I agree that the overall effect is quieter &amp; more classic, but I also feel that suits your colouring more (the bold pattern on #2 isn't a bad thing per se, but I find myself focusing on the black/ dark brown in that print more since your natural colouring is more on the light side). I suppose it also depends on whether you want something you can more easily match to your clothing (I suppose black would be easier, although less subdued, if you like to wear a lot of statement pieces other than your glasses) or whether you're not so bothered because they're reading glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2158257 Tue, 08 Dec 2020 04:30:42 +0000 Nitsirk 2158257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The kind feedback makes me smile.

The big bit of white on the bottom is throwing me. Definitely worth it to see if you can find same with a different pattern placement, cause the colors are great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2158131 Mon, 07 Dec 2020 14:43:55 +0000 Nitsirk 2158131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy, Gigi, Jaileen and Lyn! They are a Tiffany (#1) and a Prada Pair (#2). I was wondering if perhaps there may be another pair without such a pattern disparity inherent. Worth checking! Everyone’s support has bern outstanding!!! Thank you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2158111 Mon, 07 Dec 2020 13:13:34 +0000 lyn67 2158111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like&nbsp; #2 -trendy, great contrast with your face/hair, and with a bit of color matching your eyes-perfect! - however like Carla (and&nbsp;I so hate when this happens for me, too)&nbsp;&nbsp;the disparity in the distribution of the pattern throws me off...could they order you another pair of the same?&nbsp;</p> <p>&amp;Can you give us a link, or brand name? Love them!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2158059 Mon, 07 Dec 2020 00:05:52 +0000 Gigi 2158059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer pic 2 because I think they're more interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2158046 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 21:21:12 +0000 JAileen 2158046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look good on you. &nbsp;I like both, but maybe the stripey pair a bit more. I think reading glasses can be more fun because we’re not wearing them all the time in all situations, like regular glasses. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2158029 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 18:23:13 +0000 rachylou 2158029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A tough choice! I find #5 more stylish and #6 friendlier. The thing about #6 is that friendlier can sometimes mean more dismissible, so I sort of feel it depends on whether you like attention... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2158028 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 17:53:47 +0000 Nitsirk 2158028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou - I like the descriptors you’ve given and agree with them - #1 - more classic and #2 - more casual and lively. Your keen observations are impressive - you noticed my necklace! Wow. and you’re right - when exclusively used for readers, I can have more fun with them. I am drawn to number 2 but I like both. I think all of this feedback and especially Runcarla’s picking up on the lack of uniformity in the pattern on the frames from the right to the left prompts me to keep these in mind but to perhaps continue my search. Angie’s 2017 post encourages me to be patient and search widely and open mindedly. So, I will persist without forgetting Bout this valuable feedback and success with these two choices. I am happy the feedback wasn’t indicating that my instincts were way off. That’s a terrific guidepost for me. THANK YOU!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2158026 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 17:47:32 +0000 Nitsirk 2158026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim Cat - thank you for your observations and compliments. The first pair is definitely more conservative and the second pair has more oomph as far as impact goes. So, it makes sense that it could be perceived as too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2157986 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 07:40:08 +0000 Bijou 2157986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both frames on you. You have beautiful eyes and an oval face, so both shapes work. To me #1 is more classic, #2 a bit more casual and lively. Personally I prefer the more uniform frame in #1, especially in #6 when you are not wearing a mask, which hopefully will be over soon. Both frames are lovely soft colours and look great with your eyes and necklace. Having said that, with readers they tend to be worn less frequently than normal specs, so you have a bit more fun with the frame. Is there one that you are drawn to more than the other? </p> <p>I recently had eye surgery to correct my vey bad eyesight and now wear readers. After years of being restricted with the sort of glasses I could wear due to my prescription, I chose a complete opposite type of frame for my readers, being a large square shaped metal frame and I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2157980 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 07:19:40 +0000 slim cat 2157980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first pair better - something about the colors of a second pair feels a bit too much ( maybe I'm wrong about that ).<br />Your eyes are very pretty and the skin looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2157956 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 05:01:59 +0000 Nitsirk 2157956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni - I remember your glasses conundrum. My family is divided on these two pairs. The input you gave is helpful to me. Thanks for taking the time to reply. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2157953 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 04:52:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2157953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Nikki above. I do like the colours of the other ( pic 2) with your eyes but feel overall that the pic 1 pair suits your face more. I went through this last December/January and forum feedback was helpful, but in the end I got the forum’s second choice as it felt more like me, plus my family liked them better and they were cheaper as well. 11 months down the track I am still very happy but I empathise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2157938 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 03:19:05 +0000 Nitsirk 2157938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Shevia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2157937 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 03:16:24 +0000 Jaime 2157937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also drawn to #2.

I prefer the pair in pics one, four and six. The larger lens compliments your eyes. The shape of the frames are youthful. Hope this helps.

Terrific feedback. Thanks for the comments about the colour differences in the frames of #2. Yes. So tough to feel confident choosing glasses in a mask and to focus on try-ons while also maintaining distance. Your kind compliment means a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2157926 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 02:41:38 +0000 Carla 2157926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the size, fit, and pattern of the #2 pair - however the disparity in the distribution of the pattern throws me off. &nbsp;The colour(s) in the first pair is nice, but I think the frame is too thin and the glasses themselves too large.</p> <p>Shopping for glasses is a nightmare. &nbsp;After trying on, like, 20 pair, my current frames were actually found by a YLF forum member! </p> <p>You have gorgeous eyes!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-some-new-reading-glasses#post-2157923 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 02:25:33 +0000 Nitsirk 2157923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello there! I am in need of some new frames for my reading glasses and am in the initial stages of searching for the perfect pair. I used a post by Angie from 2017 for some excellent guidelines to help me out. This is my first time posting photos which I am not entirely comfortable with.<br /> Photos one and four and six are the same pair from different angles. Photos two, three, and five are same pair from different angles. Mask came down when store emptied out and given permission by store owner. Frowning face not deliberate. Honesty desired. Perhaps the angle of the photos is not ideal for truly showing off the frames but worth a try to collect your thoughts. </p>
