Personally i prefer the bigger pair.....but even those look to small to me. That's just my preference though. I think the trend is away from small square frames and to bigger 60's style frames. i think you could wear a slight bigger frame size and look ok. What about these http://www.contactsandspecs.com/salt...lie-10887.aspx or http://www.contactsandspecs.com/salt...lie-11135.aspx

^Another thing I have to think about is also the length of the leg, all of my glasses have a length of 140, the bigger ones are 145. Wondering if they can adjust that, i just don't want it to be too long and sit wierd.

I think you have to try lots of pairs on and hold them and move them around on your face --do they fell comfortable- do they fit good...?

Do they sit nicely?
Suit your face?
Fell comfortable on your nose?
etc...

Negative. My asian nose can't hack it. My size is 17 for the nose peice. Those are 20 which would not be sitting on my face correctly most likely. The OP are 17 which I think sit pretty good. No large gaps.

searched multiple threads already but does anyone have fit pics of moscot hyman? based on the measurement eye length/nose ridge/temple length it should be a perfect fit but it doesnt say in their site about the width of the lenses vertically.

I'm in the market for some new frames. Looking for a plastic/acetate frame, rectangular (but kind of a smallish rect), and something where the frame isn't too thick. But I have a really wide face. I need at least 52, have tried some 53's that were still small. I really like the OP Shaw (esp in storm color) with the thinness, but I don't think that'd be big enough. I also like the OP Denison and love the Salt Paxton in London Fog. I'm gonna try calling around local stores tomorrow to see if any of these models are in stock to try on in person. But any other suggestions for similar stuff? I've tried Warby Parker's largest frames and they were all small :-\\

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've been considering getting some oversized "nerd glasses" like this pair:

Aside from dressing up like urkel on halloween with suspenders and high waters, can I actually incorporate such glasses into a stylish albeit quirky outfit on any of the other 364 days out of the year?

Dita LEVER in grey swirl...

they look dark but have a kind of blue grey colour....in the store they thought they went well with my blue eyes.

The main thing is i like them and i am comfortable in them.
46 and my first pair.

Great fit! I was looking at the same pair. Still in decision mode though.

Hi,

I'm looking for new eyeglasses.

I'd like something that combines classicism with a touch of originality.
Maybe a vintage shape ? For example, I was thinking about the Paul Smith Morse and Oliver Peoples O'Riley or Sheldrake.

My - not so easy - face :

Any advice is welcome!

lÃ

lÃ

PS : My prescription allows me any shape.
However, I often have to look up and down in my job. Thus, I'd like to avoid "low" frames.
Moreover, I have a pretty ******** that requires a pretty large bridge (generally between 18 and 21mm, depending on the shape). For example, I feel uncomfortable with Ray-Ban's New Wayfarer (18mm).

PS2 : Don't attention to the shirt. (Usually, I don't wear shirt with differentiate collar color...)

What do you mean when you say customer service issues? Thanks for letting me know they're legit though.

sho'nuff · Feb 8, 2011

the times i tried to contact them or call them they never responded. also it will take a lot of time for you to actually get the glasses, as in my case, a pair of op

how long? i'm not in a huge rush or anything but i still get antsy.

Can anyone give me some feedback on frames? I have terrible status quo bias so if it's up to me, I'd never change anything... Compound that with the fact my current frames are probably too small for my head and the cognitive dissonance is too much for me.

Frames are Mykita Leonard. I'd go with the darker version that's in pics 1 and 2 (a very dark turtleshell). I got a pretty short hair cut between the 1/2 and 3 which is throwing off my judgement yet more.

Looking for a pair of sunglasses that I took to be Ray Ban Clubmasters. They appeared in a Details spread a few months back, and were listed as Ray Bans. To me they looked just like Clubmasters but with a more squared-off bottom frame. I searched the Ray Ban site and couldn't find a pair that matched. Do they not make them anymore? Are there any other frames that fit this description?
