ok, went back to Specsavers again today and tried on some more frames, this time with the assistance of the helpeful assistant.

First up, some Quiksilver frames. Straight-armed at the sides


Then, some Jasper Conran ones


and finally, some ultra-lightweight titanium specs


I can get two pairs, either from this range or from the ones I put up yesterday (assuming I can get the extra free pair from a cheaper range, and just pay for the most expensive).

Still love the Calvin Klein ones, but they're like Marmite - people either go 'oh, YES!' or 'dear god, what were you thinking?'

I like the Quiksilver ones by far the best.

The angular, black framed ones, like yesterday's pairs, make you look like an accountant turned serial killer. And not in a good way.

ack! buying glasses is a nightmare. Everyone's opinion is different (why am I surprised) and half the stuff I like everyone else doesn't, and half the stuff everyone else likes, I'm not sure about.

I think I'll just give up the computer, reading, and spend my days staring into the middle distance.

of the three, those were the pair that K picked too. Clearly you both have exceptional taste.

out f those i like the conran ones best on you, but i´m generally a fan of the more 'prominent' frames... :)

The Conran ones make you look a bit Vic Reeves. It depends on whether or not that's a look you're going for. 1 & 2 are aligned with your eyebrows, 3 are not and the actual lenses are too wide for your face. So I would get 1 AND 2, for different purposes. 1 for subtlety/work, 2 for style/play.

I actually think a chunkier frame suits you - I like the Jasper Conran ones on you very much, though if I were buying for myself I'd go for the Quiksilver.

I like them all, but the top ones are the best :-)

Love the Quicksilver (the first ones, right?) As for "yesterdays" choices, I agree the second pair is awesome but the first pair is a decent substitute.

Can I be contrary and say you'd never pass a CRB check in the Conran ones? I think they make you look like a sexual deviant...

I've chosen some slightly different Quiksilver ones - those have quite squarish corners, whereas the pair I've picked (but not yet bought, plenty of time to change mind etcetc) are more rounded on top.

s'ok, I've already passed my CRB check...

yus, first ones are the quiksilver pair. Though I've chosen a slightly different pair in the end...

I still adore the CK (chunky) pair.

me too. I really like the way they fit on my face. Ah well, maybe next time! Gotta get them past the boss. :-)
