What do you think of black framed glasses?

[GilbertGrape]

Revenge of the nerds, or fashionable?

[AndyFoo]

Mainly worn by this type...

If they're prescription then fine if you're doing it just for a pathetic sheep following fashion statement, you're a cock.

That's superb

[SC7]

Yep, worn by utter s.

[Eric Mc]

They seem to be making a comeback.

If they were OK for Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Brains .....








Oops - it se4ems Brains' specs were blue - that's what comes of only seeing Thunderbirds in black and white back in the 1960s.

OP, are you suggesting that glasses of any other colour are OK but black glasses aren't ?

BTW No, I don't have black glasses.

I have a pair of these:

Which are black, but I'm not sure they are the kind of glasses you are on about.

I also own a pair of the crappy black plastic ones, which I got for free and on recommendation of a woman type because they look "stylish". They look st IMO and never get worn.

I like the "Sexy Secretary" style, wide lenses, black rim.. Blouse..

Oh, the geek type. No they're stupid and everyone just jumping on the bandwagon.

Blimey, didn't know it was voiced by David Graham; he was descending into alcoholism as I was starting out using voices in the 80s.

Very similar to my pair of glasses.

Meh, worn these glasses for about 3 years and I like them.



They are prescription though, anyone who wears glasses who doesn't need them is a tt.

No these are fine if you wear them for a reason and suit you.

Its the ones with clear/no lenses that make you look stupid.

[GilbertGrape]

Yes, I'm talking prescription. I'm thinking of 'jumping on the bandwagon'. I'll see.

[Xaero]

I wore a pair over the last year (prescription), but think they are dated now. Guess I'm ahead of my time :P I wear bottom rim glasses now like this although my optician tried to convince my otherwise:



Anyone who wears them to be cool/nerd look, is a weapons grade cock.

That video is awesome ^ by the way.

[Morningside]

Jumping on the bandwagon. Same as the lets be different, yet all look the same specsavers.

I am truly laughing at some of these glasses of today. Nice looking lady with ultra thick black frames. I mean, come on.
If you had worn them back in the 1970s/80s you would a) be laughed at b) had no mates and yet, they are coming back in fashion!?

These were the frames that were worn by the boy at school who had the blob of araldite holding the middle together, complete with plasters over the arm to stop their ears from chaffing.

Buddy holly? Yes maybe, but can I also present (Roland, Grange Hill):

This guy has been seen in a pair:



So they must be fashionable. Mind-you that was a couple of weeks-ago so maybe not.


Also wearing an overgrown sock on ones head is considered to be cool apparently.
