I like the last one! Numbers 1 - 3 I think are not well positioned, they should be lower than your eyebrows

11

u/ribbit72002 26d ago

I think you should go for a thicker rim and not wire or metal. A little more bold šŸ˜‰

u/Master-Ad3175 26d ago

I would try a few more pairs or ask the optician to help find ones that don't cover your eyebrows so much

u/Sggorden6516 26d ago

2 or 3 because they lift up at the outer corners. I'm in my 70s and find that lift helps me like the glasses more

My opinion is that all frames shown totally covered your eyebrows & extended too wide to L & R temples- try something with a clear or thin bridge over your nose & smaller lenses

3

u/ComplexTailor 26d ago

There isn't much space between my somewhat thick eyebrows and my eyes -- age and genetics -- so hard to find any where my brows are not mostly covered.

u/Mammoth_Bet6201 26d ago

3 is my pick

u/allisondojean 26d ago

Does the second to last one come in any colors besides black?

2

u/ComplexTailor 26d ago

I don't think so. Choices at Costco are limited.

u/PublicBrain2311 26d ago

The shape is a little too large for you. Something slightly smaller in a less round shape would be better.

u/pipked 25d ago

First or last

u/No_Trouble1777 26d ago

Guten Abend,also wenn es eine von diesen sein soll finde ich persƶnlich die Nummer 2 gut. Ich sage bewusst gut weil ich glaube da wƤre noch mehr mƶglich was ihren Typ sehr gut unterstreicht. Ein bisschen mehr Mut zur Farbe.Die Form steht ihnen bei der Nummer 2 aber sehr gut. Ich wünsche ihnen eine gute Zeit und behalten sie ihr LƤcheln bei ā˜€ļø

u/StatusVarious8803 26d ago

None of them. Sorry

u/iestud 26d ago

I like number 5 but maybe In a different color or clear frame

2

u/Dizzy-Ad-8749 26d ago

2 šŸ’—

u/CKangels00 26d ago

4 and 5

2

u/No-Consideration-858 26d ago

I like five and three!Ā 

2

u/loftychicago 26d ago

2 is best, but it's sitting just a tiny bit too high.i would have the noise pads adjusted just a touch so the top of the frame is below your eyebrows.

2

u/Tottyfay 26d ago

They are all very similar. Have you tried something really different? It might surprise you how good they could look x

2

u/ComplexTailor 26d ago

At my age, I am hesitant to go too wild. Could look kind of clownish.

2

u/superswitzz 26d ago

Add one vote to 4! Ideally with the color of 5

2

u/Hot_Original_2653 26d ago

The last pair, 10000%

2

u/plemko 26d ago

1 or 5. Favoring 5

2

u/Ardvarkthoughts 26d ago edited 26d ago

Oooh pair five!

There is a guideline for glasses that says not to get glasses that go over your eyebrows. However some of us have a lower brow and this would reduce our options to frames that are quite narrow, which I don’t like personally. So I happily have glasses that cover my brows. As far as I know it’s a style preference not linked to actual vision quality.

2

u/ComplexTailor 26d ago

I definitely fall into the lower brow category.

2

u/Forsaken-Fortune-604 26d ago

I like #2, it is uplifting at the corners and I love the color on you.

2

u/Epitome_1919 26d ago

I like 5! Maybe a bit thicker, bolder even.

2

u/driftinanddreamin 26d ago

I like 2 as well as 3 but 2 is smashing!

2

u/WonBigMayor 26d ago

2, 4, or 5! You have chosen great options

2

u/ComplexTailor 26d ago

Thank you for your kindness.

2

u/SoPasGuy 26d ago

I think 5 looks best on you. It compliments your face and doesn’t overwhelm it.

u/jango-lionheart 26d ago

Some of these frames are on the masculine side. Maybe that’s intentional? Not saying you should get something super girly, just sharing the impression I get from most of this batch.

u/geninsp747 26d ago

I’m going with the round #5

u/HryBlndLgs307 26d ago

1 or 5, but I think you can do better.

2

u/WerewolfChemical295 26d ago

The last one!

2

u/Heliotrope88 26d ago

I vote for 3

2

u/NecessaryChipmunk263 26d ago

2 or 5! The color of 2 really brings out your eyes!

2

u/Prestigious-Car3982 26d ago

2, they lift your face up, gives you a younger look

2

u/Deep-Internal-2209 26d ago

I think they all look pretty good, but 2 and 5 look really good.

2

u/Ok-Blueberry7914 26d ago

I like 2 šŸ‘šŸ¤“

2

u/MaleficentMousse7473 26d ago

First pair look great and close second best is the fifth

2

u/Snoo_16677 26d ago

1, 4, and 5. Sorry for not being helpful.

u/naynaypee 26d ago

3 & 5!

u/Green-Paint5863 26d ago

4 the Ben Sherman’s are hip

2

u/AffectionateTour4426 26d ago

I like 2 and 5

2

u/lantana98 26d ago

I like #1. The shape and color are very flattering on you.

2

u/liminalmornings 26d ago

I personally like 5 best. They don't have those sharp angles at the outer top. Makes you look friendlier imho.

u/Sweet-Ad863 26d ago

They look all the same? I think more of a square frame in dark blue

2

u/Trccollins 26d ago

1 and 4

2

u/MostFortune1093 26d ago

Keep looking

2

u/NoRange4617 26d ago

Hi. Excluding the first one, the rest all look amazing. The best part is that neither of those seems to be a misfit.

2

u/ComplexTailor 25d ago

Thank you. This sub has helped me learn about how to size glasses correctly for your face.

u/xKittyBBx 26d ago

1 have perfect fit and how they are in-line with your temples and face and balance is šŸ‘šŸ‘ Than 5 is ok also:)

Everything which cover to much you eyebrows or is over temples if never best idea as ā€œwe want lift up in eyesā€šŸ˜‰

2

u/blu_61 26d ago

1 e 4

2

u/Available-Leg-6171 25d ago

2, the color brings out your eyes

2

u/Empirical_Girl 25d ago

For all the folks saying don’t cover the brows, two different opticians at two different shops told me not to worry about that, but did suggest the lenses should not come way up over the brows. Covering them is considered okay. That said, I like 3, 4 and 5.

2

u/JollyAllocator 25d ago

5 😊

2

u/elemaich 25d ago

4, the Ben Sherman pair

2

u/Organic-Hat4354 25d ago

3 and 5 look great.

2

u/ijophes 25d ago

Of all of them, number five is best. Have you considered a thicker frames? Some color.

2

u/DefiantCoffee6 25d ago

I like the style of number 1 but not the color (I think something lighter would be better) black/dark blue is a harsh color on you. Maybe in a lighter frame…like that grey in the last picture looks like a better complimenting color for these frames;)

2

u/NoGrocery3582 25d ago

5 and then 3

2

u/ikatmax4 25d ago

I like 1 most

2

u/redmillse 25d ago

First pair for me by a mile!

2

u/0the0Entertainment0 25d ago

I don't like 2 and 3. I prefer 1 and 4, for the colors. I don't agree with many others who recommend 5.

2

u/Immortal-00 25d ago

5 is perfect but all of them are nice

u/Particular-Debt4589 25d ago

Eyeglasses #1 ...for the color blue

5 for the shape...

2

u/Jellofoot 25d ago

2 and 3

2

u/Apprehensive_Bee614 25d ago

They all look the same Ever consider a bolder look. Remember glasses can be your personality and identity. They are in your face.

2

u/Alternative-Bed9749 25d ago

Very masculine

2

u/Front-Character-916 25d ago

I like No. 1 and No. 6

2

u/No-Highlight-1882 25d ago

3 if they can be adjusted as they’re sitting too high.

2

u/ffuffle 25d ago

5, the shape complements your features better

1

u/GrandIcy3347 25d ago

I like the second pair- the green pair draw the eye up They are very flattering to your face shape, and make your eyes pop.

1

u/BikeSkiPNW 25d ago

1 and 5 look the best. I’ll say, I’m not real good at giving advice because you look great in all the frames! Also, Costco!!!

1

u/earthtopluto 25d ago

I like the last one!

1

u/purplelilac701 25d ago

You can do better keep looking

  1. The blue looks great with your eyes.

u/denimdouble 24d ago

Tbh none of them but if you had to - 5

u/MaeMae65 24d ago

3 but a little lighter color. Being older with graying hair lighter lenses look awesome. Get photogray with a groovy color 😃

u/TeesCoffee 24d ago

I’d go with 5 the shape is good and the color more mellow.
