ANOTHER Question to all DUers who wear glasses:

[rbnyc]

What kind of frames do you have?

This year I did not look at the names or prices and just picked out the frames I truly loved, and ended up with PRADA!

They rule, actually. Best frames I've ever had.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. My main pair are a wonderful Calvin Klein frame.

They were pricey, more than I ever paid for glasses before, but as I was looking around at all the choices, my mind kept going back to the beautiful Clavin Kleins. So I went with them.

[rbnyc]

6. It's worth the extra money...

...to have frames you like. You have to wear them every day after all.

[Momgonepostal]

42. And they're the first thing people see when they look at your face

I'm a major tight-wad about a lot of things, most things maybe, but even I will open my wallet wider for frames I love. If I have to wear them all day, every day, they have to be something I'm thrilled with.

[NMDemDist2]

2. mine are frameless

light as a feather

[rbnyc]

5. cool. (nt)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. oops...

wrong spot...

[LSK]

3. you mean people actually know what kinda frames they have???

I have no clue. I havnt been to the doctor in a few years thou.

[Redstone]

29. I'm as surprised as you are. I don't care if they're Yakaratzu frames. Long as they

don't fall off when I bend down.

4. I Have Vogue Frames

I have the frames where there is hardly any frame. A light wire over the top, nothing under the lenses, and the temple pieces. I prefer small glasses, and have for probably 15 years.

7. This is approximately what I have

Bendable Titanium frames. Very light, I love 'em.

8. mine are Nicole Miller ... these..

[rbnyc]

20. oooh

those are good

[In_The_Wind]

9. My frames are Laura Ashley.

They've held up very well. I still love the way they look.



:hi:

[flamingyouth]

10. I can't find a pic of mine online, but these are pretty close

They're Paul Smith and I love them:

[ThomCat]

11. There are no names or lables on mine, so I don't know.

But they were some name brand. I remember that. And too damned expensive.

[edbermac]

12. I need something heavy duty.

I'm always dropping them, stepping on them, laying on them, sitting on them....x(

[AlCzervik]

13. Michael Kors and my insurance plan picked up most of it.

[KamaAina]

14. And we all know who wears Prada, don't we?

:evilgrin:

[MonkeyFunk]

15. Unfortunately

I can't read the name on them unless I'm wearing them.

[RetroLounge]

16. I prefer an understated look in eye wear

17. I went on a frame shopping spree

Bought three sets of frames, there was sale at the optician's shop:
1) Silhouette (rimless) for computer/music reading
2) Nine West reading glasses only
3) A pair of easy clips with the magnetic sunglass overlay...really cool....

[LiberalHeart]

18. Silhouette is very comfortable, and they make a nice narrow bridge

[deepthought42]

19. I have Guess frames, have had them for a couple years now...

I used to have prescription sunglasses w/Guess frames, but I lost those in Disney World... lol

[LiberalHeart]

21. Face a Face frames

[GOPisEvil]

22. Here are mine (with my face attached).

They are made by Police and I bought them in Vancouver. Love them!

[Madrone]

26. You just want to show that pic off.

Because you're all HAWT and stuff.

/busted!


:)

[GOPisEvil]

27. D'oh!!

Caught in the act! :D

[Madrone]

28. Well, I'm not complaining exactly.

;)

I much prefer the HUGH!!11 version of it though.

[GOPisEvil]

32. Lucky you!

You have the only HUGH!1!!1 version. :)

[Madrone]

34. Yeah, but I can make a killing -

selling full-sized copies!

[GOPisEvil]

36. Ha!

You'll buy them all yourself. :P

[Bossy Monkey]

23. Appears to be Vogue

Anyway, there's a stylized V and a dot. Got 'em from LensCrafters upwards of ten years ago. I will be reporting for my bifocals momentarily.

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

25. I have Modo Model 520, in Plum:

Imagine these, in purple :)

[elehhhhna]

30. Me, in mine:

Actually I ordered these, today:

[Left Is Write]

31. The pair I usually wear are Nine West.

These:




I also have Adrienne Vittadini. I don't remember what the third pair is. I'd have to go look.

[jmowreader]

33. When lenses were still made of glass, I wore Cast Iron frames

Because the only way you're gonna keep lenses that are ground out of the bottoms of Coke bottles on your face is to mount 'em in cast iron. That shit was heavy--not the frames, but the inch-thick lenses.

[mainegreen]

35. Well here's a picture.

They're neat as the lenses do not go all the way to the edges. Very funky. I think they're from Japan.

[ellisonz]

43. Nice Glasses

Nice baby, and a lovely wife. Good pic.

:thumbsup:

[LiberalHeart]

44. I love that photo.

[Der Blaue Engel]

37. Just got these:

By prodesign:denmark, which I'd never heard of before. They were the ones I liked best at a small boutique where everything was expensive, and they turned out to be the least expensive in the place, completely covered by my insurance. :) (Except for the lenses, that is. My vision is so bad that I always have to pay a "freakishly myopic" penalty, plus extra for the super-thin so they won't hurt my head with their excessive weight.)

The color is called Shiny Dark Petrol. (Who know petrol was blue? :shrug:)

Anyway, I love 'em, but I still feel self-conscious in them because they're so...visible.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

38. East side?

They're plastic. Very cute. Black.

[SPKrazy]

39. Hart Shaffner Marx

whatever the hell that is

I liked them

they are wire frame across the top and no frame on the bottom

blended bifocals

first pair of glasses ever-age 44, last spring

:woohoo:

[idgiehkt]

40. I have the old Benetton frames from the 80's

that are really big and round. I have been wearing them since 1989. They are so scratched up I can barely see through them, but I only wear them at night so I don't run into walls, I wear contacts most of the rest of the time.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

41. Anne Klein frames- brown/ blue tint to the frames/ ultralite weight lenses

I mostly wear contacts.

It amuses me when I'm wearing glasses around the office and one of our newer colleagues says something along the lines of "huh- never knew you wore glasses." Yep. Sure need 'em, or their friends, the contact lenses in order to see...

[libnnc]

45. Mine are Guess. I like them alot.

[Critters2]

46. Gucci. I was looking for plastic frames, because when I wrestled with the beagle

my metal frames got bent, which is a pain when you have astigmatisms in both eyes. So, I was looking for the least obtrusive plastic frames I could find. Voila! Gucci.

The beagle likes 'em, too.
