The Emporer’s New Clothes
Posted by Jonathan Wise on Apr 24, 2008We interupt our regular programming to bring you this rant about sunglasses.
Ladies, over-sized sunglasses are NOT attractive. I don’t know who started this trend, but they should be shot.
Now I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the most stylish person around. The only sunglasses I can wear are the ones that clip on to my regular glasses. But I’m still qualified to point out ugly.
These glasses, see, they cover half your face. Glasses are supposed to cover your eyes – not your eyebrows, most of your forehead and half your cheeks! Yet people prance around in these bug-eyed lenses thinking they look hot. You don’t look hot! You look mostly obscured! You could be the elephant man under there!
Unless these things have some hidden utility as diving goggles, I’m going to have to declare over-sized sunglasses the worst fashion trend since bell bottom pants. Don’t walk, run to the nearest store and replace them with something that doesn’t make you look like a character from A Bug’s Life.

Go Jon! I agree 100%.
‘Bout time someone spoke out against this idiocy.

@Shannon: aviator’s are only cool as retro-kitsch. I’ll be the first to admit they’re otherwise ridiculous.
@Dave: thanks. don’t date any girls with giant sunglasses. PS: Nice car!
