Do these glasses look OK on me?

[eliev]

Sorry for the Narcissism...

 

[noahpictures]

Yes. That style of frames will still look good years from now.

When I was in high schooll about 100 years ago the preps wore them, "DQ" glasses if I recall correctly. I didn't where them but they are looking great on you. In modern terms these frames are still popular? Just leave the duck
shoes at the vintage store you don't need them.
cheers.

They're very popular in europe. So popular in fact, people who don't need glasses are buying them with plain glass in them. Go figure! I have three pairs in that style I use for reading (the cheep $5 +1.0 strength not from the opticians).

They look fine on you.

From a technical standpoint(I work in an opticians in the UK) the frame from that picture looks to be a good fit as your eyes are very central in the lenses and the bridge over your nose does not look loose in any way. The frame looks to be pretty much perfect in size accross your face without digging in at the temples or sticking out and leaving gaps. In terms of style which is a very subjective area i think it looks quite good.

 

[MrLara]

yes they do.

 

[Allegrabene]

Very stylish and the fit and size of the frame matches your face really well. Did you go to an optician?

 

[shavious]

I believe you've selected a winner! To echo the others, they fit your face quite well.

As a man who had eye surgery when he was 3 years old and has had to wear glasses and contact lenses since, people wearing glasses who don't need them REALLY get on my nerves...

OP - they suit you!

Makes you look brainy. Well done.

 

[eliev]

Wow, thanks everyone! I was afraid I would look like a hipster! Yes, I did buy them from an optician.

+1

You do look brainy and at the same time not nerdy.

 

[Allegrabene]

You've compelled me to get a similar pair. I've been meaning to get new glasses anyway

THOSE are the people that are called "hipsters"

LOL, no worries, literally NOTHING about you says "hipster", you're looking good the way you are

 

[rushchairman]

yep they look great. you look like an obviously young woody allen.

 

[The Knize]

I love that look. Frames I got recently are very much like those and really like them. Very, very popular in the States right now, too. But also very traditional, at least in the States. Maybe at your age they could be seen as a bit hipster, but mostly not I would think.

As others have said, excellent fit.

Bravo!

 

[hillcpa]

I think they look great. They fit your face perfectly.

I can't tell in the picture--are they black or tortoise shell? Either works fine, but I'm a fool for tort, especially with lighter-colored hair.
