I was kind of looking for which ones went with your browline, and as Angie points out, they seem to cover your brows.

But I suspect I’m a more difficult fit than you, so to me it’s absolutely imperative to try them on in person. I do like the grey on you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2065237 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 18:01:16 +0000 Kate 2065237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #7 in black for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2065228 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 17:15:18 +0000 Becky 2065228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057517 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 16:25:08 +0000 Phoebe1 2057517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agreed with notsaf that it's hard to judge what the scale on your face would be, but then I read that you used some sort of system to get fit right? So IMO some of these are too small for your face. I also much prefer the brighter/darker colors on you--they play off your hair so nicely.</p> <p>#3--I don't love the heart shape, but that's probably more me than how they look on you!<br />#4--I like the pink but the frame looks small to me.<br />#5--these look a bit small and also safe, so not the look you are going for<br />#6--I really like the color and shape of both the black and the blue, but if this is an accurate portrayal, I think they might sit too high up on your face. Your eyes aren't centered.<br />#7--I like these in black--similar in shape to 6, but they look like they sit better on your face. Still, I think they should be just a tad bigger so your eyes are centered. The gray is a pretty color, but doesn't stand out from your hair.<br />#8--I think these fit you best. I like both colors. Obviously, the cherry is bolder.<br />#9-12--all too narrow for your face IMO<br />#13 sits too high on your face<br />#14 &amp; 15--also too narrow<br />#16--I like the shape of these on you, but am not sure the fit is right.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057497 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 15:26:45 +0000 Anonymous 2057497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>14 and 15 look the best fit to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057494 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 15:22:35 +0000 Liesbeth 2057494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer 6 and 16! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057464 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 14:22:09 +0000 Angie 2057464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black and light grey frames best as colours. None of the silhouettes are right though.

They have kept me in glasses since 2006. Also, I totally agree about 9 and 13.</p> <p>TheCat, I like those ones in 7, too. It's the first pair I chose for consideration. They're actually white, but the try-on does weird things with light colors, but white works with my hair too :-)</p> <p>So far, picture #8 is in the lead. I am not displeased </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057317 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 01:41:20 +0000 BrieN 2057317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am surprised by how much I liked the cherry ones </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057314 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 01:33:19 +0000 DonnaF 2057314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lot of these look like they are sitting too high or are a tiny bit too small. It is hard to tell if that would be true IRL. My favorite is #8 red/pink.</p> <p>#9 droops too low and #13 too high.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have you previously ordered from Zenni? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057312 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 01:18:32 +0000 nemosmom 2057312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cherry ones in #8!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057310 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 01:04:35 +0000 cindysmith 2057310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Notsaf, the try-on thingy actually went through several steps. The last step was to hold up a standard sized card against your forehead (it showed a credit card), so I held my purple discover card up (number side hidden) so that it could scale the glasses to my head so I got a reasonably accurate idea how they would fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057307 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 00:39:54 +0000 rachylou 2057307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>15, and on second look, 8 also.

Gorgeous with your hair! Could be a real signature look. At the same time very versatile.<br /> ● The blue in #10. Good colour for you, gives some contrast (if you prefer that) and "presence" without being overwhelming. Nice shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-new-glasses-2#post-2057299 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 23:41:24 +0000 cindysmith 2057299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You mean pic 4, Rachylou?

I need new glasses. My old ones are getting pretty scratched up, and this is different than when my shades get scratched up; because even scratched up, the shades still perform their required function, but my regular glasses do NOT perform so well when they're scratched up. So I'm in the market.</p> <p>I'm thinking of trying something different this time. I went through my phase in the 90s where I wore a lot of sexy schoolteacher type glasses (larger round lens browline type), and for the last 15 years or so I've favored slim rectangle frames. I think I want to go for something a bit quirkier or more dramatic this time. I'm kind of inspired by Iris Apfel, who has her trademark oversized glasses. Collages of the indomitable Iris for reference</p> <p>* I toyed with the idea of a red heart shaped frame, but I'm afraid I couldn't take myself seriously with those on<br /> * I rather like the pink ones, but do they look ok on me? I have a mental trauma around my mom telling my a fuschia sweater matched my hair too closely one time, so I can never tell if a pink is ok on me or not anymore LOL<br /> * the purple ones are nice, but I don't think they have enough presence to live up to what I want<br /> * I like the blue frame (sans tint) but I also don't mind the black version of it<br /> * I like the white version better but I ain't mad at the black one<br /> * I only kept the try-on of the red and the pink because the blue try-on just didn't come out well. I like all three versions of this frame, but the red seems to have the most presence<br /> * I like this one, but it's another one that probably doesn't have the presence I want.<br /> * next up, a blue frame. I wouldn't do it with a tinted lens, but I couldn't find a way to do a try-on without the tint<br /> * I really like this ivory one, but the try-on seems weirdly gold/green. Their try on kinda sucks for anything that's not a very bold, saturated color<br /> * I love these, but can't decide if I want to do something that delicate. They might be a good contender for shades if not as glasses?<br /> * if I'm going for quirk, these blue ones seem to have it in spade :-D<br /> * another delightfully quirky pair of blue ones<br /> * fun pink ones<br /> * kinda cool, can't decide if I like the black or white better. Neither is my most favorite, though</p> <p>I think we can probably discount the red heart shaped ones and the last ones in either color. However, I am open to convincing arguments in favor of either of them.</p> <p>All thoughts, suggestions, preferences, critiques, and advice is welcome and appreciated. Even though it's Zenni optical and therefore very very affordable, I'd still rather only have to do this once every year or two. I'm fortunate that my prescription hasn't changed in almost 25 years, except for the addition of the reading part, so if I can keep from damaging my glasses then they last me a good while.</p> <p>Thank you for your help!
