Nevermind the lack of content – right now, as PC World points out, you’d be lucky to get a choice of more than 2 or 3 television channels with 3D content, and movies? Well, they’re bundled up in exclusivity deals that means your choice of Avatar or Monsters vs. Aliens could be tied to which set you’ve decided to go with.

Cooler than disposables? You can now have designer 3D shades just to cover your face.

But forget that. Movie studios have jumped on board, probably happy that there’s one thing the internet can’t beat them at yet. The box office success of 3D films, combined with the difficulty of replicating the experience at home means that the whole multi-dimensional film craze isn’t likely to die down for a while.

Reports of fecal matter and bacteria found on the glasses given to moviegoers in theaters may have a few 3D enthusiasts considering an investment into their own pair of glasses. {Gothamist} And for designers, the consideration doesn’t come a moment too soon.

Oakley has a $150 pair coming just in time for Disney’s Tron Legacy, and Gucci and Armani Exchange have both announced plans to sell their own versions in time for the holiday season. Gucci’s ring in at $225, while Armani Exchange  is actually the bargain of the bunch at $58. {LA Times} While $58 doesn’t seem too high a price to pay for knowing exactly where your glasses have and haven’t been, are the others really worth the investment?

Designer 3D glasses from Look3D Eyewear

Say good-bye to those ugly paper things with blue and red lenses that fall off of your face: RealD has made its way through and onto the eyes of the youth permanently.

Yeah, that’s right. Just pop out the lenses and you’ve got yourself a cheap new trend.

We all know that the fake “nerd” glasses trend is nothing new. Just look at Kanye, or any current hip hop artist, really. But doing it yourself from the RealD 3D glasses you got last week at that movie you saw undeniably takes it to a whole new level of creativity.

Around ten million RealD glasses were used to see “Avatar” and “Alice in Wonderland,” which required 50,000 gallons of gas just to transport to theatres. {Treehugger} And though they are biodegradable, the question is, is it efficient?

Now the answer can be a big fat 3D yes. If people are actually using them post-movie viewing, that’s essentially another way of reusing or recycling the glasses. Way to be green, fashionistas!

Even people like men’s style writer David Hellqvist think the whole trend is absolutely ridiculous (along with all the people who join the tons of Facebook groups to show their sartorial objection), it’s helping people become more resourceful – a handy tool for those still grappling with the economy. And as we mentioned, it’s eco-friendly so there has to be some silver lining.

If you really think yourself above this new trend,get yourself a pair of designer 3D glasses before your next viewing of “Avatar” or “Up in 3D.” {Limelife} Look3D’s glasses (pictured above) offer a decidedly more stylish option. Regardless of how many hours you’re putting in with your favorite film, we’re sure those are glasses that won’t end up buried in an empty popcorn bag at the end of  the show.
