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?

I look stylish in mine. It's just you Susie.

SusieDerkins · 03/06/2009 16:43

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

Sparkly gold socks! Whoa Momma, that's some serious style you're busting there, I like it

Mulanmum1 · 03/06/2009 16:59

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

cornsilk · 03/06/2009 16:59

Gold socks!

brimfull · 03/06/2009 16:59

I think they look fine on older women.

DarrellRivers · 03/06/2009 16:59

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

Sassybeast · 03/06/2009 17:01

Mine are pink and they are 'well cool' according to my DD. I am well more than 25........

CowWatcher · 03/06/2009 17:01

I agree. Utterly ridiculous. YANBU.

cornsilk · 03/06/2009 17:03

Wizzska · 03/06/2009 17:05

Stop being such a judgy pants. People should wear what they want.

southeastastra · 03/06/2009 17:07

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.

SusieDerkins · 03/06/2009 17:09

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