I just buy these because easy

And only like $375 a pair so p cheap

>>11356571

which is odd, because angular frames work with more faces than round ones 2bh, unless everyone on /fa/ was a squarish head

>>11357126
>only
h-hold me famm...

I need new sunglasses, but I have a problem: my head is fucking massive, and it's hard to find glasses that I can't outright see around (which kinda defeats the purpose). I tried on a pair of 62mm lens 18mm bridge glasses, but the idea of paying some italian kike 200 dollars for a few pieces of plastic left a sour taste in my mouth.

What options do I have for something fairly inexpensive?

Personally always had something for Tom Ford interpretations of round-ish frames. Especially the accents.

Like the model. Not fully round, but also with an angular component. Colour also nice.
Would definitely wear.
>Pic related.

>>11356633
Want to see this on a 'regular' person's face.
So angular, your face must be a literal circle.

>>11356643
Aviator inspired. Oversized as hell.
Nobody's face is wide and deep enough for something like this.
>When 'oversized' becomes unreasonable.
Extreme readhead colour.

>>11356660
Have seen these in the wild before. Never really properly implemented. Boring from colour standpoint.

>>11357126
>Persol

>literally restamped RayBans.

Rarely see something this boring. Even by mainstream standards. Even colour wise.
You apparently don't have really bad eyesight that you need them all the time (looking at lensing).
Some people do and for them their eyewear is the most important 'assessory' on their body. Can change entire facial perception.

Sorry. Asians can pull off about anything.

For actually coloured people (ie black, indian, etc.)
Just don't really feel it.
Welcome to post some good examples.

Imo frames should somewhat emulate the hair colour.

I don't understand why they are so popular. Most of the time they do not suit the faces that I see them on. Everyone here wants so badly to be individual and such, but then go copying the latest fad.

Never said that this this thread would not contain circle/round/oval frames. They are indeed popular around these parts.
You said:
>sum up
when there was nothing to sum up. I digress.

>half of the ones you quoted were not even round/oval, mate.
Check your geometry.

I understand your point. And apart from them striking me personally as more refined than their Wayfarer counterparts, there are not many more shapes you could legitimately use.

Follow this line of thought:
>want something different
>no oval/round
>gets triangular glasses for example
>does not work
>goes back to rectangular
>goal of wsnting smth. different not achieved

There are not many other shapes, so people go round.
Also i agree that completely round can look overly dorky. That is why i advocate the round/square hybrid.

I had a teacher who wore glasses like that. He was an old pedophile and his wife, also a teacher, was 40 years younger than him. He always winked at the guys in the room, stared at the girls wearing skirts. He gave marks according to your ethnicity and gender. A white hetero guy had <10, a black guy 10, a girl 13, a black girl 15.

>>11357623
Very 80s. My dad used to wear glasses like that.

Personally quite like them. But also very dependent on face size. Too big and they will dominate the entire face.

Watch out for lense thickness on these things...

i wanna wear glasses but my eyes are completely fine. i know this sounds retarded but for some reason my face looks much better with glasses

I wasn't sure whether to put this in fuccboi General or here. Can you guys tell me my face shape and recommend me glasses that would look good.

Vision is fucked and I've been wearing thin small lenses for the last two years and I need a new pair.

>>11357823
you can wear glasses purely for the aesthetic.. you dont have to have an eye problem just get normal lenses

>>11357417
>Need to be white af to pull it off though

What?

>>11357515
The girl in that picture looks like Amira Ahmed (an African and Asian mixed model). Are you trying to show how Asian people look good in them or how black/darker people don't pull it off well?

Just my opinion.
Always think that frame colour should match skin tone to a certain degree.

Then again. If you want to try it out, more power to you.

Just need to watch out for the lense thickness. Always wanted to try some transparents, but my lenses were to visible in them (similar to rimless).

Fix astigmatism

I need them to read and have my eyes focus on distant objects since one eye is weaker than the other.

So I wear them daily

>>11357217
Transparents are done. It's already dead, you'll regret it.

>>11357727

>>11358755
Wearing glasses daily is not identical to wearing them constantly.
Should you need them only for reading and driving, I wonder why you spent $375 on very generic frames.

To people who wear their glasses constantly (only taking them of for sleep), glasses become an integral part of once face. This gets more extreme with worse eyesight, as it also modifies the perceived eyesize in proportion to every other aspect of the face.
>Make it special
>In my case, i had people not recognise me without my glasses.

>>11358273
Generic, off-the-shelf glasses.
Rather spent money on the best lenses my optician had.

I never really believed in eyewear brands desu. Quality wise they are mostly similar (its hard to screw up an Acetate frame) and in case of most design they are similar/average people cannot tell.

Think that these are derived from some Tom Ford-ish design, with less interesting texturing and detailing. Picked them for their square-oval fusion, an imo very interesting shape. Also liked the highly subtle turtoise, which can only be seen under certain light.

>pic related
>my next pair will probably be Tom Ford

>>11357727
Does that apply to sunglasses as well?

Do round glasses look good on any face shape?. I have stem fag rectangle glasses currently but looking to upgrade.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated

>>11360217
No, they don't, but people keep wearing them anyways because it's the latest meme fad.

>>11360217
Hell they don't!
Round and Oval faceshapes cannot wear them.

A lot harder to pull off than rectangular. If you have lived with STEM glasses up to this point, take it slow and move to rectangular first.

>>11360234
Why the hate?

>>11360217
to be honest they go with nearly any face shape and are typically quite tasteful but fags on here love their cheap 2008 looking wireframe rectangle fag glasses

>>11357995

But if all my opnions are now bullshit, try to refute the fact that clear frames shouldn't be used with thick lenses.

the contrast with his skin and glasses is perfect
they look like lab goggles on white people.

i have two pairs of glasses from eyebuydirect and i can attest to their quality - its satisfactory. basically you get what you pay for. id say quality wise 7/10 pretty good..i have the standford and fitzgerald glasses. also yeah you could pull off those round frames nicely with your face shape, the key is just not to buy glasses that arent the shape of your face, seeing that you have long non round edged face itll work
