If you're so insecure about wearing a certain color, perhaps you should have your man card revoked?Sorry guys, purple is for king's robes and hazy acid trips, not for a man's eyes. Orange is sophomoric and violet gives off a fruity vibe; they're two lens hues I won't be seen wearing.
Seriously, it's a fu**ing color! If you like it who cares? I wear Violet and wouldn't think less of anyone wearing the same color or even pink, yellow or any other color.
If anyone lets their friends dictate what they wear maybe you should get new friends or for once get what you want.
