Vancouverite women, ditch the big sunglasses!

In general, the women of Vancouver (at least in the parts I frequent) have good tastes. They dress well, are typically in good shape, etc. But in one area where they consistently fail at style is with sunglasses. Almost every woman in town wears those over-sized sunglasses that someone would have to have bug eyes to require.

Ladies, those big sunglasses do not frame your face well. They just look ridiculous on almost everyone women who wears them. This is not a trend everyone should blindly jump on to. So many people who should not wear these kinds of sunglasses that I now use it as a quick judgment of one's personal taste if they don't look good in the sunglasses (and unfortunately that is a huge chunk of the female Vancouver population).

So please, ladies, stop wearing the hideous eyewear!

Brett, take a deep breath! Now, realize that in ~6 months nobody will be wearing these offending sunglasses, and you will be morning the lack of them.

not just up there, you see those big glasses everywhere in SF and LA too. I don't really care too much for them, I see them as a trend, so it should go away at some point.

As Bryan said, it's an all-over trend (that has sadly gone on for a year or two!) It's almost like the velour track suits that only just recently started falling in popularity (it took what, 4-5 years?) But I hear you Brett. Also, don't get me started about Uggs or Crocs (fur boots in So-Cal, rubber shoes, wtf?)

@josiah: Both of those shoe trends have died down a lot up here in the past year. At least here it gets cold enough that fur boots can make sense.

you know, the sausage-fest of commenters is pretty smirk-worthy. keep in mind that though trends come and go, that just means that they'll come again. probably in your lifetime.

@fert: big glasses were big in the 80's. They looked bad then too.

I'ma gonna stand in the same corner as Jery :) HI JERY! I'm not keen on them myself, and when you live in a city known for its superficial glamor and Hollywood, you tend to be a bit more ce'st la vie. It will come, it will go. Let's swap stories of the seemingly never-ending things instead, like face visors :)
