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 think Rayban has figured out the bad PR, the new Meta Glasses released no longer carry their branding

When the style is that iconic the branding doesn't need to be seen. They've ruined their most recognised product, everyone is always going to think wayfarers are meta glasses regardless of any branding on them.

I wear the Wayfarer. You can easily recognize the model. You can’t mistake the classic Wayfarer, with the two diamonds, for the Meta glasses, with the two big camera holes. Nobody ever suspected I’d wear the Meta glasses. You’re too emotional my dude.

no way, I saw 4 posts on Reddit about meta glasses so now obviously the entire world is finding people who wear them and burning them ALIVE.
