wear them at night, they also wear them indoors! This actually makes a lot more sense once you learn that they're missing an eye from an accident years ago, and think that eyepatches don't suit them, so decide to wear sunglasses to cover it up instead. | |

Rude from Final Fantasy VII. In The Movie sequel, when his glasses are knocked off and cracked, he simply reaches into his jacket and pulls out another pair. In the Remake in addition to Rude retaining this feature Barret is now shown to wear a pair of sunglasses in battle and the majority of situations which is a new addition he did not have the original game. This seems to be partially to give himself a "tougher" looking appearance as Barret is shown to have surprisingly kind and friendly looking eyes underneath in the few times he takes them off. |

Resident Evil: Wesker in all of his appearances, but from Resident Evil – Code: Veronica onward, he has a reason.note Who in their right mind would walk around exposing their cat-like eyes in public, anyway? Perhaps the most ridiculous use is when flashbacks and pictures shows him wearing them in the lab—perhaps as a form of eye protection? Even before he injects his virus, he chooses to wear shades in a foggy nighttime forest and rather dark mansion. In Resident Evil 5, this ends up helping Sheva and Chris defeat him, as they simply turn the lights in the arena off and shoot him when he starts having trouble seeing them. Ada in the Resident Evil 2 (Remake) wears sunglasses even though the entirety of the game takes place over night. She's trying to conceal her identity since she's a spy. |

Metal Gear: Kazuhira Miller from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker wears his aviator sunglasses every day, even during a thunderstorm. In addition, Miller wore them in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake's rereleases, and in Metal Gear Solid (although that was actually Liquid Snake disguised as Miller). In Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, during the night, when Snake reaches Kaz after he's been tortured and amputated, Snake hands Kaz his sunglasses, which he then proceeds to wear. In Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, Marionette Owl wore sunglasses even in places not appropriate (such as indoors during a blackout). It's justified in his case, however, as he was born with a mutant gene that allows him to see in the dark on par with an owl, and its hinted that his eyes as a result of the mutation shine in the dark, thus necessitating eyewear that masks the eyes. |

In The Beast Must Die, Tom's helicopter pilot always wears sunglasses, even while flying the chopper at night. Probably because 'day for night' shooting was used for all of the nighttime scenes. | |

A different Mr. X, a Wolverine villain and former member of the Thunderbolts, also wears sunglasses all day, every day. He's first encountered by his new T-Bolts teammates at a ballet performance; Paladin took care to notify him that he looked like an asshole wearing sunglasses indoors at night. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe Netflix series: Matt Murdock from Daredevil (2015) is blind, and wears sunglasses whenever he's not in his Daredevil gear. This of course doesn't obstruct his nonexistent vision at all; it's to hide his eyes from the sighted, who might find his lack of focus disturbing. Hernan "Shades" Alvarez from Luke Cage (2016) tends to wear his trademark sunglasses at all times. He takes them off when he means business. |

The Drow from Dungeons & Dragons have created the Smoke Goggles, which are basically very effective sunglasses. They protect both from sunlight (as drow suffer from light blindness due to their dark adapted eyes) and gaze attacks (giving a +5 save bonus against them), but heavily penalize perception of non-drow. | |

Just like Proto Man, Bob from Bob and George wears shades all the time, with or without his helmet. Proto Man did show his eyes once, in "The Aftermath of X". His mind had been switched with Mega Man's due to Mega Man X's wireless router, so he took his sunglasses back from Mega Man until they could be switched back (so it's actually Mega Man, in Proto Man's body, that's not wearing them, except for one panel immediately after they switch back). Bob, being a Proto Man recolor, is never seen without his shades in sprite form, and is usually partially or completely on fire in the hand-drawn comics (except for the 7th anniversary party, though fire was still involved). |

Fallout 3: The sunglasses give your perception stat a bonus regardless of when they're worn, encouraging this trope.

X-Men Film Series: Cyclops has to wear sunglasses everywhere at all times, or else things tend to get destroyed by his Eye Beams. In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Sabretooth taunts a young Cyclops by telling him that it's a little too dark to be wearing sunglasses. Of course, as mentioned above, Cyclops kind of needs to wear them. |

Steven Universe: Garnet maintains her mirrored glasses in any lighting, only removing them in a few circumstances. They cover up a Third Eye, making the few moments when she does lose her glasses much more surprising. Buck Dewey always wears sunglasses regardless of the time of day, and practically the only time we saw him without it was because they fell of when a monster beat him into submission. Peridot's green visor isn't dark-shaded, but she still wears it at all times (which one piece of staff art◊ pointed out should make it hard for her to see colors). It's worn so tight to her face, it's possible she formed it around her head in such a way that she can't take it off, since Peridot can't shapeshift without regenerating her whole body. Her second form replaces the visor with Triangular Shades, and though she wears those at all times, she does take them off once. |

In the Murdoch Mysteries episode "Excitable Chap", the mysterious figure known as "the Lurker" wears "shaded spectacles" to compliment his cloak and broad-brimmed hat, even though he only appears at night. It turns out he's James Pendrick, who suffered a Jekyll & Hyde reaction to a brain-tonic he'd been working on. It's not clear if this also resulted in photosensitivity, unsettling eyes, or just an ahead-of-its-time sense of coolness. | |

Sissel (actually Yomiel) in Ghost Trick always wears sunglasses, even though the game takes place entirely during the night. Justified because he's a ghost (so they don't hinder his vision), and because he saw the body he thought was his wearing sunglasses — being a cat, he likely didn't know what those black things on the face were. With Yomiel, it's probably just because of Rule of Cool. | |

Komi from Darken is a Drow, so his eyes are very sensitive to light. But when asked why he doesn't take his shades off at night, he confesses they are prescription. | |

The first one uses sunglasses to hide his damaged eye (he only wears sunglasses after it's damaged). The second one is entirely Rule of Cool. The third film plays it for laughs by having the Terminator reach into the jacket pocket of the leathers that he's procured from a male stripper only to put on a pair of ridiculous star-shaped shades. Being a Cyborg definitely helps with the vision problems normally associated with this trope. | |

Matt Murdock from Daredevil (2015) is blind, and wears sunglasses whenever he's not in his Daredevil gear. This of course doesn't obstruct his nonexistent vision at all; it's to hide his eyes from the sighted, who might find his lack of focus disturbing. | |

In Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, Marionette Owl wore sunglasses even in places not appropriate (such as indoors during a blackout). It's justified in his case, however, as he was born with a mutant gene that allows him to see in the dark on par with an owl, and its hinted that his eyes as a result of the mutation shine in the dark, thus necessitating eyewear that masks the eyes. | |

Wesker in all of his appearances, but from Resident Evil – Code: Veronica onward, he has a reason.note Who in their right mind would walk around exposing their cat-like eyes in public, anyway? Perhaps the most ridiculous use is when flashbacks and pictures shows him wearing them in the lab—perhaps as a form of eye protection? Even before he injects his virus, he chooses to wear shades in a foggy nighttime forest and rather dark mansion. | |

In The Plastic Man Comedy Adventure Show, a group of tiny villains are pursued by Plastic Man's team and they have rendered a Majah Raja unconscious. To hide that, they manipulate their victim like a puppet to tell Plas and his friends that everything is alright and are forced to cover his closed eyes with sunglasses to hide them. They are fooled for a few seconds until Plas remembers a few seconds after leaving that he noticed the sunglasses being worn at night in that dimly lit room. | |

The vampire Cassidy from Preacher wears sunglasses 24/7, except during flashbacks to his human life. Towards the end of the comic's run, we find out why. He was mistakenly buried alive once, complete with his eyes being stitched shut. He had to rip those stitches out, and his eyes are permanently damaged (think discolored plus bloodshot times a hundred) as a result. Before this revelation, every time his sunglasses come off we never saw his face, but someone reacted by asking "My god, what happened to your eyes?!?" | |

Final Fantasy: Rude from Final Fantasy VII. In The Movie sequel, when his glasses are knocked off and cracked, he simply reaches into his jacket and pulls out another pair. In the Remake in addition to Rude retaining this feature Barret is now shown to wear a pair of sunglasses in battle and the majority of situations which is a new addition he did not have the original game. This seems to be partially to give himself a "tougher" looking appearance as Barret is shown to have surprisingly kind and friendly looking eyes underneath in the few times he takes them off. Auron from Final Fantasy X fits in the classes 2 and 3. Interesting in that they're merely spectacles instead of the common wraparounds. Doesn't detract from the cool factor, though. Lightning from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is wearing sunglasses in the opening mission in Yusnaan. It’s pitch black outside save for the red lightning storm going on. Nero tol Scaeva of Final Fantasy XIV starts wearing sunglasses by the time of the Stormblood expansion. He is first shown wearing them at night, in the middle of a lightning storm, apparently for no other reason than to dramatically pull them off in front of his rival Cid. |

They've come off maybe once or twice (and probably just the once) over the course of the entire series, and by the point where they do, it's far enough into the series that it's almost shocking to see him remove them, even though his eyes are perfectly fine underneath them. | |

Parodied in a Saturday Night Live skit which featured various One-Hit Wonder stars from The '80s speaking at a congressional hearing on music piracy. One of the artists was Corey Hart, wheelchair bound and badly scarred. | |

In Body, Mel's father wears sunglasses all the time. Towards the end of the film, Holly asks Mel why that is. Mel replies that he is still smoking weed and thinks that wearing sunglasses will stop anyone noticing that he is stoned, but all it does is make him more conspicuous. | |

Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog always wears those little blue glasses that hide his eyes for no apparent reason... even on dimly lit space colonies. Maybe they're for protection, right? No, he sometimes covers them up with big black safety goggles — he apparently builds his robots by hand sometimes. In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), at least, Eggman's glasses serve as micro-computer screens for the Doctor. | |

Spider-Man's enemy Doctor Octopus. In the mini-series Spider-Man/Dr. Octopus Negative Exposure, he tells a photographer that there's a reason for this: the Freak Lab Accident that bonded his Combat Tentacles to him also made his eyes very sensitive to light. In the final issue of the mini-series, the photographer uses this knowledge to help Spider-Man defeat him. After the villain's glasses are knocked off, he aims a camera with a flash directly in his face, which blinds him long enough for the hero to clock him. | |

Riddick from Pitch Black wears not just sunglasses, but welding goggles, because his eyes have been altered to be super-sensitive to any light, as recounted in Escape from Butcher Bay. As a consequence, his eyeballs see things in just-next-to-total darkness in high resolution, and anything overly bright burns them. | |

The pilot episode of the short-lived 1987 series Werewolf (1987) has the protagonist driving at night while wearing sunglasses. It's before he gets the bite, so there's no supernaturally enhanced vision in play (though at least it's on a busy, well-lit city street). The scene is even accompanied on the soundtrack by "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" by Timbuk3. | |

The Blues Brothers is the Trope Codifier here. Jake and Elwood spend the entire movie, day and night, waking and sleeping, wearing their trademark sunglasses. They each take their glasses off only once (Elwood in a deleted scene where he needs to wear safety glasses, and Jake to give his ex the full force of his Puppy-Dog Eyes). Lampshaded near the end of the film. | |

Brent Sienna from PvP. When he gets a head injury in one story, the bandages get put on over his sunglasses. He finally takes them off, for one panel, at the altar when he married Jade. He puts them back on afterward, saying he hadn't seen unfiltered daylight in a decade. Apparently they were perscription since he's recently started wearing regular glasses. |

In Disco Elysium, the local pawnbroker Bird's Nest Roy wears sunglasses all the time he mans the counter in his dimly lit pawn shop. He turns out to have a practical reason for it, namely that his trying to hide his eyes, which are yellow and bloodshot from his addiction to the psychedelic drug pyrholidon. | |

Deus Ex: Human Revolution continues the tradition, going so far as to have sunglasses one of Adam Jensen's augmentations. One possible NPC response is "Nice sunglasses, but it's night time, you dig?" The glasses actually provide his digetic heads-up display, while also providing things like flash compensation to prevent being blinded by flashbangs. Once they're activated at the beginning of the game, he only takes them off twice: once during The Missing Link DLC (when his augmentations are disabled by an EMP chair) and once when he meets Megan Reed towards the end of the game. Otherwise, they stay on the whole time, which makes sense since his CASIE social augmentation projects information on his glasses for non-combat situations, and combat information is available at all other times. |

Kazuhira Miller from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker wears his aviator sunglasses every day, even during a thunderstorm. In addition, Miller wore them in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake's rereleases, and in Metal Gear Solid (although that was actually Liquid Snake disguised as Miller). In Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, during the night, when Snake reaches Kaz after he's been tortured and amputated, Snake hands Kaz his sunglasses, which he then proceeds to wear. | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor does this briefly in "The Hungry Earth". Justified in that they're night vision sunglasses. It's also not actually nighttime thanks to an opaque forcefield sealing the area off. He pulls it again in "The Woman Who Lived", wearing his sonic sunglasses on a robbery after dark rather than accept the offer of a domino mask. The Doctor does it a third time in "Extremis" and "The Pyramid at the End of the World", to the point that his companion Bill asks him why. This time, however, it's for a far more serious reason — he's hiding the fact that he's still blind from the events of "Oxygen". |

When he's not acting as Dr. Mid-Nite he always wears a pair of dark tinted glasses regardless of the time of day or night. The characters to take up the Dr. Mid-Nite identity after his death generally just always wear the goggles rather than switching out for sunglasses that don't let them "see" despite their blindness. | |

Umibozu from City Hunter. His first appearances in the manga occasionally showed him without sunglasses, but he later started wearing them all the time, even when disguised as a statue. Being almost blind, and later becoming completely blind, it doesn't affect him in the slightest, just adding to his scariness. | |

Numbuh One from Codename: Kids Next Door. In one episode, Lizzie took his glasses so she could lead the team. When she realized she was in over her head, he was about to take over, but it just didn't seem right... Then she gave him back the glasses and then everything was right. | |

The Corinthian from The Sandman (1989). Justified, in that he has tiny mouths with razor-sharp teeth where his eyes should be. We get several brief sequences from his POV in The Doll's House that include a blue tint to show this. In the second scene with him it becomes extra-clear that he's wearing sunglasses (rather than just standing in shadow) when a would-be mugger knocks them off and he has to put them back on a few panels later. Needless to say, you really shouldn't touch the shades. | |

Proto Man did show his eyes once, in "The Aftermath of X". His mind had been switched with Mega Man's due to Mega Man X's wireless router, so he took his sunglasses back from Mega Man until they could be switched back (so it's actually Mega Man, in Proto Man's body, that's not wearing them, except for one panel immediately after they switch back). | |

The Drow from the d20 Modern Urban Arcana setting have a habit of wearing sunglasses all the time, because they protect their dark adapted eyes from bright lights. While they don't protect against gaze attacks, light sources such as floodlights are much more common in the modern age. | |

A rather funny case with Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada. Originally, he was asked to do this in order to promote Street Fighter X Tekken, by serving as the "villain" to then-producer of Street Fighter Yoshinori Ono. After all was said and done, he became so heavily associated with his Cool Shades that he started doing it for real, to the point where they have now reached Iconic Item status for him. | |

Yamaki in Digimon Tamers only has his sunglasses off for about a minute of his total screen time, if that, and is often literally wearing them at night (or indoors in a darkened room). They also function as Sinister Shades, even though he retains them after changing his mind and allying with the Tamers. Satsuma (aka Samson) in Digimon Data Squad, on the other hand, is literally never seen not wearing his. He even drove at night still wearing them. It ended with a fiery car wreck of course, although the accident was not the fault of his shades. |

Partially invoked in the animated web saga Broken Saints, when the Shadow Men are shown wearing Cool Shades in a dark room, seemingly just so the artist could show the giant monitor they're watching reflected in the lenses. One of them, Lear Dunham is shown wearing them for the first few minutes of the Grand Finale, taking them off to dramatically reveal the gaping eye socket where his left eye should be. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: Bail bondsman Arthur Kilpatrick wears sunglasses indoors at night, possibly as part of his effort to hang on to some residual coolness from his days as a Bounty Hunter. He's a little bit too far gone to seed to pull it off. Beckett the Badass Bookworm vampire wears dark sunglasses at night. Justified since he has animalistic red eyes, which he needs to hide in order to protect the Masquerade. |

Clifford of The Muppets, except in Muppets Tonight. It seems likely that "classic" Clifford doesn't have eyes under the shades, so taking them off would be a bit Nightmare Fuel. Fozzie also wore them one episode, after the band declared him officially hip. He spent the rest of the episode bumping into things from wearing them indoors. |
