So what kinda glasses are /fa/ these days? Glasses are a bit of a weird thing because you have options where you can be very generic and functional, jazz things up a bit, go retro, etc. Pic related are a a pair of inoffensive black frames that are the modern norm. Very neutral, very non-descript, very everyman. If you see someone wearing these, your one and only judgement is "oh that nigga has poor eyesight". Is wearing a neutral frame the wisest move for the /fa/utist so that his outfit can do the talking, or can being a four eyes be used to one's advantage with snazzier and bolder frames? Contacts are obviously preferable, but sometimes people are too broke for such luxuries and sometimes being in one too many bar fights makes wearing glasses a bit more comfortable.
should I get zenni or eyebuydirect
>>18791522I've been wearing Zenni for like ten years at this point. They're pretty okay.
I wear thick rimmed glasses like Michael Caine and Buddy Holly. If you're gonna wear glasses, make them a statement. If you're too self-conscious about wearing glasses, use contacts instead of making apologies.
>>18791514Too broke for contacts? Just get some Acuvues. A single 12 pack is at least 6 months, longer if you don't wear them every day. >>18791570I only own one pair of glasses these days, no prescription in them. They always work well as an accessory and you can literally add a lot of physicality behind simple actions with them. >rub bridge of nose because of frustration Versus. >take glasses off and then rub bridge of nose because of frustration It's performative, but it's a baked in social cue that people immediately recognize as having extra emphasis because whatever is going on forced you to do an extra step. The most use I get out this sort of thing is headaches. No one can see a headache, but they can see you taking your glasses off and rubbing your eyes or hoods of your eyes. It works a treat when you just need a minute, or you need an excuse to get out of a social situation without anyone being able to take your exit as an insult. Lots of other shit. I noticed this a long time ago and still do it because of the usefulness. Another example being not wearing your glasses and then suddenly putting them on when you are reading something to indicate that you weren't gripped or felt like whatever the other person required that sort of attentiveness, but now that you are taking out your glasses and putting them on to consider what they want you to look at it makes it appear as if they've suddenly tipped the conversation in a way that genuinely intrigues you, and you're giving it special attention now. That provokes a positive response in them, unconsciously. There is a fine line though. You have to have good EQ in order to know when you should do these things when you shouldn't. Otherwise you just turn into a dramatic sperg that gives anime character larper vibes.
>>18791514What's the current state of Aliexpress' cellulose acetate/TR90 frames? What about poor man's Lemtosh?
>>18791514I bought a Matsuda frame last, shit’s so cash.
Thin metal frames are the only sophisticated choice. Thick frame glasses are for people trying to hide their face. I guess if you are ugly, go nuts.

>>18791664i agree only beautiful fashionable people come here with their perfect sense of fashion. anyboday with an unfashionable opinion is probably beyond fashion's help
>>18791758Niggers can't write complete sentences let alone paragraphs, and you can't even punctuate. Next time, don't post a foid and stay on topic. This is about glasses, after all.
Thoughts on Gast frames?
>>18792108More specifically Vero, Mente or Anima.https://www.gast-shop.com/en/products/vero-honey-round-eyeglasseshttps://www.gast-shop.com/en/products/mente-classic-havana-round-eyeglasseshttps://www.gast-shop.com/en/products/anima-caramel-round-eyeglassesAlso, I don't know if a dark havana is too invasive, compared to a color like honey. Share your wisdom, oh anons.
>>18791514After getting a pair of frameless glasses I am never going back to framed ones. They look much cooler and they give you better peripheral vision.
>>18792108They are supposedly high quality and affordable for regular store prices.They're also made in china, and will also take the same beating as anything else as you use them, lose their shine, have small scratches etc.so still not worth the price compared to buying some chinese frame for 20-30 euro and installing your lenses.The ones you linked are all nice and almost entirely similar, but my problem is that 48-49 is too big for my face and given I'm a man and normal sized, I feel like it's too big for most people's faces.I personally wear 44 to 46 and my face frames them as opposed to them overwhelming my face.
If my vision ever goes bad I'm gonna be wearing wire frame silver aviators or big jew glasses
>>18791514MOSCOT is the only game in town.
>>18792324
>>18792317I appreciate the answer. I don't really care if they're made in China as long as the quality is good. I just want something well made (not necessarily expensive) for a long time. I've been wearing my metal Giorgio Armani for almost 2 decades.The sizing is a good point, thanks. My current frame is 52-18-140.
>>18791514Persol 3092v and 3286v and Ray-Ban 3047 iirc? Fucking presbyopia
>>18792552Rb3447 actually my bad
2cop or not 2 cop?
>>18792590Only if you are a transgenderist and want to make your face look even WIDER
>>18792592if i were a transformer i'd get those cat eye catlady shades
