Why do bodyguards wear dark glasses?

So you can't see where they're looking.
This is proven to increase the "intimidation factor" -- and is why they are recommended for women walking alone.

If they're the right kind of glasses, they also have small, built in mirrors on the outside right and left that allow them to look behind them. Seriously! Go look it up, I'm too lazy to google it and prove it.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

Well, I just watched on TV Puttin arriving in Israel (?), I don't think that his bodyguards tried to look cool ;)Originally posted by Downtimei dont know too many bodyguards but i'd assume they wear them because they think they look cool. and so you dont know they're staring you downComment

That's more like it, I thought that they wear some kind of special glasses that increase their vision.Originally posted by CJTrafficIf they're the right kind of glasses, they also have small, built in mirrors on the outside right and left that allow them to look behind them.

The job is to be a bodyguard. The dark shades, the dark suits...... it's all about intimidation. You want your bodyguard wearing something fruity that makes him look like he'll get his ass kicked by a girlscout? I want mine looking like the baddest mutha fucka in town.

yes... and not knowing where his eyes are.... is intimidating. Gives you nothing to go on.Originally posted by AnthonyNice.
It's common sense. Intimidation is a small part of it, and secondary.
It's all about not letting anyone know where your attention is. ie. Where you eyes are. They should always be scanning, perimeter and the clients personal space.SIG TOO BIGComment

Depends on the person they're protecting. Bodyguards for celebrities tend to be big and intimidating, giving the impression that the celebrity is more important that they actually are. Dark shades help.
Bodyguards for politicians, dignitaries, royalty etc will vary their appearance depending on conditions. The idea is NOT to stand out! They will know in advance what the person they are protecting is wearing, and will dress to match them - if all the bodyguards are wearing dark glasses but the dignitary isn't, that makes it easier for a potential threat to single out the dignitary. Bodyguards clothing should be a similar colour to that of the dignitary for the same reason. Dark glasses are worn only if conditions dictate (eg bright sunshine) - hiding their eyes is rarely a concern. If they do wear dark glasses, you can guarantee they're very expensive and optically perfect..Comment

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.Originally posted by the boywhy is the sky blue?
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.Truth TellerComment

Not all of them. I was involved with a show for the Queen of England a few years ago and she must've had 50 bodyguards. None of them wore dark glasses. All wore suits and all looked like stone faced military types that you would never want to fuck with. But the most intimidating thing with these guys was the huge bulge they all had under their suit jackets right under their arms. It looked like each of them had some heavy duty concealed firepower. Overall the feeling was that the general area we were in had just quietly become occupied by a military force. These guys didn't need dark glasses to be intimidating.Originally posted by juve20do they all wear dark glasses??
