What is with this trend of chicks wearing these collosal framed sunglasses that take up half of your face….you know the kind Nicole Ritchie, Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham all wear (cos heaven knows they are so cool!!)
Seriously, you look like retards…sunglasses protect your eyes, not your entire face.
I guarantee it, in ten years time, they will be the equivalent to neon coloured 80’s shades.

Yup. And so will skinny jeans and scarves and recycled 80’s jewellery and peasant tops and bag dresses and ballet flats and…..Big sunglasses are silly and fun and I’ll enjoy them for a while. Or some people think they’re chic and sophisticated. Who cares?!
OP….wait for it…the neon coloured 80’s shades are already back in some parts and are ready to drop in Hali in a few months I bet. I’m just waiting for the fanny packs to come back in style so I can sell my collection on E-bay.
Miles, I would’ve never expected you’d be the type to ever have a fanny pack….even when it was in! I miss my K-way jacket that turned into a fanny pack…..lets all hope those make a comeback someday….
hey, those were damn convienent!and OP at least those giant sunglasses protect the eyes from harmful rays.eye health is always in fashion 😉
You got me Lori….I was just goofin’ around. I totally wish I had a closet full of that 80’s gold now though. But I totally had the windbreaker jacket that folded into the fanny pouch too!! I loved those things.
I’ll take Bug-Eye glasses over those little rectangular frames any fucking day. Everyone and their dog seems to be wearing them and, unfortunately, they are only flattering to a select few. I’d like to tie up the asshole who came up with that design and the bastard who invented pantyhose and string them both up by the balls.
Um, I wear giant sunglass to protect the skin around my eyes. Ya, the sun damages that part too dumbass.
Alleycat and others,,, if you are only considering the health and safety aspect of this, without addressing how ridiculous you look, maybe you should think about wearing a welder’s helmut… Its not just the skin around your eyes that is exposed to damaging rays…
I have sunglasses that protect the skin around my eyes, and they’re not gigantic. Alleycat.
I tried really hard last winter to find a FarWest jacket. You’d think it’d be easy.
You can get the original Frye boots again which is kind of neat.

I have three pairs of sunglasses: RayBan, Serengetti, and Guess and I get complements on all 3. None of these are the current style bug-eye type. Not all styles are meant for all people. If I don’t like the look of them, I don’t wear them, regardless of what is in fashion.
Floyd: The skin around your eyes is thinner and more sensitive than any other skin on the body, including the rest of the face. This makes that area more vulnerable to sun damage, so why wouldn’t I do what I can to prevent that? The idea of a helmet, you sarcastic asshole, is just ridiculous. Also, the light has the magical ability to sneak into your retinas from the sides of teeny tiny sunglasses. by reflecting off your cheekbones. Also, to you and the bitcher, thinking people look stupid in something is an opinion. I’m sure you wear all kinds of stupid stuff, and I bet you don’t care what other’s think. Why do you think anyone cares about your aesthetic opinions? Fashion is fashion. If you don’t like looking at those people, shut your fuckin eyes behind your tiny sunglasses.
OK allycat… Let me ask you this….Next year or two, when the fashion pendulum swings back the other way to the normal smaller sunglasses, are you still going to be walking around with a couple of picture windows strapped to your face..??
ROTFLMAO @ picture windows strapped to your face.Still got it, floydster. Don’t ever lose it.

You don’t want none of this?….Stop looking….Because Fashion IS fashion…and you better shut yo’ fuckin’ eyes….
ook zzz, now you’ve mentioned he-who-shall-not-be-named in a post.I’d prepare for some serious troll flaming at the stake if I were you.I REALLY want someone to snatch off your rubber cyber mask and reveal you for homie, or at least homie’s pawn…at which point you will cry ‘and I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids’or somethign to that effect
sadly hedgy, there’s no excuses. I do remember what you say/type.If I were a homie or a ginger/PB/meow/shutthefkup I would likely rant some inane drivel that I’m not, but whatever… I’ll let my ‘misspelled’/sensible statements speak for themself.
wow, that sounded kind of bitchy in itself toward hedgy… and I was definitely getting to like her.I’ll say it… I despise big sunglasses.Anyone who wears them, expect to get a big frown from me.
