Trend Spotting

Now that shutter shades are worn by people who look like this guy, what's the next cool sunglass option? Are wayfarers still cool enough? Does it even matter since summer is almost over? Hipster Runoff answers all.

Are shuttershades no longer mainstream-alt, yall?
Is there a new glasses trend that we need to be aware of?

The Olympics in China have been really successful, so I think a lot of people are going to 'try to be AZN' or something like that. U know how the world is... when they see something that they think is 'alt', they try to align their personal brand with it. s00 annoying/inauthentic.

Does n e 1 know if white framed sunglasses are still 'underground'/'indie'/'unique-core'?

YALL.
I'M SO CONFUSED. I HATE THE TAIL-END OF TRENDS. IT'S LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM N E M0RE. SUXXX SO BAD.

N e ways...Summer is almost over... do u need to wear sunglasses in the non-summer? Or are they a summer-exclusive accessory?
r u gonna miss the Shuttershade era?
R.I.P. Kanye West. U had a good run.

  • haha. these glasses were cool with kanye, but now that you can see them at every vendor on canal street, its like.... ENOUGH ALREADY! i have a pair that i havent seen ANYBODY wear yet: completely acrylic. and as to whether or not you can wear sunglasses in the non-summer, um...yes! hello! if you're outdoors, there should be sunglasses.
