r/glassesadvice

Just found out I need glasses! Any tips?

I took some of your guys advice, and included the green ones which were favorites from last post. Im not sure if the thin/rimless is the vibe for me… thoughts? Which ones are the winners?😫 sorry swear this is the last post i make haha. Mind you, my style in general is feminine but bold and different, I dont want ones that are super regular. Prescription is -3.75 and i have astigmatism

Starting with I have a very rectangular face and I want something that compliments that not emphasizes it.
I’ve had either metal round glasses (my fav) since 2019 OR clear plastic square glasses with rounded bottoms (what I’ve been told looks best)

I’m looking for a more minimal glasses look hence the thin metal or clear plastic.

I have on very old picture with the darker frames, but I find it looks too dramatic.

Thoughts???

First 2 pics are new glasses and last pic is my old ones recently wearing.

Yessss ik I need to push them a little back but I usually wear them a little low it’s a habit…. Also i always get that I look to serious I hate smiling lol

Got my new glasses few months ago but feel there to big.. so I went back to my old ones which Ik are a bit small. I just HATE getting new glasses I suck at choosing
Should I wear the new ones in the meantime until I go buy new ones soon or are they really bad.

Any advice on color/frame for my next purchase please, thank you.

Just wondering what the people in here think. Round glasses are the current ones. Thanks!

As per your recommendations, I tried on thinner frames this time, all in size 55.

I will get blue transition lenses when I do buy my glasses, so I can use them anywhere

The browline pictured are size 53, but I would buy a size 55

I’m a contact lens wearer that now needs progressives due to dry eye at age 57 and my prescription getting worse both for far and reading. My options were limited as I have a large nose bridge and have broken my nose so no nose pads.

My computer glasses are the black ones, but my daughter told me black is too harsh, so I went with the pink. I like browns and greens, but none for.

I am so new to all this, I know they may not be perfect on me but do they atleast look okay? And please ignore my acne 🥲

I really like the cat eye style on me, and in general. I didn't like any other shapes (I'd be open to suggestions though! I felt these still made me look like "me" and looked prettier and more girlish - I'm a girlie girl)

Open to advice on what size and shape in cat eye shape style glasses could suit me.

However for now these literally have to do.. do I look normal? 😭

Edit

These are also quite square mixed with cat eye shape which I rly like, not TOO boxy or TOO cat shaped, so this shape I rly like and find it also a bit casual for everyday while still being stylish.

I feel comfortable wearing them and I still look and feel like ME, but I'm embarrassed wearing them out and about because I'm not used to it and I'm worried I look silly to people especially people who wear glasses and have more "expertise" 🥺

The lady at the opticians actually complimented these glasses she said they are nice so maybe that's something!

Edit

What colours do you think would suit me? I personally like dark brown glasses, these are a dark red that look brown to black.

I'm unsure on lighter colours.. don't think I'd like them but open to suggestions on any shades!

Most importantly do they look fine ? I can't afford other options right now.

Ah this sucks i purchased some frames on ebay and when they shipped em they cracked. So I spent about 2 more months looking for frames of the same size diff brand and I bought these but I think they are too small???

Would love feedback about these glasses!
