Would You Wear Super Chunky Sunglasses?

I posted recently about the popular Super Sunglasses that are being worn by celebrities like Kanye West and Daft Punk. These retro-inspired plastic sunglasses have thick chunky frames that have an almost cartoon-like appearance. I love the graphic image of this style of frames, but do they seem more like sunglasses that should be worn by children and not adults? Can they look fashionable or they do they end up looking silly unless you are a celebrity?

These Chloe sunglasses have extremely thick black plastic frames. I love the Wayfarer style plastic frames that are popular this summer, and adding thickness to the frames seems to be taking this design to the next level. Is this the look that we’re going to be seeing everywhere next summer? I remember when I thought the super oversized frames were kind of silly, but now they are completely mainstream.

Could you see yourself wearing super chunky plastic sunglasses?
Hi Kelly,
I am tired of seeing the same big, ckunky, unimaginative frames and have a feeling others are, too. OPTYLUX, the company I work for, is the sole U.S. distributor of a stunning feathered collection of high-end eyewear from Italy called ETE. The original concept was to use a beautiful element from the fashion world (feathers) and carry it over into eyewear as a complementary accessory. I hope you will go to our website and take a look!
Hi Kelly,
I just wanted to mention that our website is http://www.optylux.com. I hope you and your readers will take a look at ETE!
Also, if any of you are planning on attending International Vision Expo Las Vegas October 1-3, we will be there with our full collections. We have already been featured on the Expo Facebook page.
Hope to see you there!
