Subject: Big eyeglasses?

Written By: Ryan112390 on 02/04/10 at 1:47 am

Lately, around my campus I've seen several people, both male and female, wearing big eyeglasses ala the eyeglass frames of the late 80s-mid 90s. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this and if you guys think this will be a 2010s trend, since there's beginning to be a wave of general late 80s to early/mid 90s nostalgia?

The last pic, the one where the guy has both big glasses and the mullet, make me wonder why either fad went away.  ;D

Man, you used that last guy in your mullet thread.  Are you sure that's not actor David Strathairn?

I think that's Ryan's dad.  Or somebody's dad on here.

This is Ryan's family


My family, August 8 1991. Note my sister's (who was 19) backwards cap.

I like my glasses, regular sized.  I had big glasses once, hated wearing them.

Eyeglasses look right on the right people. I have to wear glasses for reading, but mine are small and silver and rarely seen as I don't really wear them outside my home.

When I was younger, I wore big red framed glasses like Kellie Martin in Life Goes On.

I had these, and picked them out at 7 years old in 1993.... ??? What made me think this was a good look.

The only time you'll see me in big frames is when I'm rocking my shades ala Nicole Richie.
