Absolutely the last one. Your face has different expression in them. Definitely look more studied and distinguished in Burr2. The rest of them especially top row are this minute trendy frames that make anyone look like they just graduated from college.Originally Posted by dkzzzz
I agree with this. I think that pic indicates that you may like these more than the others without necessarily knowing it.
2 and 3 are out.Originally Posted by Kaplan
1 and 5 are the best, but different looks - maybe get 1 for work and 5 for fun?
4 is kind of a mix between 1 and 5, but not as good as either of them.
All IMO, of course.
1 and 2 are essentially the same. 2 is too wide.
3 and 4 are essentially the same. I prefer 4 because it is more rounded. 3 is a bit boxy and your face is a bit angular as it is.

Assuming you mean which glasses look best on you I would have to go with the Burberry of the Ted Baker, with the RLs coming in third. With the other two, and to a lesser extent the laurens the heavy dark frame is too strong for your face's colouring and kind of dominate it, making them rather than you the centre of attention, IMO.Originally Posted by youngscientist
I wear glasses and have the same problem, I went hunting for some dark framed ones like those recently but ended up getting a lighter coloured tortoiseshell because they didn't work with my colouring (which is not dissimilar to yours).
I think YS may be on to something. I have similar coloration and have never done well with dark frames. I'd consider looking at the same frames in tortoise. Have you considered any of the frameless models?
In summary, 1, 4, and 5 are all good; I think the fifth pair is the most stylish and looks best on you; but I might look around some more.

#1 or #2 for any sort of business/work environment. #1 probably fits your face the best.
I think #5 is a little too heavy, also the corners seem quite high+pointed.
Maybe something like #3 in tourtoise or dark brown?
personally, my first instinct was that you should definately have a rimless/frameless pair as a main, then #1 as a second office/work pair.
Third should be your fun/crazy pair. something that makes you feel different...

Perhaps you should try some frames not so much darker than your hair color.Originally Posted by bluemagic
Then they'll blend. I think a little contrast will make them look more purposeful and less apologetic.
