* '''Long analysis:'''
analysis:''' The trope is full of chairs-y examples that are just, "trait + appearance item", with barely any connection between the two, meaning you can replace the trait and the item with anything and they'd make the same "trope"/meaning. Many of the examples have partial/zero context examples or are vague potholes. The rest misuse the trope for gushing about the glasses or how cool the badass character, or objectively describe how awesome the glasses are, not the wearer. There seems to be no way to salvage this trope.\\\
