I want to get new glasses but I’m not sure which to choose. Which suit me best?

Thanks!

Looking to get a new pair of frames, but since I've been rocking the pair in the last photo for 9 years straight, they literally feel like an extension of my body at this point. Whenever I try on other frames, I look weird to myself and just feel like they don't suit my face. Do you think it's purely psychological, or do they genuinely not suit me? What kind of frame profile/shape should I be trying? I'm considering the 2nd pair as prescription sunglasses, but I'm ruling out aviators for my daily optical wear since they're just not as comfortable compared to the others.

The first are my current pair. I've been told I have a heart shaped face so I should lean towards cat eye styles

Only been wearing glasses for about a year. Still figuring things out 🥸

A couple of these are my old frames, just debating if I should upgrade the prescription or find new frames.

Pink or Navy?

The lighting was lower in the pink store.

I included side by sides to make it easier to compare.

Am I headed in the right direction or way off base still? I've tried to listen to all of the advice. There's a lot! 1 and 2 are clear. I tried to go with smaller frames and less bulk

M28. The first two photos are more up to date with my hairstyle/facial hair length. My vision insurance is updating soon so I will be able to get new glasses. Fourth pic is current but me with smaller sunglasses on.

Third photo are the oversized rectangular lenses I have. My current are 54 mm wife lens, with 18 mm bridge width.

I want something smaller, because these 54s honestly seem way too wide for my face. I wear sunglasses that are 46 mm, 22 bridge width and they seem to fit well (4th pic.)

I’ve thought about something rounder. Want something stylish, masculine, and will look good with my current facial hair. Any recommendations?

Sorry for my odd face, but I really need to find glasses.

Thank you 🙏🏼😍

Please give your opinion, but be kind🫣

1. Do they suit me?
2. Is it fine to wear glasses some days and contacts others?
   Bonus if they make me look extra “teacher-y”

Hello all, I am back here again and have taken all the advice I got given. Try more styles, try different colours and most importantly: Face Forwards! 😂

I have also numbered all the photos for ease of looking at (they blend in after a while). So please let me know your thoughts and opinions. Thank you 🦾

I’m a bit self conscious about the bags under my eyes (it’s hereditary; they’re always there), so I’m typically happier with frames that help disguise the issue a bit. I’ve included a few wire-rimmed options I’d consider, but I’m not so sure.

Other than that, I’d love to find something a little more daring than these, perhaps in shape and/or color — more vibrant blues, teals, and/or greens would be great. (It’s hard to see, but there actually are a few blues and greens among these…just difficult to see because I took the photos with the light behind me). I think I’m still looking, but what say you all?

I have a lot of sunglasses. They don’t need to be the best ever pair, or the everyday pair, but they need to look reasonably good.

These were pricey, and I’m not sure I love the angle on me. I don’t think I’d have a whole lot of trouble selling them, or trading them, but I also think they’re incredibly beautiful and I WANT THEM TO WORK…

So…

Good? Average? Bad?

Thanks!

Little bit of context: I'm cursed with combination skin (oily & dry), and I always used to just rinse my glasses under warm (or a little warmer than warm) water and dry them with a cloth. According to a lady at the place where I got my current pair of glasses from doing that is a big no-no. My dad mentioned to me years ago that it would be better to use wet wipes specifically used to clean off glasses & whatnot, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyway when I got my current glasses I thought I should try to care for them better, so that they last me as long as possible, so I bought this Koala brand glasses cleaner & cloth combo pack to start cleaning my glasses with. Everything was kinda fine for a bit, but, as seen by the above pictures, I've been noticing what looks to be specs of dust or something that refuses come off even after I handwash it with warm water and soap as per the instructions. I just washed this last night, and it still looks like this, and what's worse is that it'll get on my lenses too. Because of this I've been hardly wearing my glasses, and this sucks because I'd like to start gaming/watching things clearly on my beautiful TV again.

I debated on whether or not to just start throwing the cloth in the washer, but I'm thinking now that lens wipes might be the way to go. I just started doing a little bit of looking on Amazon, and found a couple, read some reviews and the reviews can range from "I love them" to "ahhh streaks!"

So, I come to you, my blind comrades. Anyone using lens cleaning wipes and are happy with them? If so, please recommend them. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Sorry this got long! Thanks for your help! 🤓

He brought these new glasses and I really like them 😍 and I gotten several compliments. Tell me what y'all think

the first pair are some blue light glasses i got from a tech store that i thought actually suited me better than my normal glasses so i was thinking about getting prescription lenses put in them but what do
