Can smart glasses ever truly be cool? If you've been paying attention to Snap Inc's tribulations in the market over the years, the answer to that question is a resounding "hell no!" Now though, the camera company™ might be on to something, having teased a new pair that are not entirely awful.
It was back in 2017 when Snap debuted Spectacles in the form of an unnervingly "funky," flimsy-looking pair that one might expect to find gathering dust in the bargain bin at Urban Outfitters. Speaking from a pure style vantage point, the follow-ups haven't been much better. Admittedly, I've always found it difficult to appraise products like smart glasses when they're at the infant development stage, finding the weirdness of a grown man wearing them on the street for no real reason at odds with any of the progressive technology contained within. But hey, people thought mobile phones were but mere yuppy toys back in '90s.
