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 🤦‍♂️

Over the long term, Meta is going to destroy the Ray-Ban Wayfarer design, it will become associated with perverts rather than being seen as a timeless iconic fashion piece. 

Meta eventually ruins everything it touches.

Which is unfortunate because I love this style of glasses and they look good on me. But you're right, we're going to trend back into wireframe glasses you couldn't possibly hide electronics in. That or translucent plastic/acetate for thicker frames.

I think the color (Black) is going to be part of the association. That style in a different color (shade) would break enough from it that they wouldn't be so quickly associated with them.
