Plano Glasses

(n) Fake glasses. Non-prescription eye-glasses worn by pretentious hipsters and other douche-bags for "fashion" or "vanity" purposes to look more intelligent, sophisticated or cultured than they really are.

An example of recession chic. Mouth-breathing fashion models or unintelligent people in general wear faux glasses to affect having read lots of books or having some modicum of smarts. Dead give-away that someone is an idiot.
They're fucking plano glasses dude - she's trying to pretend she's not actually a pretentious trust-funder with a silver spoon in her mouth.

A theory first conceived of by economist Thorstein Veblen in 1899 in his treatise The Theory of the Leisure Class, Veblen further details how working class people try to emulate the Leisure Class and idolize them to their own detriment.
Moab, Park City, Aspen and Vail have become infested with leisure class parasites who want to reform small towns into the image of whatever wealthy "progressive" communities they fled from.
