The last pair make you look a bit slimmer in the face. The rest leave your cheeks looking a bit puffy. Is that an OPSM store? They all look the same.

Thank you for all the comments! Really appreciate it! Very nice people on this forum.

I really like #5 (Burr2) as well, but I don't think I'm brave enough to wear them. I've noticed Phat Guido sporting a similar pair and saw Alec Baldwin whip out a pair on 30 Rock recently. Voting tally has #1 (Burr1) the winner over #4 (Polo). Definitely a close race and I would like to get both of them. Might get #1 for a start then maybe #4 down the track. I also appreciate the suggestion to check out tortoise shell colour. I'll have a look at some before I make the final purchase.

If you like the Tortoise shell look, why not consider a classic...Anglo-American's model #406? Of those referenced in the OP, I favor the Burberry #1.

I would deffinatley go with the first two. The others look a bit geeky with the large frames.

Get a new haircut, please.

I like the Polos but they're a little bit more "in your face" than the earlier ones.

You do have a similar face shape to his. Being an actor, he likely pays a stylist to select such accessories. The left pic of him is similar to your #4 and the right pic is somewhere between your #4 and #5. I think it lends credence to those (including me) who ranked those two highest.

Care to suggest an alternative style? I've had this haircut for the last 10 years!

I voted #1 but look at Persols instead. My new ones are great.
