Am I just getting old, or are sunglass fashions getting absurd?

[KyuzoGator]

Seen on the back page of the Sunglass Hut catalog I received in the mail today:

[beyurslf]

1. I think they look fine I wouldn't want to pay 170 bucks for them though

[Left Is Write]

2. BIG sunglasses are an old trend returning again.

There's nothing new under the sun. So to speak.

[XemaSab]

3. For covering up

really, really, really dilated pupils.

[Ava]

4. i don't like those,

but i do have a pair of big sunglasses that i love.

[Shakespeare]

5. Oh good lord.

I'm a RayBan wayfarers girl. Always have been, always will be.

[GirlinContempt]

6. I love oversize sunglasses

Love love love them

[Ava]

7. me too

[GirlinContempt]

25. A kiosk in some mall

[no name no slogan]

11. Yeah, but they work on you

Everybody else looks like an extra from Starsky & Hutch

[GirlinContempt]

26. I think this may be

the nicest thing anyones ever said to me! ;)

[u4ic]

8. I call them "Grandma Dynamite" sunglasses

after the Flintstones character...

[madrchsod]

9. no

www.klasik.org check these dandies

[taught_me_patience]

10. Retro

everything in fashion comes around. If the high waist/tight ankle jeans come back then...

:puke:

[bigwillq]

[Fenris]

13. Glasses designed for driving through plutonium.

[KyuzoGator]

[KyuzoGator]

14. kick nt

[YouthInAsia]

15. its the price thats outraeous, not those glasses

[eyepaddle]

16. I don't like that style, but that seems to be what sunglasses cost

these days. Add $300 if you want prescription lenses in them. :cry:

Here's the pair I pick up next week. :woohoo:

?r=87718

(I got mine without the spray cups though--I WILL get water behind the lenses, and at least this way it will drain out.)

[windy252]

17. So, it's not just me who thinks some of them look silly n/t

[Blue-Jay]

18. Jeez, some people will buy anything.

Those glasses look like shit.

[Nailzberg]

19. Look like the cataract sunglasses the old folks wear.

Maybe I should go to Walgreens and pick up a pair of those for 15 bucks instead of putting down 170 at the Sunglass Hut.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. LOL comes with a walking stick and seeing eye dog.

[Iris]

20. when I was a young (20-something) high school teacher, i had some

Jackie-O type classes that I thought were fab-u-lous! When I lost them and got some smaller glasses, one of my students said, "Oh, Miss - , I'm so glad you got rid of those bug-eyed glasses!"

It's funny to see they are now in style (10 years later).

[dolo amber]

22. Erm...

:wtf:

[Nailzberg]

23. Okay, now that has gone too far.

Who the hell buys these, besides someone making a supervillain outfit?

[KyuzoGator]

24. Funny you should mention supervillains...

The ninja vampires in Blade II wore these glasses.

[CarpeDiebold]

28. ninja vampires?

:rofl: :rofl:

you've GOT to be kidding me. that might be THe funniest image i have ever conceived in my head. oh my god. then again, i'm pretty drnk.

[Nailzberg]

30. Ninja Vampires is funny.

Even funnier than the Clone Ninja Army in American Ninja II.

[no name no slogan]

35. Y'know, those would match DS1's manthong pretty well

(searches his cache for the pic...)

[NMMNG]

29. I've seen worse, though those are way too big and pricey for my taste

Plus I need prescription shades as well.

[lakemonster11]

31. Okay, those are hideous.

Mine look like this:



They're prescription, too!

[Swamp Rat]

33. Yeah, but they allow you to see THEM!

[Swamp Rat]

32. Man, dat ain't nuthin' compared to OLDER styles worn by Elton John or

George Clinton! :D

[Orsino]

34. It's not an "or" question. :-)

But those are some ridiculous shades. Anything that huge had better be VR goggles, IMO.
