If somebody wears far too many pairs of sunglasses, often even indoors, they are considered a Jack Of All Shades.
They're likely to combine the two aspects of owning far too many pairs of sunglasses and wearing sunglasses far too often, just as regularly in a sunny atmosphere as in winter, at night time, or indoors.

Jack of All Stats is a Standard Character Type in videogames.
The Jack of All Stats is defined by its lack of weaknesses or strengths. It's greatest strength is a lack of weaknesses, but it's greatest weakness is a lack of strengths.
In terms of game balancing, a Jack of All Stats character is pretty good at everything, but it is sub-par when compared to characters that specialize.
If the Jack of All Stats is next to worthless compared to specialized characters, it is instead known as a Master of None.
If the Jack of All Stats is much more powerful than the specialized characters, it is instead known as a Master of All.

Someone who is well read or performs well in a large variety of subjects that is admirable and worth mentioning; but on the other hand doesn't know everything about one thing in particular.
A Jack of all trades is similar to the value of a Jack in a deck of cards. It's a good card, but there are definitely better ones out there.
