AIBU?

to think that women over, say, 25 should not wear those sunglasses with the white/pink/lilac frames?

A couple of mums at school were wearing white framed sunglasses at pick up yesterday. They are very attractive and stylish women but these sunglasses looked stoopid, as if they were trying too hard to be cool. Here's an example

AIBU to think that these sunglasses belong on very young women not yummy mummies doing the school pick up?

Hmmm, must be just round these parts that women of a certain age look ridiculous in them.

How old are you, OP? And what is a "certain age"?

I think they look fine on older women.

Surely it's a coolness quotient rather than an age thing

every morning i see two teenagers in matching heart shaped white rimmed sunglasses they look cool.

wearing them seriously would probably make me laugh, like you're trying too hard.

I would love to be young enough/cool enough to wear them without looking like I was trying too hard.
