How do these glasses fit/look me?

[ekcivichb]

They are Tod's model 5001. Hard to tell on the picture, but they are two tone tortoise and then fade to dark brown.


Thanks.

They're too wide for your face, IMO.

+1, they have that appearance because they're a little bit too shallow for your face, something closer to a Wayfarer shape would be more suitable for you in my opinion.

I think they are 1/4" too wide for you, and the colour is being drained from your face, they're too dark- get something in a mid brown, your hair colour should dictate the glasses colour here- get something lighter

I can see the shape working on you in the right colour/size- but maybe try a wayfarer, try loads of things, you never know how it's going to look until it's on your face

I don't think they are too wide. I just think the shape isn't great for you. +1 on the wayfarer suggestion.

k so i had a quick go in photoshop (the orginal image is top right) top left is a smaller frame in the same shape, slightly lighter in colour bottom left is standard tortoiseshell wayfarer, bottom right is half framed wayfarers

I'm no expert but I would keep looking. You may want to look at some Oakley Ratchets.They come in several colors and I bet would look good on you. Couple different seizes as well.

Top left looks the best of the group.

Thanks for the PS...i agree they are a tad to big..and it is REALLLLLY bugging me...

i just got them 2 days ago....from a small shop

you think they will return them? exchange them??? i am willing to pay for the new glass...

what are the usual return policies for stores?

 

[Loathing]

normally they don't accept returns if you have had the glass changed
however, the frames might still valuable and resell-able: I sold a spare pair of Oliver Peoples O' Malleys for much more than I bought them in Harvey Nichols.
