Buying spectacles online with home trail?

I'm a full time spectacles wearer and I blimmin' hate them.

I'm wearing an ancient pair currently because I always struggle to find any that I like AND suit me... I don't know if I have a funny face or something, but most seem to look ridiculous on me (I get my eyes tested a Specsavers and my local one has a pitiful selection too).

I want to buy some online as the choice of styles seems to be greater, but I really need to try them on first.

Can anyone recommend any sites, other than Glasses Direct, which have a good selection of frames available for a free/low cost home trial please?

Thank you!

My friend uses this place and has always been very happy. It irritates me because it has a 'search by gender' option, but, if you overlook that they're supposed to be good. He's used them for years.

Having spent a ridiculous amount of money on spectacles at an optician's in 2016, I now buy online from Mister Spex.
There is a large selection & I can try them on virtually.
They usually arrive in 5 to 10 days and I can either go to a partner optician or a branch of Mister Spex to get them fitted properly.
They are also about €1k cheaper than a regular optician.
