Trend spotting

The picture doesn't show it clearly, but it is a sneaky shot of 3 out of the 4 staff at our neighbourhood Starbucks wearing black rimmed glasses without any glass. Yes, plastic frames only. Glasses without glass. Odd!

I have seen these "glasses" for sale at markets around town for not much more than a dollar, and noticed a few people wearing them, but this 75% of Starbucks staff thing tells me this trend must have moved into mainstream popular culture. They are of no use whatsoever to improve one's eyesight but oh so darned stylish! I find this an odd statement of fashion, but perhaps it is a sign that I am getting old.
