As you know, I had posted these frames for sale on the FS section earlier today. Feeling sentimental, I decided to have my girlfrend try them on.. and here are the results (see below) I honestly don't think I should be selling these, as she looks great with them. However, she would like to hear from a more "discerning and knowledgeable" crowd. Your opinions, SF, sil vous plait.

She looks great. However, that's completely irrelevant to with whether they work on your face. If they do, then I would sell and buy the $20 knockoff that's made exactly the same way with the same materials. If they don't, then look for a new frame shape.

I should point out that due to a slight mistake in my OP I had miscommunicated my question. I had intended: do these frames look good on her? If so then I don't plan to sell them anymore.

I own/wear those frames and they're quite large. I've not seen a knock off horned rimmed/wayfarer style glasses sized that same way. However, it should be said I haven't looked either. I have a round full face myself and I think they look good on your girlfriend for that reason. I think you should take down the sale and regift them to her (assuming she actually wears glasses).

I think they are too large for her and is not sitting too well on her nose. A bridge size of 20 is abit too much. The bottom of the rim seems to touch the cheeks. While large lenses are in vogue, they may be too thick or heavy for some people's liking.

The style is quite suitable, but maybe you have to ask her how well she thinks it fits (comfort-wise).

too big for her face, IMO. Now give them to me.

I think your girlfriend looks good wearing it. More importantly, she feels she looks good in it.
