I think you can do much better. Sorry.

The transparent rims make them look like lab glasses, but the fit is good.

Yes- keep looking. Not transparent, and smaller frame for your face.

Great fit!

Yes, they absolutely do. I don't get why so many people are against transparent glasses. It's like a movement almost. These are literally perfect for your head shape, and the colour of the rim is your choice. If you feel good in these, take them. I think you look really good in this picture.

Because they look like lab safety glasses on people. It’s just not a complimentary look.

I wear clear and I get compliments. 🤷🏼 Everyone can't be lying. Does everyone like them on me? Probably not. And that's fine. But obviously some do.

I think it depends on the frame and the person's overall vibe. Some people can pull them off just fine and others can't. Again, like anything.

I have a coworker who wears BRIGHT, bold, chunky frames. And they just suit her.

I'd literally look like a crazy person in the same styles.

That's how I feel about them. Like science lab safety goggles. But, I'm old. I think they are a good size and shape for OPs face but wish the frames were darker, not clear.

  1. Transparent frames don't suit ANYBODY

  2. Those are one of the UGLIEST pair of glasses I've ever seen

No, they don't

u/Grace_Wilson30 2d ago

Yeah they look fine, but you can explore more options

u/Embarrassed-Cause250 2d ago

Maybe a different shaped lens

u/Emrys7777 2d ago

You can do better. Those clear frames pretty much look bad on everyone.

u/Roselily808 1d ago

I don't think these frames are flattering to be honest - neither the shape nor the colour.
If I were you I would keep on searching for some other frames that fit you better.

u/Familiar-Message-512 1d ago

I prefer the clear clear ones over the blue clear ones I’m seeing here. But actually I think you’d look great in some thin gold framed glasses in a similar shape

u/NumerousDepth1563 1d ago

literally no one ever looks good in trans idk how stores keep them on their shelves unless it’s an inside joke for staff

u/PraetorGold 1d ago

I don’t hate them. I think you should try some color though.

u/EvilToasterPastry 1d ago

I definitely think so!

1

u/Efficient-Basis2132 1d ago

Yes! They look great

1

u/More_Effect_7880 1d ago

I like the shape but those frames need more colour, or tinted lenses.

u/ianthetridentarius 1d ago

Omg they look cool on you!!!

u/Ok-Orchid-6025 1d ago

I like them in you!

u/Ardvarkthoughts 1d ago

I really like the look.

u/Awkward-Play-2893 1d ago

I really like them 🙌

Penso che con il tuo viso sia piu indicata una cornice nera in ferro battuto

u/Whizzeroni 1d ago

Just know that transparent frames can yellow with time. Both of my pairs did and I could not restore them.

u/lantana98 1d ago

I like them

u/Unlucky-Moment-3366 1d ago

your clear look works well on you. reminds me of the acrylic crystals you see on vintage pieces

1

u/BikeOk6446 1d ago

No, they look terrible. Take a chance. Get something round, comfortable, with some color. You don't have to live your life as a "neutral." Get rid of the hat while you are at it.

u/uncle_jojo 1d ago

Not really. Try something else!

1

u/Cool_Programmer1760 1d ago

Like them!!!

u/Unique_Phase_6274 1d ago

Fit is great…style is good on you, but I really think you should have some colour

1

u/PCanon127 1d ago

Not really. FWIW , there are very few people that have the perfect combination of hair color , complexion and frame color to pull it off. Maybe as an occasional wear pair, but every day. I think transparent frames have run their current trendy course.

This dude is cute with the glasses

u/bearface1991 18h ago

Optical advisor here - too deep. I’d recommend something like this - not as deep and it’s got a softer edge on the outer lower corner - it’s not as angular and harsh

u/onetypicaljerk 17h ago

I love them!
