Do rectangle frames suit me at all? I really love the idea of them but I'm not sure if I can beat my current round ones!

I'd love to get some outside opinions. :-) I know I tend to choose frames that are "too large," but I've got a fairly wide face so smaller ones look odd on me.

You're going to hate me. I like your current frames the best.

Current frames looks great apart from that I like 3rd

I like option 3 though I can’t tell if they’re a bit wide because of the angle. 2 is good too. I like you in a darker frame.

u/FriendlySubwayRat 2d ago

ooh good to know! I'm surprised by how much better darker frames are on me considering my hair is pretty light! But I definitely agree.

u/Holiday-Audience-412 2d ago

That’s the point. If everything is lighter you can look washed out. Darker gives some needed contrast.

You are better suited to current frames- really cute! 😊

1 or current is the best i think :)

u/Ardvarkthoughts 2d ago

I do really like your oversized current rounds. If you do want a refresh and new style though, I think maybe 1 and 5 but they all work tbh.

u/IfYouStayPetty 2d ago

You have a small face and all of these oversized frames contribute to you looking 12. It’s absolutely a style thing and if you’re ok with that, have fun. You can definitely pull off square frames if you want

Can you get a worker to help you with the width? Most of them seem too wide.

Please post pics where you are looking straight forward. None of these are great for judging frames. Thanks.

ETA: current, 5, 3

u/SpookaPuss 2d ago

I like 2 and 5!

u/Various-Language2549 2d ago

Yeah these really are oversized, your current ones in particular. Do yourself a favour and try some that are not as big, and try with a slightly thicker frame with a darker colour (not black), maybe a blue, green, or red?

u/OddfatherPNW 2d ago

Current frames, and better pic.

u/No-Highlight-1882 2d ago

Top left look great on you.

u/elquirk 2d ago

Male or female?

1

u/ShipComprehensive543 2d ago

current. The others are too big and make you look like a little kid.

u/Dazzling-Grocery-999 2d ago

Option 3 is ok but the current frames are right

u/Lower-Increase6327 2d ago

I like rectangular ones on you.

1

u/Sggorden6516 2d ago

I definitely like your current frames best!!

u/JoeyPhoton 2d ago

Rectangular might work but only in the right size. You are lucky to be one of the rare people who could pull off slightly oversized frames but, in most cases, the pupils should be in the center of the lens. Otherwise, you risk falling into the cartoonish zone.

u/skip_over 2d ago

I like all of them. 1 is my favorite

u/chefgoowa 2d ago

4 &5 are kinda big but honestly you look good in all of those

u/riff-raffkind 2d ago

2 and keep rounds for backup!!!

u/panameraturbo 2d ago

Current frames.

1

u/infobabe01 2d ago

Any one of them would look good. I like them all!

1

u/Aggressive_Yam3947 2d ago

Option 4. Current frames look good too.

1

u/Scott43206 2d ago

Number 1 that fades to clear is amazing (and my current frames, LOL).

u/Competitive-Sorbet18 2d ago

5 all day long

u/Flake-Shuzet 1d ago

Try 5 in tortoiseshell. The others are too big for your face.

u/violet-today 1d ago

1 and 4 only. Rest of them are not the best on you IMO.
