Go fishing sometime in the southern latitudes near the equator, anywhere in the World, and see how the locals use the face masks. In fact, try to find one who is on the water every day without it, LOL. They never leave without them. There may be a message there.
It isn't about style, its about function and they are an essential part of my gear no matter where I'm fishing. +1 on this. Additionally, I firmly believe it adds to the stealth factor for fair skinned folks like me. I think our skin is pretty reflective. As far as the fogging, pay attention to the "base curve" when picking out your sunglasses. Most Costa and Smith or any higher end frame that can take prescription lenses will list the base curve specification. The higher the number, the greater the curve or more "wrap around" type of frame. It's a trade off. The more wrap around the frame, the more outside light it will block from reaching the lense, but also the tighter the fit to your face which generally increases the fogging potential. If you go with a lower base curve you should see less fogging as it will allow more air to flow behind the lens. https://www.backcountry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/base-curve.jpg
