Wayfarers are hip....
...but the thing about wayfarers is that everyone understands this to be the case, but no one seems to mind. There has been no backlash against wayfarers despite their saturation. At this point, people wear wayfarers in spite of the fact that they are a cliche, right? Folks are just glad to have something classic and unassailable on their face.
Am I giving people too much credit? Maybe wearing wayfarers is attractive solely because they are on trend and no one has yet come up with a safer alternative (sorry Kanye shades). Wayfarers seem to be going the way of Chuck Taylors; just the right mix of ubiquitous social subgroup indicator and classic to coast along as an old safey for years to come.

why are gladiator sandals "bad trendy" and wayfarers "good trendy"? Is it because gladiator sandals look stupid and wayfarers look good? Is this only relevant to mofos in nyc?
