It’s baffling how those 70s/80s molester/serial killer glasses became fashionable again. In the context of those decades they look barely alright, but when worn by people of today they just make a person look terrible.
Aviators?? lol last I checked they never went out of style. Putting clear lenses in them doesn’t change the glasses style.
And as a separate data point, I think these glasses look totally fine. I don’t own any, and I don’t think about child predators when I see them, unless the person looks like a creep, but that’s besides the glasses. Must be a product of those having grown up in the generation.
Aviators never went out of style, they’re the cheapest large lens you can get!
I wear them in transitions and the wife and I love joking that I swap between “badass lawman” when they’re in sunglasses mode and “70s cult leader” when they’re in normal glasses mode
Though I think wearing a hat massively helps the serial killer vibes those give off. If I put my flat cap on I look fine, take it off and book, Dahmer

I think a lot of people get them because they’re the cheapest frames.
Ladies love a bad boy, and you don’t get much badder than a rapist
I’ll forever associate these glasses with the annoying boss from Office Space.
Did anyone specific ruin them? Like, how did they get that reputation?
Jeffrey Dahmer wore them
