I've been through maybe 3 pairs of these glasses from the cheap chinese suppliers and after trying to make the small ass frames that they supply work with my face (they didn't and hurt after a while), I decided to just splurge on the Sirmonts by American Optics because they make a frame big enough for my faceI was hoping to avoid getting the same exact style and wanted to avoid anything too recognizable (which is why I wanted to go for the cheap chinese frames) but it was inevitableI won't be too much of a poser will I?unfortunately I didn't have any other choice since the chinese suppliers don't make anything larger than the average Asian male/American female head
>>18742483naw it’s not cringe, glasses unlike other period stuff can totally be worn in modern times with modern clothes without it being LARPy
>>18742513considering browline glasses are still "in style" since they timeless classics at this point, I wasn't really worried about it being too "LARPy" moreso I was hoping I wouldn't get recognized as wanting similar style frames or being inspired by Malcolm X considering I agree with a lot of his ideas so people can more easily connect the dots that I was inspired by X if they look into itI also have rectangle frames with free floating lower rim I use as daily drivers and then some completely circle frames I throw on every now and then like Lennon; although I hate Lennon and think he's a fag: I just like the circular frames stylistically
I really don't think the average person would even noticed. And if they do, it'd probably only be for a fleeting moment before going on with their day
>>18742567naw most people are too stupid to even know who he is
well anonsI appreciate (You)sgave me the affirmation I needed to just not give a fuck and stop thinking about it, thank you
>>18742483just get the shuron zyl, they are totally unchanged from their 1940s-50s design.
>>18742897I might consider them if for some reason I'm not a fan of the Sirmonts. The Sirmonts themselves are also virtually unchanged minus the sizes: the Zyls come in almost every size under the sunI may buy a set as a back-up pair or beater regardless, just like Malcolm X was known for
