Anyone get new Eyeglass Frames lately?

Are they big, small, what's the style lately - seems to change so often. Are you happy with them? Do you have a style in mind you're looking for, or do you try them on and buy what someone says looks best on you? Anyone buy them online?

I purchase my eyeglasses online at Warby Parker. You choose up to five frames they ship to you for free, you have five days to try them out and return shipping is also free.

The glasses are the latest fashion, and they carry classic styles too.

I got these not too long ago at LensCrafters

It doesn't show too well, but the face of the glasses are dark brown tortoise.

I just got new glasses. The frames are by Prodesign Denmark. They are a purplish-grey. Very lightweight and comfortable. I wear progressive lenses, so glad to see the frames getting a little bigger. I have a high nose bridge and find it difficult to get frames that sit right on my face.

My advice would be just try on a lot of different ones. You can't purchase something based on style because it might not look good on you.

Try on some you don't think you'd like too because you never know. I would also (if you can) try to bring someone else with you to tell you what they think. Just a thought.

I did, I did too in December. They are a nice purple Geoffrey Beene. A little bit bigger than my other ones, but not too large as my face is on the small side. They are light weight. Tomorrow I am going back to get my other ones dipped ( to make them dark). My BIL is an optometrist & his receptionist helped me while my DH was getting his eyes checked. I only tried on 5-6 pairs before I found what I liked.

Re: Anyone get new Eyeglass Frames lately?

I've worn glasses for 60+ years and change them every two years - so I know what I like. I just got new ones last Fall. Lots of sizes and shapes and every color under the rainbow ... it's a wide open selection.

I go to an independent optometrist ...and he carries a wide variety of designer and non-designer frames.
