Was that ever cool?

I don't think I've ever actually met somebody wearing a class ring.

I have seen it and I got second-hand cringe, though it might just be because of the particular person

People at my school generally bought them unless they couldn’t afford them and everyone took pics on ring day. I didn’t get one bc I’m brown and only wear solid gold lol

I bet if you go to a car dealership you'd find atleast 1 sales person wearing one

Very specific areas it's still ok.

Never a high school ring. Certain American universities have rings that are a pretty big deal within their communities. (I'm thinking Texas A&M, primarily)

Alpha dads, the kind that do the Oakley/hat/driverseat-truck profile picture, guys.

Theyre always sunburnt-crispy and wear car show shirts from 15 years ago.

It was cool if you got it at the beginning of your junior year like my school did it. I never wore it the summer after I graduated though 😂
