I usually need medium to even large size frames. (Smaller head but broad/large face.)<div><br /></div><div><b>Suz</b>, such a good point bout the frames on! I might have to do the virtual try on?? Or get a couple pairs. Zenni is quite good about returns from what I've seen and heard. Even though it feels rather wasteful to order frames with lenses, only to return them. I am still waffling between cat eye and round shapes tbh. I do like cat eye, and yet... my face has so many angles, sometimes I feel a large, round shape is better. Juxtaposition...again.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-eyeglass-frame-help#post-2356626 Tue, 02 Apr 2024 01:29:23 +0000 Suz 2356626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jaime said! You look beautiful!&nbsp;</p> <p>But I need to see the frames on -- it is all about the fit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-eyeglass-frame-help#post-2356611 Tue, 02 Apr 2024 00:28:12 +0000 Anonymous 2356611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can wear the red pair , get it . &nbsp;I just knew when the eye glasses were right. I have a small face do shop in the children's area. &nbsp;There is more diversity in that area. At least in this area. I find that most adult eye glasses are black or dark grey. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-eyeglass-frame-help#post-2356255 Wed, 27 Mar 2024 20:38:55 +0000 Ket 2356255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone!

Love cat eye glasses! I vote moderate. Both the thick and thin tortoiseshell are a maybe, but hard to tell.</p> <p>I would stay away from the thick red ones. I was once on a plane boarding queue where a pair of thick electric blue glasses were wearing a lady. Not good.</p> <p>It looks like the shape would look great on you, but I am no expert on face shapes vs frame shapes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-eyeglass-frame-help#post-2356029 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 09:28:17 +0000 Jenni NZ 2356029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Star. I’m against the thick ones for you. Your face is so striking we want to notice it not the glasses. I lean towards the thin or moderate tortoiseshell? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-eyeglass-frame-help#post-2356027 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 08:05:11 +0000 Star (Lise) 2356027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote moderate.&nbsp; Thick may wear you IYKWIM - will notice the glasses more than your beautiful face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-eyeglass-frame-help#post-2356021 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 05:10:34 +0000 Zaeobi 2356021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm yeah it's tricky to know without trying it on. If you're going to upload a photo for a virtual try-on, make sure it's not a selfie (it distorts the face angles). The colours look great though, lol! </p> <p>When I had my personal style consultation, I was told that glasses are the one place where going slightly opposite is OK since it's on your face (I 'should' stick to round shapes in my clothing (suspected Romantic/ Soft Classic Kibbe Type), but slightly squared frames balance that out). </p> <p>The other thing to consider is your facial features:<br /> ~ You 'should' be able to pull off the cat eye look since you have curved &amp; arched brows (whereas mine are straight across, so it interferes).<br /> ~ Similarly I need thinner frames, because otherwise my features get overwhelmed by the thick hipster look, but I think you have enough 'presence' to pull off moderate widths (you're 5ft7+ tall right?)<br /> ~ I think your face shape is similar to mine in that it's slightly long too right? In that case, I find glasses that take up some vertical space to be more flattering, since I have a longer midface (middle portion of my face). Whereas people with proportionally bigger foreheads or chin areas may prefer 'wider' frames (that take up more room horizontally across the face). </p> <p>Hope that helps? I'm no expert myself though, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-eyeglass-frame-help#post-2356011 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 02:53:56 +0000 Jaime 2356011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't help without a try on, but you look gorgeous in your selfie! I am thinking cat eye and tortoise shell. Oh wait that is all your picks (I really wrote that without reading your post!) - ok so I say the moderate one to start. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-eyeglass-frame-help#post-2356008 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:57:18 +0000 Ket 2356008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would any of you care to help me?
