Intersting but professional looking prescription glasses

[Flambeur]

First of, let me state - I am aware there are some glasses threads in SW. But that's for hipsters and douches, so lets leave it at that.

Anyway, I am looking for some nice, dependable, professional-looking frames. Something that's a bit interesting, but nothing outlandish or flashy.

I have an oval face and a shaved head. I am thinking maybe black plastic frames, squarish, but not too thick/big.

Suggestions for brands, websites, & particular models?

I find myself privy to Robert Marc, though your best bet is to head to your local shop and start looking around.

I literally know nothing about eyeglasses by the way, have been wearing lenses forever and want to mix it up/gives my eyes a rest.

Hmm.. Something like RM163/164 looks close to what I am thinking..

You guys gotta have some idea...

I just purchased some rectangular crystal clear lenses. I like that they don't make much of a statement yet stile have an attractive shape.

Pics? Links?

I guess I am thinking something like this, maybe edgier?

Ugh, I really dislike it when there is a prominent logo on them. Do Persol ones look a little more subdued?

IMO those are both bordering on the hipster type glasses.

Those are interesting glasses, but I would agree, a little on the hipster side. Whether they would look professional or not would depend 1) on your profession and 2) what else you wear with them.

I've got a pair of ic! berlin glasses. They're chrome, but you can get the metal in copper, black, or gunmetal.

Hmmm... Too hipster for let's say business casual with brooks brother and stuff? I mean if lets say the rest of my outfit is pretty conservative?

What would be the next step down? I like the dark plastic and don't think I want metal.. Maybe something skinnier?

Ideal would be thin-ish (maybe slightly thinner than I posted) dark plastic, pretty straight and rectangular, and as little of a logo as possible...

I'll second the IC! Berlin recommendation! I wear the Heringsdorf in black and I really like them (I may pick up a pair in silver). I also like the Oliver Peoples Advocate in brown for when I want to mix it up a bit. But both of these are metal, I just saw your last post.

My wife has a pair of these and they are some of the best made glasses I've seen. They are a bit spendy though.
