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 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.

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
