If anything, high fashion is extremely goofy. Have you seen the stuff those people wear?

Get used to it. You'll be wearing a muted version of it soon.

What is considered “normal” clothes today was probably considered “goofy” by many/most at some point.

Modern men’s clothing often originated as work clothing (e.g. jeans) or military clothing (e.g. chinos), or something with practical use (ties stopped you spilling food on your shirt).

>ties stopped you spilling food on your shirt

Uh?? Given the size of normal ties, their "use" as a protection for a shirt is dubious!

>... and says a lot about the audience here that you're all oblivious to this fact.

What does it say beyond, "This person doesn't pay attention to high fashion", and why does it feel like you're judging people for that? Who cares if people aren't into it? To my mind, your comment says a lot more about you than what ignorance to high fashion says about others.

It's obviously fine not to be into fashion, but if you're not, you shouldn't go around making judgment calls or confidently and incorrectly saying people wouldn't wear something for fashion reasons. It’s revealing in the sense that it shows how narrow-minded we can be, judging everything based on our own perspective and assuming it applies to everyone.

All OP said was that they found them goofy looking. Whether or not you're into high fashion doesn't change the fact that taste is entirely subjective and everyone who finds them too thick, or goofy looking, is more than welcome to that opinion. Doesn't make them out of touch or narrow minded at all.

And please, look at all of Meta's own comments on the size of this prototype - it's obvious that the size isn't because it's "in" in high fashion, but because that's the smallest they could reasonably get it.

Wow, that's quite some chip on your shoulder. You're managing to project things on to my post that I didn't say, at all.

Literally all I said was I thought they were large and goofy looking. I didn't say anything about people wearing, or not wearing them, or anything about whether they were fashionable or not. You've taken my post, read things I didn't say, made up stuff, and then judged me for it.

There's a reason they call it high fashion and not just fashion. But granted, maybe theres some billionaire bubble that's in on the joke and loves the look of this.

lol. These glasses aren’t “high fashion”. But it’s funny to see you look down your nose at people to try and convince them they are.

I dunno, I think to want to wear these you'd have to be high

Are they? College students stopped wearing those like 3-5 years ago.
