Friday Challenge 4/9/21: Eyewear!

[d4nimal]

This Friday’s challenge is something that’s been especially on my mind (and face) recently: eyewear!

I recently wrote a post on my blog about how I believe the right frames can elevate personal style and, in my opinion, there aren’t many things that have the potential to change one’s look as dramatically as a pair of glasses/sunglasses.

Normally full fits are encouraged, but since eyewear takes a smaller portion of your personal real estate, I think portraits are okay as well, though ideally there are other elements of your outfit in view. Let’s see some of your favorite frames on you, be they sunglasses or opticals. I think it's completely okay if you only have one pair you've shown on the site before - the challenge isn't so much about having the most amount or most outrageous eyewear as much as it is about having frames that compliment and enhance your own style/personality.

Pictures must be not previously posted and taken from this year. Let's do 2 weeks - ending April 22.

Cool idea, sad to see that Dieworkwear's double-eyelid surgery didn't work very well...
I am inspired by 70sHasselhoff picture, but at first glance i thought it was Hutch (David Soul) ?

Like they say in Japan : « pikapika »!

Definitely need sunglasses too to look at this outfit !

My vintage Cazals -- I removed the old heavy green glass lenses and went for gold flash ones in the requisite tri-focal progressive we 65 years-olds need.....!

My oldest pair from Theo... the purple "Butterfly" frame:
