So, it’s been eight years since I’ve owned a new pair of glasses. Eight. Freaking. Years. That is WAY too long. So, while I’m in need of new glasses, I thought I’d try a bit of an experiment.
I recently discovered an online glasses (and contact lens) store that I’m keen on ordering from, but I can’t make up my mind.
A list of all of their men’s frames can be found here and I’m attaching a recent (rather grumpy, apparently) picture to this post.
Your mission is to pick a (few) pair(s) of glasses, then comment on this post to let me know which you like. While I (And, let’s be honest, my wife) retain veto rights, I’m pretty open to anything, so the pair that seems to gather the most attention has a darn good shot of being my new pair. Also, while I’m not going to say ‘money isn’t an object’, I do have benefits that’ll be covering the purchase.
So spread the word and help me go shopping!

I tend to be a bit conservative in my eyewear choices, so I went with simple, elegant options:
Joseph Marc 4001
Kam Dhillon 3001
Ltede 1006
Calvin Klein 425
Tommy,…. Diesel 0081 ….this is you.
Dearest Tommy,
Put me in a room with a selection of frames as fast as the list you’ve linked to and it would be hours before you saw me again. However, seeing as you appear to be on a bit of a, shall we say, dealine, I’ll skip the nitty-gritty.
I have a personal tendency to lean towards darker plastic frames but I think there is at least one in here that does not fall into that category.
Gucci 1578 Walnut
Ltede 1015 Gun
Ltede 1034 Brown & Silver
Marc Jacobs 0844 Burgundy
That’s all you’re getting!
