Boxy 80s Glasses

May 17, 2005 @ 2:22 am

I'm convinced that the crazy huge eyeglasses from the 80s (as seen on Steve Carell in Anchorman) are about to make a big comeback as a hip/ironic fashion accessory. After all, if Henry Kissinger's eye-wear can go from nerdy to hip, why not Jimmy Swaggart's?

You may be onto something. I keep seeing sorority girls wearing ginormous Miami Vice-style sunglasses.

Yes, that's right big showy glasses are in at the moment. aviators, retro and fly eyed.

I think you are right... I've seen a lot of people wearing these sunglasses in the San Diego area: www.knockaroundsunglasses.com
