You are all so kind and honest at the same time - which is why i love this group. As you have all said - glasses are hard. But you’ve ask given me some good advice and measurements to get right - so I will do that and come back with better fitting pairs. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1/page/2#post-2218630 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 00:31:43 +0000 madeline 2218630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am partial to #9. But agree with Angie on the size of the others. You might want to try the website Zenni<br /> for virtual try-ons to get a sense of size </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1/page/2#post-2218626 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 00:02:30 +0000 Anonymous 2218626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to be honest here - I’m not loving any of them . If you’re looking for something with “wow” factor, it’s just not here . I know you don’t want kooky coloured glasses , but to me the black is too harsh . Pearly grey ? Silver ? Brushed silver ? Pale green even ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1/page/2#post-2218533 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:07:19 +0000 Anonymous 2218533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the size of 11 the most for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1/page/2#post-2218530 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:05:35 +0000 Erin 2218530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #8 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1/page/2#post-2218519 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 17:40:07 +0000 Angie 2218519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Roxanna</b>, I don't think any of the shapes work because your brows are <i>inside</i> the frames. Too big. Brows need to be <i>outside/above the frames,</i> or covered by the frames. Maybe you've pushed the frames up too high on the bridge of you nose? Pulling them down a bit can help. The bridge fit is off, though. Not sure. Let me know what you think.</p> <p>#7 is best from an eyebrow POV, but not the ones.</p> <p>Ombre in #3 is BEAUTIFUL on you! Let's get the shape right. Oversized is fab, but work with your strong brow line :)</p> <p>KILLER hair and hoop earrings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1/page/2#post-2218484 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 15:27:06 +0000 cat2 2218484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 8 and 9 fit you best. I would look at their measurements to see what the bridge and frame width measurements should be as you move forward with picking a pair, and then do another round of shopping if you don’t like 8 or 9. Don’t buy something fun that doesn’t fit properly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1/page/2#post-2218456 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 13:19:05 +0000 lyn67 2218456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2, 8&amp; 9.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218411 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 09:55:53 +0000 Preppy Pear 2218411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2,3 and 9! You look beautiful! We are giving you all conflicting feedback, lol.</p> <p>Love the oversized vibe on you! I think that a bold pair of glasses can sometimes look either arty/eclectic or luxe/statement - it depends on the rest of your style. FWIW, I do think you can go “bolder” and stay true to your style. Glasses are hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218401 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 06:35:02 +0000 Bijou 2218401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8 are my favourite. The black and silver colour scheme is beautiful with your hair. I would like to see you try a grey / black tone tortiseshell - I know Chanel have this colour in frames and think it would be stunning on you (alas also expensive). Hopefully there are some other brands who have this colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218399 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 06:17:09 +0000 Star (Lise) 2218399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Rachylou. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218391 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 05:24:31 +0000 rachylou 2218391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really really like the rounder frames on you (6-10). I like the way they let us see your cheekbones—excellent bone structure, btw, lol. The metal bridge pair are my least favourite of those, however. Too 90s industrial for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218388 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 04:43:04 +0000 LAR101 2218388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in #8.<br /> It’s a clear winner for me.<br /> Love the disappearing metal bridge.<br /> Love the black.<br /> Love how it follows your eyebrows. </p> <p>I think Angie said that generally glasses look best if the frames either follow the eyebrows or are below, with eyebrows above. I hope I haven’t got that backwards. If, as Jonesy says, the bridge hits too high that would lift the frames above the eyebrows. You might possibly do better with glasses with adjustable nose pads as opposed to the molded frames. </p> <p>Good luck.<br /> I do like many of your choices<br /> but #8 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218373 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 02:41:32 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2218373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl, how old are you and why do you not have even one wrinkle? With regard to the glasses, most of them seem to not be sitting in quite the right spot. I’d also go with a lighter shade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218370 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 02:22:43 +0000 Jonesy 2218370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glasses are tough! One thing I am noticing is that the fit of the bridge is off in all of these--it's sitting near the height of your eyebrows, instead of between your eyes where it's supposed to be. So I think these bridges are too narrow (i.e., so the glasses can't rest properly on the bridge of your nose in the right spot)? Given that major caveat, I think the rounded frames and cat eyes look the best in terms of complementing your facial shape and features. An oversized cat eye would be very elegant on you, I think!&nbsp;But wait for Angie's take, since she is such a glasses fit expert.</p> <p>I wear glasses full-time now and have a tricky time with the bridge fit, because I have a bump on my nose, so I can commiserate :).&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218362 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 01:40:16 +0000 Janet 2218362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m looking at these again, and I’m not loving any of them for your goals. I like the rounded shapes better — 7 appeals to me, while the first two seem too angular and square. Also, I like the black colors better than the tortoiseshell. But I wonder have you tried a bold but clear frame? I’d be curious to see that on you. Glasses are hard! I say keep looking… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218356 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 01:13:09 +0000 CarolS 2218356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is kind of cool seventies, and I find it interesting. I also really like the shape of #9 on you. It "lifts" your face somehow. Does it come in colours at all? That might give it that extra spark you are looking for. </p> <p></p> <p>HAHA -- ETA I just went back and read Suz's comment about "lift"! We are on to something... :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218354 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 01:08:12 +0000 Carla 2218354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see you’ve added more photos since I commented! &nbsp;#9 are my favourites of the bunch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218352 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 01:04:08 +0000 Sloper 2218352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>8 and 9 (especially 9) are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218349 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 00:59:00 +0000 Jaime 2218349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made me smile in appreciation for your desire to look statementy but not arty creative (no colored beads too right? but I like colored beads!). Anyway, I think I understand . I am thinking #9, possibly in a more earth tone shade if possible. Although there is something amazingly cool about #3. I think it will help a lot to narrow it down and take more angles of the lead contenders.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218347 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 00:53:21 +0000 bj1111 2218347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of these seem to match the sophistication and luxe-ness of your outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218341 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 00:31:14 +0000 Irina 2218341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #7, they look modern but in a subtle way, imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218318 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 21:55:39 +0000 Janet 2218318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of these seem too big and too square.

I don't know what you mean by "boring". None of these looks boring to me. What about going lighter in color? If not a color per se, what about doing gray, silver or gold? I want to like the first two pairs, because I think I get what you are going for. But they are juuuust so.. almost but not quite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218306 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 21:00:30 +0000 Anonymous 2218306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m still recovering from “ Costco glasses” .

I know you want large-- and that's cool. But you also want a fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you know your bridge measurement, the width of the frame, the arm length on all of these? Which one fits the best (as in most securely)? What are its measurements?&nbsp;</p> <p>Having said all that -- my favourite of these are 9 and 7. I have an admitted weakness for a cat's eye but I do like the "lift" that 9 seems to give to your face, and the way the shape echoes your brow line. They might be a bit too wide, but that might not be the case -- sometimes wider is better, I know.&nbsp;</p> <p>#7 also follows your brow line nicely (apparently) and your eyes seem fairly centred. That is what you are looking for. Centred eyes, a secure fit, a nice echo of your brow line, a bit of "lift" if you can get it.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218300 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 20:44:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 2218300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like pic 7- these black ones are rounder and seem to follow the shape of your eyebrows fantastically. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glasses-help-please-1#post-2218298 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 20:37:33 +0000 Anonymous 2218298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these might look too big rather than oversized, the fit and they way they harmonize with your face could be improved. You might want to go somewhere else to shop. If these were recommended by the sales assistant, did they do any measuring?</p> <p> </p>
