Cool or Tool: Sunglasses At Night

July 13, 2011 by bb-pawprint

    Nowadays, if a trend isn’t completely ridiculous, it is most likely stupid. In my opinion, wearing sunglasses at night is a combination of both. For those who are unaware, sunglasses are made essentially to stop the rays emitted from the Sun from harming your eyes. The reason as to why people choose to wear them at night is beyond me. Recently, I’ve had a discussion with friends on what they thought of this trend, and many of them believe people do it to look cool. 
    After having this discussion, I took the liberty of doing intensive research on what would possibly make people think disregarding the purpose of an object and blatantly misusing it would be considered “cool”. While researching, I came to the not so surprising conclusion that this trend may have originated from celebrities. Despite this not being an absolute shocker, I’m sure you’re curious to know why. Well, at night when celebrities leave an event the flashes from cameras are enough to illuminate the night, and as a result, this is when their sunglasses come in handy. Interesting enough, is this still an excuse for an “ordinary” adult or teen to wear sunglasses where there is not a gleam of light aimed towards them? I’ll let you answer that on your own. However, my opinion remains unchanged.
