Are black eyeglass frames too hard to wear unless you’re gorgeous? I love the look but am 1) not gorgeous and 2) getting older. Though I often see older women in them (silver hair etc) and think they look so striking. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Last time I picked frames, I went to a local shop and tried on a bunch, took selfies wearing my favorite styles. Then later I looked at the pics and compared.

I like the style but feel that on me, they’re less flattering than the rimless. [ Reply | More

Are they still doing try on at home during COVID? For me it is more about fit and comfort even if it "looks" good. I had to try three different similar-looking styles to find the one that fit comfortably. [ Reply | More

My mom has white hair and wears big Iris Apfel-type black glasses. I'm not sure what counts as "gorgeous," but I think it's more a matter of style and confidence. [ Reply | More
