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

[SusieDerkins]

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?

It's all about attitude. Peronally, I don't care whether my white sunnies make me look too try-hard or whatever, I think I rock them.
And I'm 33!

only a few of us bitched ladyaga

we have the right to bitch!

Sorry - I may be anti age discrimination, but crocs are not allowed on OldGimmersNet.

Do you have to be young to get away with Crocs too then?

I do have a pair....for gardening!

No - nothing to do with age at all. I just hate them!

YABU.

YABU grow up! Get with it.

yabu

sunglasses don't come with age classifications!

plastic frames PG
raybans

I think these glasses look risible on everyone who wears them and I congratulate you susie for drawing attention to this.

may look risible but still don't come with age classifications

Does anyone else read risible as wisible?

And I wear red sunglasses...

I have pink ones, they were 2 quid in Primark and I love them!

I'm 42 but what's that got to do with it? They're fun and they make me happy, who cares what anyone else thinks!

since when did over 25 equate to 'a certain age' ?

and what is 'a certain age' while we're about it?

suspects that OP thinks that people of my age should stick to lorgnettes

i have a pair of black wayfarers, would DEFO wear white ones and im 30. so yes YABU.

karala - come and join me on OldGimmersNet!

Plenty of lorgnettes there. Oh, and I do a nice line in crimplene day dresses in a lovely lilac floral print....

Because I'm Worth It - I just hope those day dresses aren't too short because you know that only really young people under a certain age can do the short thing. Old Gimmers Net - where the old dears prowl!

So what exactly are the over 25's supposed to wear? Bugger im 25 does this mean im supposed to go into fashion limbo when I hit 26??

I'm 40 and have a pair of lovely D&G sunglasses. I noticed in OK Magazine that Katie Price has the SAME ones - so I am obviously uber-stylish, moi!

I think white framed sunglasses are very vulgar - in the same league as white high heels! Not nice on anyone, IMO - under or over 25!

oh yeas, because women over the age of 25 should just give up really.

I think BonsoirAnna has made a very good point here, but I'm still hopping mad about this certain age business and that I should be in the fashion wasteland from now on. And according to the OP should have been for the last 20 plus years.

Was I so stupid when I was under 25?

Uber stylish and Katie Price in the same sentence don't really go.

I'm sure you look divine though, portofino ]

I like them. Don't suit me, but they can work on women on of any age. The other day I saw a fabulously stylish woman in her late 40s/early 50s wearing the cream-framed ones.

I wear those enormous black-out Prada ones and I am an 'old gimmer' of 32 yrs . Fuck it. I like 'em.

Bien sur coco!

Oh, and Doris and Flo will be round later with their mobile hairdressing van.

Blue rinse anyone?
