Cool Shades (but we are indoors)

I get it. You want attention. But just because Miyavi wears shades indoors at award shows and PSY has taught everyone from Britney to UN secretary general Ban Ki-Moon how to 'Gangnam style' it up while wearing designer sunglasses, doesn't make it all right for you to wear sun cheaters indoors or at night. Definitely not indoors and at night. Not even remotely at night.

Musicians have this unspoken creative license to wear whatever they want, whenever they want. They are artistes after all, and by definition, a few raisins short of a fruit loaf. So unless you have the boisterous swag of Freddie Mercury (self test : can you pull off a chequered unitard and look like a legend?) or are in fact a direct progeny of Elvis, don't even think about wearing mirrored aviators indoors. 

Sunglasses, lest we forget were created to protect our eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation and interestingly, were also prescribed to people with syphilis in the early 20th century because of their sensitivity to light. In both cases, protection from sun, during the day (just in case you missed my point). However, after years of being worn by musicians and celebrities alike to hide their identity or conceal blood-shot eyes, sunglasses have become COOL.

This is different from looking 'hot'. Cool is aloof, detached, closely associated with a breezy attitude and accompanied with loads of SWAGGER. Hot, on the other hand, is sexually-charged, visual and sets pulses racing: but like fireworks, it's explosiveness is usually fleeting. Shades in themselves can look hot, but are increasingly worn to make the wearer appear cool in a devil-may-care sort of way. (laugh)

And by the way, not all sunglasses are created equal, in case you haven't noticed. Protective qualities aside, the type of shades you should wear says alot about your personal style. But even the best pair worn without attitude would be worse than wearing none at all.

Only a handful of men in the world can get away with wearing shades after dark, and chances are, you're not one of them. Worst justification I've heard from a man donning shades at night? 'My future's so bright I have to wear shades'. You've got to be kidding me man. (laugh out loud)

Gotta admit it, I look good with sun cheater despite indoor or outdoor~ Hahaha..
