However, on my current pair, the bridge is too narrow, and pinches my nose. Because they're hard plastic frames, this isn't adjustable (and therefore I rarely wear them - they're painful after a while). &nbsp;I chose to limit my options to ones with the silicone nose pads because I know they are adjustable. &nbsp;</p> <p>However, I could measure the bridge of the specs, and see if I can find ones that will be wide enough without needing to be adjustable. &nbsp;I'll try it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1361043 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 03:14:37 +0000 Angie 1361043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best from this selection, Amy. The dark red is brilliant on you. Not sure nose pads are the way to go though. Have you tried specs without them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1361026 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 02:54:40 +0000 sparlingo 1361026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is for #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1361022 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 02:46:08 +0000 jackiec 1361022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've missed a bunch of this, and am terrible with glasses &amp; fit (you'd laugh at mine), but I just wanted to say that I really love the first red ones on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360997 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 02:21:49 +0000 Jaime 1360997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not good at glasses picking by the picture, but like Suz I am going to tentatively go for the ones in the last two pictures you added. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360988 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 01:57:43 +0000 amiable 1360988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, thank you - the glare on the lenses is really bothering me too. &nbsp;On some frames it's not there, and on others, it's much worse than these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360980 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 01:38:31 +0000 Suz 1360980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I am finding it really hard to determine due to the reflection on the lenses themselves. I <b>think</b> I like the last pair you show (second set of photos) but I'm not very confident in this choice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360903 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 23:48:50 +0000 frannieb 1360903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-3 are more rectangular then oval and I prefer that shape on your face. 4-5 are ovalish. i think the dark red or blue are my favorites of those 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360713 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 19:20:49 +0000 missvee 1360713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 or 3 from the first grouping shown. I think either the dark red or the blue would be great colours for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360711 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 19:18:48 +0000 amiable 1360711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea Marley - thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360702 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 19:07:12 +0000 amiable 1360702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's an even wider option that I think is also okay &nbsp;- available in brown or black. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360701 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 19:06:11 +0000 Marley 1360701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Amy - I looked at your initial thread about your glasses and had absolutely NO idea! &nbsp;I really don't know how to figure out or what to look for when it comes to deciding on lens shape, color, etc.! &nbsp;How about you title this thread an "Ask Angie"? &nbsp;That way she will for sure chime in and get you sorted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360630 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 17:11:20 +0000 amiable 1360630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenava! &nbsp;Do they look wide enough to you? &nbsp;They are 1 mm narrower than my current pair, which I like the fit of - but the selection at the wider width was quite a bit narrower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360606 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:37:49 +0000 Jenava 1360606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that red on you!&nbsp; It's dark enough that it almost reads as neutral.&nbsp; Of the other two, I prefer the blue, as I don't love the temple detail of pair #2.&nbsp; I find it a tad distracting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-glasses-part-2#post-1360599 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:24:02 +0000 amiable 1360599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your help and feedback last weekend. &nbsp;After reading and measuring some more, and taking lots more pictures, I've eliminated most of the possibilities that I originally showed you.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm currently favoring these three. &nbsp;They are wide enough (I think), not too deep (I think), oval shaped and half-rimmed, and not too heavy. &nbsp;They all have adjustable nose pads&nbsp;for my overly-wide bridge.</p> <p>#1 is dark red<br />#2 is shown in purple, but I think I'd order the blue version - their photo of the blue just had a lot of white and made it look weird<br />#3 is blue</p> <p>What are your thoughts? &nbsp;What am I missing? &nbsp;Is there a clear winner or loser?</p> <p>ETA: Found a wider set in brown and black (#4-5). &nbsp;They're a bit heavier than the others, but probably not un-doable. &nbsp;Everything wider than this and also oval half-rimmed&nbsp;is wire frame.</p>
