Moratorium on Black Plastic Glasses
I was flipping around between a few different TV shows last night and it occurred to me: it seems that every man between the ages of 25 and 45 who fancies himself something of a hipster wears the same black, plastic, rectangular framed glasses. Like this:
It really has reached a ridiculous level. Note to all you men out there: your glasses are no longer funky or hip when EVERY OTHER MAN in your demographic with eye trouble is also wearing them!Don't get me wrong, I love glasses as accessories. They can be fashionable and fabulous. But it's time to give the black plastic frames a rest, gentlemen. Try wire frames. Or brown. Or green! There are so many styles out there to choose from! Live a little.

What do you think of these alternative eye wear suggestions Miss Nancy?:

Although, to be fair, I remember sitting at some meeting or training and realizing that plastic/boxy framed glasses also seemed to be the frame of choice for progressive women (I don't really remember about the men but I feel like they went more for wire-rimmed glasses). But there were more colors and slightly different styles and very few people had black.
Mame, I like all of those frames! Great finds. See, gentlemen, there are many fashionable and funky eyewear options out there! Branch out!
And you're right suzaaku, it's not just a problem among hipster men. But it really stood out to me while watching Last Comic Standing and whatever else I was flipping between the other night. Actually, one of the reasons I wanted new glasses so badly last summer was because I felt like I had held on to the slightly-retro-tortoise-shell frames trend for too long. Now I love my sassy red frames!
