The difference between the two is fairly subtle.  But, I'd say the first.  It looks like it's a little more curved.  I'm not a fan of hard angles on glasses.

Anyone want to photoshop them onto a pic of me.. I really can't be bothered.

Sign pic for you if you do.

The rule is go the opposite shape of your face ie; rectangular glasses for round faces.

I intuitively like the second better, but I think the top one might look better on you.  Dunno.

There's actually a rule about it?  I never knew.  That might explain some of my poorer choices in frames over the years.  :D

I think the frame thickness might be a bit harsh on your face FM?

I don't think I could risk buying the wrong shape online, I'd have to try them on first.  Can't you go to a chemist and just try on the cheapie ones there to get a feel for what style would at least suit you best?

There is indeed.

Fashion has a lot to answer for too!

Indeed it does.  But I've never paid much attention to it before, so I shall stick with my original answer.

I think I like the rounder ones.

I like the rounder ones as well.
The fashion is for squarer frames but fashion sucks.

I agree, I think the rounder ones suit your face more.

I concur.  Kinda thought that might be how it worked.

Go with the rounder ones. The others make me think of emos.

you have such a beautiful face you would make either of the glasses look great.

I like wire frames better.

Post by: Egor on August 18, 2007, 08:11:04 PM
My attempt. The rounded pair look more whimsical, the square more serious I think.

I still like the rounded ones on you, FM.. And GA agrees with me. :)

Post by: Alex179 on August 19, 2007, 12:46:26 AM
I like the rounded ones better, but my frames are round.. so yeah.

I also like wire frames better, but that isn't really in style is it anymore?  Not like I would know.
Title: Re: What should I get
Post by: Calandale on August 19, 2007, 12:47:57 AM
Wire frames are ALWAYS in style.

Like white cotton pants.  :laugh:

I can't see any difference between the two pairs, maybe because i am not a faggot.

And if the world was full of dang nabbits it would be a happier place.
Us dang nabbits don't care about spectacle shapes, that is for sure.

I admit I didn't take long to buy mine.   Just bought the ones that were reasonably priced and that ended up being wired.  Spent more time deciding what to do with the lenses as far as bifocals or not and getting the lighter and thinner lenses despite my really high prescription.  I need to get new contacts probably as I tried the old ones a week ago or so and it seems that my right eye got worse (was -7), my left eye will always be a -12 lol.

If you have had glasses since you were 4 years old you would be used to buying new ones after a while.   That is just me though.

Been getting them since 7 (and I think that I'm older than you),
but I do so seldomly, so I'm not used to it. Indeed, I'm not even
used to buying food.  :-\

Post by: Alex179 on August 19, 2007, 11:20:36 PM
Buying food for me at the local grocery stores is a damn routine now.   I have them mapped out in my head as far the ones here.   I used to work at a Publix anyways when I was 16 to when I left for UCF at 18, very used to those stores and they are a big chain here.   That is where I met my first girlfriend, she was a cashier.

Glasses I just walk in there, do the exam and pick out some frames and buy the shit and leave.   I don't do it as regularly as I should maybe.  I am only 28 but I have lost and broken glasses several times anyways.  Had to get new ones, either that or go in to get my frames fixed which has happened a few times as well.

Whaen I was a kid I damaged a few pairs of glasses. Flushed them down the toilet, they fell off and I jumped on them while on the trampoline, etc.

I have had glasses since I was about three or four. I had to wear patches sometimes and they drove me crazy.
