I don't like keys in my pocket and when in a grocery store I can't find a good place for my sunglasses where they won't end up falling on the floor from bending over to pick up something off a lower shelf.
One day I figured I would try something and it works really well.
Take your sunglasses and fold them, and as you do put each arm of them through the ring of your keys.
Once the glasses are folded up with the keys on them drop the keys down between two of the wires in the upper part of the basket where a kid would normally sit.
The weight of the keys keeps the lenses off the basket wires and keeps your keys captured where they can't go anywhere.

I have been doing this for years and figured as minor as it may be, it could be a good solution for your glasses and keys both.
 
And then..... if someone follows you in, they know where your keys are if you turn away....... ;-)

I know you say that in jest, but I had someone walk up to me at the Nats and tell me he locked his keys in his trunk.
He wanted me to cut him a new set.
He seriously thought I could just cut a key for him and it would work.
After his seat back came out, I did cut him two new sets. He only wanted one set, but his buddy told him he'd buy the second set so he had them in his pocket.
 
I can't stand my keys not being in my pocket I have system I follow everyday. Keys chapstick and pocket knife in my left front pocket. My cellphone goes in my rear left pocket my wallet is in my right rear pocket and my backup pistol is in my front right pocket. I always put my sunglasses on the top of my head under my hat when I'm indoors so I done loose my glasses, but most of the time I try to leave my glasses in my vehicle I'm bad about losing and breaking sunglasses!
 
I never put a cell phone in a back pocket. If you slip and fall on your ***, snap there goes the screen.

I dont put anything in my back pockets. Maybe your a bit young yet, but I used to carry my wallet in my left rear pocket. It helped to screw up my lower back. Age and 33 years of a wallet in my back pocket helped with an un even spine, pinched nerves etc.

Sucks keeping my wallet in the front pocket, but you get used to it. It's either that or more lower back and leg pain for me. Plus the bonus random muscle spasms which are such an effing joy to experience. Back surgeon told me that guys like me that keep their wallets in back pockets to create an uneven spine and pinched nerves help to keep him in business. No kidding!! Not me anymore lol.

Heres how I roll. Wallet left front pocket, phone right front pocket. I keep my keys on a climber's D ring attached to a belt loop on my pants. Easy to grab in a pinch without fumbling in my pants pocket for em. My glasses are prescription, and come with magnetic sunglasses lenses that clip on. I usually leave the sun glasses part in the padded sleeve type eyeglass case in my car. Firearm in an IWB holster, shirt covering it up.

If you don't like keys in your pocket, maybe you have too many keys? I only need my house key and my pickup key. I carry two sets, because it sucks when you lock your keys in your vehicle, especially when it's running! It also helps to avoid having to shut off your vehicle just to open a house door. I see many people with a zillion keys. Aint no way they need them on a daily basis.
 
I know my solutions may not work for you guys but maybe the concept can be adapted to be suitable for the male form.

I determined years ago, purses are not a good idea for money, credit cards, keys or anything valuable. I have a phone but I don't carry it around because I only use it at home or in the office.

98% of the clothes I wear don't have pockets and are snug fitting so pockets with stuff in them would look stupid and be impractacle.

They make and sell a number of wallets that attach to underwear that can carry a credit card and cash without anyone knowing it's on you.

I usually lock all my keys in the car except for the single key to get in the car. For the one key I put a hair tie through the loop and wear it around my wrist so I can see it, everywhere I go.

These internet pics illustrate my point. The less i carry around the easier I keep track and never lose anything.

I don't wear a bra.
I see London I see France, I see no point in under pants.
Since I wear BDUs I got plenty of pockets though.
Wallet always in top left regular pocket and safe.
What did I do before cargo pockets,?
Main set of keys get moved around depending on what else I'm packing.
Here's a real tip.
For my antique daily drivers always carry a small backup set on a belt snap.
Those cars have no key warning etc
