Geordi La Forge? Nope, it's street style.

Okayyyy...so, futuristic sunglasses are making a comeback? The trend has been itching to get back in the spotlight since 2007's over-sized specs were a hit. But could it actually be that people, normal people, are wearing these? Apparently, in Tel Aviv, they are. Maybe they were really excited about Star Trek's release...getting all Geordi La Forge on us.

Rock it (give thumbs up) or Knock it (laugh in their face)? I'm curious to hear your take.

Haha I am sure some people can pull these off but definitely not me. If I see someone wearing these I would think its a joke!

hm I think thumbs down- the first thing I thought without reading your commentary was "geriatric crew". unfortunately I live in a suburb of san diego where everyone apparently goes to die. and I swear every single one over 75 wears them, like "I wear my sunglasses to bridge... so I can, so I can."

fersure.

I think I'm going to have to knock it. They remind me of the things they give you at the eye doctor after you've had your eyes dilated :P

Awesome Sara said...

becks said...

A bit out of point but the flaming hair colour rocks!

it looks like one of those especial glasses that eye doctors make you wear so the light doesn't touch your eye. hahah wow

Unknown said...

I give the glasses an ENORMOUS thumbs down...knock it fo sho. But, these people are so painfully cool that of course they can pull it off...just not for moi.
