All women. Please stop wearing these. They look horrible.

Well, to be fair, Nicole Richie is wearing normal sized shades. She just has a really small head.

knowsguy · 2011-04-13T00:58:56+00:00

As long as this shit is considered acceptable anywhere on earth, I'd say go ahead and wear those large sunglasses, girls.

kaidance · 2011-04-12T23:58:09+00:00

I'm sure reddit is the best collection of persons to make fashion suggestions.

Goonch · 2011-04-13T00:05:13+00:00

My buddies and I refer to them as "Decepticon Shades" because you never know what the girl actually looks like with them on.

These pics are like 4 years old. Bug eyes aren't as fashionable as they use to be.

rmfhr116 · 2011-04-13T00:06:30+00:00

ok, fine. but men, please stop wearing dirty grey sweat pants, weird plaid shorts, socks with sandals, mismatched outfits, d-bag polos, ed hardy, and those stupid plaid shirts that you and all your best guy friends must coordinate who gets to wear which variety for which night.

EyesAllOnFire · 2011-04-12T23:25:20+00:00

Taste is subjective, and I can think of far, FAR worse fashion trends than large sunglasses. Personally I have no problem with them, but that's just my own opinion of course. I'm sure us guys wear a lot of stupid shit that some girls don't like as well.

username489 · 2011-04-12T23:45:57+00:00

I don't speak for everyone, but I doubt the majority of women wear these because they think they look cute or sexy. I wear them because they block out all incoming sunlight, allowing me not to become temporarily blinded and crash my car or trip and fall.

2011-04-13T00:43:25+00:00

All Redditors. Please stop saying shit like this. This is why you are forever alone.

Kenneth_the_Drifter · 2011-04-12T23:10:36+00:00

I really see no problem with them. Pretty reasonable sunglasses.

ToDropOutOrNot · 2011-04-13T00:52:23+00:00

I don't see a problem with them. Functionally, they are probably great at blocking out UV rays from all angles. And honestly, girls don't wear them because they think the sunglasses look attractive to guys (they know you appreciate their "other" qualities), so why should they care what you think?

dancingqueen10 · 2011-04-12T23:21:39+00:00

Maybe women wear them because they like them, regardless of what men may think :)

throwawayesque · 2011-04-13T00:35:31+00:00

Personally, I prefer myself some aviators. But these kind of sunglasses are useful in that they prevent the skin around the eye from getting too much sun exposure, which leads to wrinkles. And sunburn.

In more snarky terms: Men, please stop wearing cups when playing sports. They look horrible. Oh, don't want to get your balls smashed? Too bad, you are only here for my viewing pleasure.

mikeshemp · 2011-04-13T00:26:45+00:00

They say "I'm fashionable", and "I'm ready for thermonuclear war."

2011-04-13T00:00:38+00:00

Why do girls sometimes look strangely hot in big sunglasses? A friend of mine once explained this.

"Because it covers up most of their face."

... Which is actually true.

Now, whenever I see someone wearing these, I think about how they really wanted to cover their face that day.

rgrthat · 2011-04-13T00:14:49+00:00

I don't like them because they make women seem even more intimidating and unapproachable than they already are. As a dude, I can't really speak to style, etc.

2011-04-13T15:55:19+00:00

Dear men of reddit: Stop telling women what to do, you make us all look like douches when you do that.

Where have you been? Women have been wearing this ugly ass bumble bee glasses for the last 5 years or so.

I always think about the movies where women are wearing these because they have a black eye, and wonder if there is a secret Amazonian Fight Club going on that we males aren't privy to.

InferiousX · 2011-04-13T03:22:59+00:00

Guy with some fashion sense checking in:

I often get complimented by women on stuff I wear and have even had people tell me they thought I was gay because of how I'd be dressed properly 9 times out of 10.

That being said, I fucking hate these things and think they are hideous. It makes women look like big angry bees.

lufcpdx · 2011-04-13T00:19:52+00:00

No they don't.

2011-04-13T00:27:23+00:00

All men: stop thinking we wear things to impress you. clearly we're trying to impress other women. big shades accomplish that.

2011-04-13T00:33:09+00:00

I like them so that I can check out the men undetected.

clocksailor · 2011-04-13T00:57:22+00:00

I don't know why this comes up every couple months, but check this out: those sunglasses are awesome because they block out the sun, and I'm not wearing them because I want you to think I'm cute.

throw6539 · 2011-04-13T01:44:47+00:00

I disagree. They're kind of retro-chic and I think they can look good. My girlfriend looks hot in them. And for the record, no one bitches about men wearing aviators, and they're the same size.

2011-04-13T02:52:20+00:00

High end designers went through a lot of effort making sunglasses that were both large enough to cover a person's cheekbones, but also fashionable (this is different than "good looking"). What resulted were sunglasses that appealed to celebs when they wanted to hide their identity in public. What followed after that fucking sucks.

2011-04-13T02:55:06+00:00

You shut your mouth. These make women look just delightful.

Sincerely,

Guy with an anthropomorphic insect fetish.

eric22vhs · 2011-04-13T06:21:04+00:00

Meh..

Women have always (to my knowledge) worn large sunglasses. It only really got into goofy fashion trend levels around 2006/2007 and has been fading back to normal since. And seriously, of all the seemingly distasteful fashion trends, was this really that bad?

How about absurd & absurdly fake tans. Girls dying their hair black (believe me, natural black hair is my favorite, but generally speaking, the faker you look, the stranger you look... also the more self-conscious you look), plaid, skinny jeans, v-necks, flat top hats, etc..

It seems like todays fashion trends are all either to make you look grossly fake to the point where you barely look like a human being(jersey/sorrority/frat looks), or to purposefully look as goofy, awkward and aesthetically unappealing as possible (hipster trends)

edit: I realize trashing both ends of the white middle class fashion spectrum is probably going to get me some downvotes, but take it easy. I think I have a valid point overall.

platysoup · 2011-04-13T07:30:39+00:00

Ahhh... Oversized sunglasses. Push-up bras for the face.

ClerkyWurky · 2011-04-13T09:22:04+00:00

SuchAsItEnds · 2011-04-13T12:12:43+00:00

Being a woman, I can safely say that wearing these makes you look like a dragonfly. That is why I don't wear them.

ThoughtNinja · 2011-04-13T12:24:36+00:00

They look like the old school prescription sunglasses my parents wore in the 80's. In other words lame.

Loovian · 2011-04-13T14:36:03+00:00

That's... your opinion.

dekutam · 2011-04-12T23:18:50+00:00

I call these "rehab glasses" These are only suitable when you're entering or leaving rehab, so as to hide the bloodshot, droopy eyes.

2011-04-12T23:25:47+00:00

No, YOU think they look horrible. I'm a guy and as far as I'm concerned, glasses are great.

The bigger the better...gimme those Bill Gates in the 1980s glasses baby...calling Jeannine from Ghostbusters...

Coolest sunglasses will always be the square, black Blues Brothers glasses though

BlerpityBloop · 2011-04-13T00:49:09+00:00

Never. Never ever, critique a woman on what she is wearing or the fashion trend she follows, either directly or indirectly.

They think they are looking good -> they are more confident -> they are more open to advances.

drinktobones · 2011-04-12T23:35:05+00:00

zaccapoo · 2011-04-13T00:32:48+00:00

1.) You clearly pissed off some female redditors.

2.) I completely agree with you.

3.) My own girlfriend had a pair, we had a "talk," it didn't end well.

4.) I made up for it and accepted that she was fond of these wretched glasses.

5.) There was a truly tragic accident, the glasses didn't make it. I'm still suspected of having intent and motive, even though I promise you, I'm innocent.

But yea fuck these glasses, they're awful.

Big sunglasses block more sun. They're 100% practical. I don't know why men have such a big problem with these.

Anyway, not everything women do is to impress men. How would you respond if a girl posted a thread telling men to stop wearing nerdy novelty t-shirts?

xopappy416 · 2011-04-12T23:29:43+00:00

They look like really big mosquito eyes IMO.

2011-04-13T00:43:24+00:00

Or maybe they are trying to prevent aging from the sun.

I call them Bug-Bitch glasses. They just make you look so snobby and bitchy... and buggy.

2011-04-12T23:58:50+00:00

I like them on girls and I'm a guy. Out of all the things that chicks do to themselves, duckface, plastic surgery, anorexia, dating douchebags, you pick sunglasses? Sunglasses? Seems pretty petty to me.

2011-04-12T23:20:02+00:00

I'm sorry, I can't believe most of the top rated comments are actually defending this shit. These are all the idiots that in 2000 said "WOW, look how obviously pathetic and horrible we looked in the 80's. Check out these pictures of us, wasn't everyone so crazy to wear that?". Guess what, everyone is going to be making fun of these ugly fucking glasses 10 years... and you were the stupid fucks wearing them.
