I'm a female... I wear these on days I decide to wear glasses
If a man can pull off white plastic frames, I usually am very impressed. Haven't seen someone where them for a while.

are almost identical to OP in shape last 2 pairs of glasses i bought from the shop, after picking alizee lenses, AR coating, etc etc, each made me 250-300$ LIGHTER in the wallet. this is AFTER insurance deductions. Polo and Versace. they all fit loose, and the versace actually broke on me. in came zenni. for 14$ shipped i got the above pair. no options selected whatsoever but the lenses were just as thin, the entire assembly just as light, and the actual optics quality i put at 97% of the crizal alize glass. and i started getting tons of compliments on the glasses which i previously never received. after that i bought a few more pairs from Zenni, some chunkier, some lightweight frameless one for all day comfort, half-frames, etc etc. they all fit well and are comfortable not buying into the retail designer eyeglass scam again.

Are you saying it's not worth it to go for Oliver Peoples frames, etc? Or just designer brands such as Versace?

I don't know about how much Oliver Peoples glasses are. But I know that I'm not going to throw away another 300$ to find out.

Thank you. Wish I had seen this thread a week ago. But at that price, might as well pick up another pair to switch out for fun.

I wear these:

Most people like them, but I have also heard them described as "shop teacher" glasses.
