Can You Get Away With RayBans?
Jump to Comments
So chuffed about the Wall Street Journal review of How Not To Act Old, which calls the book “as insightful as it is entertaining,” that I may stay up till 10:30 tonight and put an extra wedge of lemon in my seltzer. Woo!
The Journal piece includes a book excerpt detailing what items of hipster gear you, I mean we, can get away with, and what we’d better leave to the young ‘uns. So what do you think? RayBan Wayfarers with clear lenses:
Yay or Nay? Head on over and read the excerpt at the WSJ to find out. Or better yet, buy the damn book!
Any of these type of glasses make the wearer look like an old fart or a dork. Think of the evil dad in Heroes!
I’m going to take that as a nay.
Thanks goodness my German shoes were on the can do list!
I saw these glasses on Jay-Z, in a photo of him with his wife Beyonce…honestly, I didn’t know they were Ray Bans, and I thought to myself: WTF?? He looked like a TOTAL ass IMHO. Now, is that because I am old and didn’t know they were “in style” or just because the glasses are fugly?
Uh, both, actually. The glasses are fugly AND, because you’re old, you didn’t know they were in style.
