Plus, things like this very chic Faraday phone bag *are* effective.
(You don't need to spend $100 on one though. You can make one with tin foil and an envelope.)
Digital detox to go: Put your cell phone in the bag and all signals such as mobile networks, WiFi, GPS, RFID and Bluetooth are blocked. Online compartment included! Now you decide when to be available.

Now, plenty of improvements in surveillance tech (e.g. gait detection) would render most anti-surveillance fashion ineffective in many scenarios (would LOVE to see robust testing on this). But I think even making a fashion statement of "evading surveillance is cool" is meaningful.
And there are still people in the "trick object detection with this shirt" game! The vibe still ranges from "eccentric but wearable" to "rather upsetting to perceive"

I think this facial-recognition-spoofing reflective makeup from The Unseen is really cool:

Test one passed. Leaning on CV Dazzle Techniques but with reflective pigments! Please don’t cancel me government, this is just a playful experiment 👀📸🎥🤳 #antisurveillance #antisurveillancemakeup #innovation #makeup #protest #peace".

Facial recognition has come a long way in the 16(!) years since CV dazzle— it's cool to see makeup advancing too (although I still wouldn't bank on it).
If you still want to spend several $$$ on tacky sunglasses, consider instead: www.reflectacles.com
Seeing the reactions to the privacy nightmare of the Meta Ray Ban glasses has inspired me to go poke around what people in the anti-surveillance fashion world have been up to recently and it's kinda fun!
