La Ped’s advice really resonates with me, especially if your DH dislikes #1 as opposed to preferring #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses/page/2#post-2290075 Sun, 06 Nov 2022 18:00:59 +0000 nemosmom 2290075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Late to this, but I like how the lighter tortie in #1 picks up the lightness in your hair.</div><div><br /></div><div>You really can't go wrong with either pair!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses/page/2#post-2289957 Sat, 05 Nov 2022 18:15:21 +0000 Sal 2289957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both so am no help!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses/page/2#post-2289955 Sat, 05 Nov 2022 18:03:41 +0000 LaPed 2289955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, and I think in the long run you won't be disappointed with either of them. I've ended up with two pairs for myself, one subtle and one more funky. If I could only keep one pair, it'd be the more subdued pair, but I get tons of compliments on the bolder ones. That's not really a verdict, is it? I also sometimes find it hard to wear things I like when I know DH and DS dislike a certain piece or like a different version better; just being aware of that makes me second-guess myself every time I put it on! So I'd say "go with your gut" but I know it's not always that simple.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses/page/2#post-2289939 Sat, 05 Nov 2022 15:32:42 +0000 Star (Lise) 2289939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a similar experience when shopping for specs last year.&nbsp; I liked a purple pair and DH liked a burgundy pair.&nbsp; Very subtle difference in the shapes.&nbsp; I got both.&nbsp; Now I prefer the burgundy pair too.&nbsp; I couldn't see the subtle but important difference he was seeing at the time.&nbsp; Both work for you but I think #2 will work better with your prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289849 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 22:44:33 +0000 Janet 2289849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is good, Jenn! I have a progressive prescription so I can see distances and close up, with my regular glasses and my sunglasses, so it gets pricey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289834 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 21:59:39 +0000 Jenn 2289834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I think you’re right, Janet, it does make sense to have more than one pair. Thankfully, I can get away with single-vision for sunglasses, so even though they’re prescription, they’re not quite as expensive as my everyday specs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289810 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 20:27:57 +0000 Suz 2289810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet raises a good point... :)&nbsp;</p> <p>And I agree -- #1 would look fab with those prints... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289807 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 20:09:21 +0000 Janet 2289807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I feel like they're both good, and that sometimes you'll want the quieter pair and other times the bolder ones. I know that's the case for me, and the reason I have more than one pair of sunglasses -- they're prescription so not cheap, but well worth it, IMHO because it also means I have a backup in case a pair gets broken or lost.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289799 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 19:04:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2289799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had that happen with metal readers, thought maybe “real” glasses would be better. Don’t do that to yourself! </p> <p>Will you keep your older, “quieter” glasses as backup? That’s one more reason to go for the pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289797 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 18:41:51 +0000 Jenn 2289797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa&nbsp;</b>and <b>Suz,&nbsp;</b>I get it now. &nbsp;That makes total sense. I think you're right that they won't work with some of my patterns. I think they'll be great with some of them (see below) but maybe too much with something like the orange kimono. I think those pieces are a small enough part of my wardrobe I'm willing to risk the clash.</p> <p>I've really been feeling MORE with eyewear recently--you wouldn't believe how many in-person compliments I get on my new, bold glasses. I appreciate all the thoughts and comments, and it's confirmed for me that this choice is more of a toss-up than maybe my family led me to believe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289789 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 17:36:24 +0000 Jonesy 2289789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jaime said! They both look good to my eye, so it's a matter of whether you prefer ALGO in your sunglasses right now, or something more subdued. I think they would both work for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289773 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 16:19:41 +0000 RobinF 2289773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1! They feel a little bit lighter to me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289675 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 03:33:35 +0000 Suz 2289675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Lisa said. I was thinking of them next to some of the boho prints and wondering if they'd compete. But note that what counts as "competition" or clash to one person counts as a fab pattern mix to another! I'm actually an eager pattern mixer, myself. So it isn't that...just a question, really.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289664 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 02:29:10 +0000 Jaime 2289664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see an argument for both really, and do think this one still picture is not enough for me to say more . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289634 Thu, 03 Nov 2022 23:42:20 +0000 LJP 2289634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too much with all of your black , but maybe out of sync with your printed kimono/ other pieces . Or am I imagining more print in your closet than there is ? I think a brown tortoise would be a little softer .. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289633 Thu, 03 Nov 2022 23:42:20 +0000 Carla 2289633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 -and I think they&nbsp;<i>would&nbsp;</i>work with your wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289630 Thu, 03 Nov 2022 23:32:04 +0000 Jenn 2289630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Stagiaire Fash,&nbsp;</b>I see where you're going with the gold frames, but I avoid metal-framed glasses because the nosepads get stuck in my hair when I push them on top of my head. &nbsp;Drives me crazy!</p> <p><b>LJP </b>and<b> Suz,&nbsp;</b>I'm curious about your thoughts on #1 and my wardrobe. Are you thinking the light accents in the tortoise might be too much with my black?</p> <p>I'll reveal that my friends and family all voted for #2 and my gut choice was #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-sunglasses#post-2289605 Thu, 03 Nov 2022 21:05:10 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2289605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the higher contrast look of the first.
