Nobody wears a wheelchair just as an accessory even if it has Louis Vuitton monochromes in it.

I've had my current pair of glasses for almost two years and i'm finally looking for new ones. I want oversized ones, but I was trying them on at this one store, and the sales person was all like "Those are a fad. If you want a pair that will last more than 6 months, don't get those." And then she showed me all those rectangular ones that everyone wears. So now i'm in a dilemma.
I need glasses to see, but I don't want them to be like a burden to my appearance. I think glasses should add to your look or personality like any other piece of clothing or accessory. Oversized glasses I think look interesting, whereas 98% of the glasses-wearing population have rectangular glasses. Like Pinksatin said, wouldn't rectangular glasses be considered "in" too? So basically if you get oversized glasses you risk looking like a try-hard hipster and if you get rectangular ones then you risk looking like everyone else who is not a hipster.
P.S. Paul Smith and Oliver Peoples have great oversized designs that are still classy. But they're probably only worth getting if you really need glasses.
