Okay ,seriously, where do you lot get your glasses.

Ok, so like, I need glasses right. And have needed them for quite a while.

But like, every store I go into, Specsavers, Boots Opticians, D&As etc., I find nothing but ridiculous gaudy designer ones with totally non-congruent colour schemes which just look weird and look like something a camp male fashion designer would wear, or there's the million and one pairs of old peoples Aviator style glasses. (seriously, how much goddamn pairs do they need). Yet I see many people walk about with DECENT glasses which don't look like OAPs glasses or spectacles crossed with a stressed paint-mixer.

I very rarely am able to find anything inbetween these two, or if I do, they're rimless or tiny little lenses.

Where on earth does someone find some decent sorta square rimmed slightly-emo glasses these days? x.x;;

Where do you lot go for yours?

I got mine from Specsavers. The lighting in there is bad though. I thought they were black and they turned out to be a very dark green. They still look good though :smile:

I get a lot of compliments.

I get mine in a local opticians. The chain stores are more likely to have generic "fashionable" ones. Don't underestimate the local smaller shops.

I use Glasses Direct

I used Glasses Crafter and bought a gorge pair of Swarovski frames that are purrrrrrfect for just £30 incl. lenses...

Bargain!
:smile:

Boots!

Ahhh. So this is where you all get them. X3

Soliek, would there be any chance of a site which I can upload a photo to, to see how they would look on my face first? >_>

All of my old glasses have been from Specsavers, but I'm trying to find a shop stocking a certain pair of frames by Storm so I can try them on....but it looks like I'm going to have to request them from Glasses Direct :frown:

I've actually just got some new frames today from Specsavers. They're the first designer pair I've ever had; really comfortable and quite cool.
Look a bit like this, made by F CUK.

I use Specsavers, and I have a cool pair of Ralph Lauren glasses which are worth about £135, I think. However, I'm still in education so it costs me about £30. :biggrin:
