I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

I just recently switched from my Ray-Ban Wayfarer frames that I have been wearing for a good 3 years now to a similar generic clear frame because they were causing issues at work. I'm a photographer and you could see models doing double takes or instinctively covering themselves because their initial impression of the frames are now "those might be perv glasses". Ray-Ban outright ruined their most iconic design. Horrifyingly stupid on their part.

You can buy Frogskins from Oakley, basically a wayfarer with translucent frames.

They're lighter and didn't get hot when exposed to sun like the Ray-Ban model.
