Big, bold glasses

Priss — Sat, 12 Sep 2020 14:58:49 GMT

I know the big, bold glasses are in style. But I find them very distracting! I know I could never pull them off. Just because they’re fashionable currently, doesn’t mean you should wear them. Opinions?

Not a fan either.

I have a small face and high cheekbones. The bigger glasses/sunglasses aren't flattering but most annoying, they fog up immediately when they hit my cheeks. Hard to find good quality polarized sunglasses that aren't huge.

I LOVE a big bold status pair of eyeglasses. For me, glasses are like jewelry an accessory to complete an outfit or look.

I unfortunately am petite with small features and a tiny head. So I will pick cool colors and styles I just have to go with a small scale or I look like a pair of glasses wearing a tiny head instead of a lady wearing funky glasses.

@Priss I have two, plus sunglasses and I love the large size and look. 👍

I like them. I have a couple of pair of readers, in that style.

I think, as with anything else, we should all feel free to wear styles that we like, and that express our personalities.

I really like these glasses as a fashion statement:

Nice for sunglasses for me. More protection.

I prefer the larger glasses especially for sunglasses. The bigger and darker the better.

I strongly prefer rimless glasses! They are much more comfortable and the style is timeless.

Now that I'm retired, I wear what I want instead of maintaining the corporate leader look. It's so fun. Right now, I'm wearing large pink framed glasses and love them. It's different. It's more me. To each their own without judgment.

Absolutely agree I remember when all the guidelines said your eyes should be centered in the middle of the lenses. I thought maybe optometrists had changed their recommendations so I did some research and, no, they haven't - the recommendations are still the same. So beyond looking like a bug eyed alien, people probably aren't even getting the best vision out of their oversized glasses. I guess if they're just readers it doesn't matter. Also another issue is whether magnifying the wrinkled, dark circles under the eyes is cosmetically pleasing. Oh well, it's a trend and will pass and look very dated in a few years but some people gotta jump on every bandwagon!

That's how ridiculous some of those "big, bold"glasses will look in few years!
