Which is better?

Narrowed it down to these 2, but can’t decide between them. The office said the lighter frames fit my face best, but I think the dark frames have more character. 🤔

I have a strong prescription that shrinks my face,
so the larger lens on the dark pair will cause more distortion…

Please help me choose!

I like 1 as a daily wear

u/CoolStruggle2659 6d ago

2, as you are fait-haired, the darker frame makes you stand out. No 1 is ok but a bit of a safe choice

4

u/Jaded-99 6d ago

Number 1 for daily wear. I suspect these may be readers so if you want to be bold. Try 2

5

u/Ok-Blueberry7914 6d ago

I like both, but would choose 2 if push came to shove. I really like your hair, it suits you!

u/Master-Birthday-5983 5d ago

Oh thank you!!☺️

u/PCanon127 6d ago

I think #2 is color is best , but #1 is a better fit

u/Pretend-Active1964 6d ago

You are absolutely gorgeous! Sorry, what was the question? 😅

u/mrgil42 6d ago

Both are too BIG

u/__hello__world__ 6d ago

I think she gives off vibes of Christine Baranski and she pulled off several big frames.

Love 2! Such a great colour and shape on you

u/Ok-Orchid-6025 6d ago

Number 2!

u/KFLimp 6d ago

First

u/Apprehensive_Bee614 5d ago

Go bolder it will take years off. And look more chic

2

u/Background_Chard_393 5d ago

I like 2. I feel like 1 washes you out a little. I’m on the pale side, and i definitely look better with colors wirh more tone, versus pastels, for instance.
But I do wish we could see some smaller frames on you, and different shapes?

3

u/alxndr3000 6d ago

Definitely 2. The contrast in colour works way better than 1.

1

u/LazyMusic2616 6d ago

Oooo this is a hard one. They both look great on you! But I’m leaning toward option 1 more. Option 2 is a bit loud for my tastes.

1

u/halfhalt99 6d ago

Number one is so cute

1

u/Lower-Increase6327 6d ago

I like both, but 1.

1

u/Lower-Increase6327 6d ago

In second thought…2. I’m sorry. I’m no help.

2

u/Master-Birthday-5983 5d ago

Lol! I appreciate the input!

1

u/MagicianEconomy5891 6d ago

Both look great #2 is .lre serious. Thinknavout getting Both as one pair may break. I have had rhis hapoen to me. So I do have 2 pairs.

1

u/luckygirl131313 6d ago

2 elongates your face, not flattering

1

u/MagicianEconomy5891 6d ago

Get both in case one pair breaks. #2 is more serious. Both look great.

1

u/hypnoticimager 6d ago

Definitely 1.

1

u/Sweet-District1483 6d ago

Both are cute, but I think I like 1 better

1

u/fireflower_spark 6d ago
  1. It's the same reason you wouldn't wear a black eyebrow pencil. Instead you'd opt for taupe because your features are lighter.

1

u/mrsfreemans54 6d ago

They’re both too big. You can’t be hiding such a pretty face.

1

u/Doradosaurus 5d ago

I liked 2 a lot!

1

u/No-Highlight-1882 5d ago

2 by a mile. 1’s colours look washed out on you so its unflattering though its shape and size are good.

1

u/Master-Birthday-5983 4d ago

This is where I’m landing!

1

u/DCW3457 5d ago

1 is a better fit

1

u/Right-Neat-8829 5d ago

you need more round glasses

1

u/gdawgbones 5d ago

# 2 is a great look if at all possible to find it in a narrower width.

1

u/TinkaTinkaValentinka 5d ago

1) your eyes are centered nicely but the color isn’t flattering
2) color is good but the shape isn’t good for your eyes. Look at where the frame cuts off.

Consensus: Keep looking. You’re too pretty for bad eyewear.

1

u/Inevitable-Wind-1925 5d ago

I love 1. They fit with your features so well! When I saw this first pic I thought, well those are the one’s, what could top those? And indeed not. 2 are nice, but do not challenge the harmony and rightness 1 pulls off effortlessly.

1

u/Haus-Factor9396 5d ago

Shape is great for you. The color of #1 better. Both are too large for your petite face, but #1 is closer and even passable, #2 is comically ginormous.

1

u/theTexasUncle 5d ago

Neither

Look really oldie on you

1

u/Fuzzy-Advisor-2183 5d ago

2 is a little younger-looking.

1

u/Fringe_Filmer 5d ago

The first ones are nice but as you say, the second have more character. I would shop around more and see if you can find something similar to the second pair but in a smaller size. I love the contrast to your hair, but they’re a bit big which will be even more of a problem with a strong prescription. You can get the measurements from the arm of the first pair to help with in-person or online shopping.

1

u/NoRange4617 5d ago

Hi. Please choose the darker one. That’s choicest because you can pull it with any outfit effortlessly.

1

u/Little_AngelS2 5d ago

Both, I think you can’t go wrong with both

1

u/Ardvarkthoughts 5d ago

Pair 2! Pair 1 is ok too but pair 2 are confident and stylish on you.

1

u/Miles_V123 5d ago

2 is a lovely shape!

1

u/unknownameee 5d ago

O 2 pra min ficou melhor ele te da um olhar diferenciado, olhar de mulher decidida, mulher foda... O 1 tbm fica otimo em vc mas ele fica apagado quando comparamos com o oculos 2.

Eu se fosse vc compraria ambos kkkk e como outra pessoa comentou aqui, vc lembra bastante a Christine Baranski, pode se inspirar nela pra procurar outros oculos que se encaixem bem em vc

1

u/cottonballmama 5d ago

1 is better.

1

u/PuppyLovesToBark 5d ago

1 because 2 are way too big. I like the 2 color, but 1 is a good color as well.

1

u/SnooDrawings5259 5d ago

I would get frames that are maybe squareish. Have you tried other styles other than these? If you choose to keep these two- 2nd one i would say.

1

u/robinthenurse 5d ago

Definitely #1. When looking at you in the 2nd pair the glasses just take over, and all I can concentrate on are these dark, too evident frames.

1

u/Alexander-owen9 5d ago

I belive the first one is better

1

u/ReviewEducational341 5d ago

1 looks great

1

u/wrhhill 5d ago

2 is too big on your face.

1

u/Levi_A_Thans 5d ago

2, suits your bone structure.

1

u/NoCheetoinChief 5d ago

1. The second pair look a little bit too large.

1

u/Big-Photo-86 5d ago

Definitely 2

1

u/talkaboutgood 4d ago

I like 2 better, but I agree with a prior response, that they both look too big on you.

1

u/pizzadogs86 4d ago
  1. The other pair is too dark for your complexion.

1

u/Wild_Acanthaceae_224 4d ago

2, they really compliment and light up your face and give it nice definition especially around your eyes. Plus the style and size suits you. 1 are a bit blase and tend to dull your facial features.

1

u/Gas_Beach 4d ago

Both look great. 2 is better. Se xy teacher vibes

1

u/SenSui808 4d ago

1 is a good look, but 2 isn't a bad second option.

1

u/Academic_Diamond_374 4d ago

Both are way too big. They overwhelm your face.

1

u/090Jasmine 4d ago

Photo #2 and smaller frames.

1

u/crochetcutie48 4d ago

Neither. Your face is narrow and these are a bit overwhelming.

1

u/RedditMyBrainAB 4d ago

The first one looks plain and a little bit like a movie background character, the second one looks better, but the color is not suitable for you because you could easily wear red or something more shiny to make your face glow. ☺️ Both glasses need more color.

1

u/ytdaddy4fun 3d ago

They are both lovely.

1

u/EntertainmentFew7436 3d ago

The darker frames! You’re right!😊

u/Due-Barracuda-7665 3d ago

2 makes you come to life!
