These shutter shades amaze me. And not in a good way, mind you. Ever since the overly annoying and self-important Kanye West started wearing them, everybody who is lame and wants to be lamer followed hot in pursuit. Given, the shades were kind of cool, but only for about ten seconds, until you find them in every corner you look at—even in places you didn’t think sell those kinds of shades. I went to the local market once, buy the ingredients for the pasta I was going to cook, and beside the vegetable vendor was a manong selling shutter shades, with his big rack of ridiculously colored shades. Even he was wearing his merchandise (he must think it’s mandatory to model his own product).
I’m starting to notice a lot of men already wearing them, even if there’s no sun (they can’t pull it off even if the sun is out). But they don’t realize that it’s not for everybody, despite the overwhelming abundance of it. Okay, there would be most probably only one person in the universe who can pull something like shutter shades. That means that there is a 99% chance it’s not you.
So my advice for those who have not yet been sucked into total lameness, don’t even consider buying shutter shades, unless you want to look like a window. Shutter shades are lame.
