Are these glasses too 'attention seeking'?

[zagaraz]

I've worn contacts throughout my late teens and early 20s and after an incident decided to switch to glasses and they have been a part of my style now.

I currently have cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1140/7330/products/oliver-peoples-0OV5389D__1666_030A-eyeglasses_2000x.jpg?v=1610662570 and images.ray-ban.com/is/image/RayBan/8053672430721__002.png?impolicy=RB_Product&width=1024&bgc=%23f2f2f2.

I work in a tech company where there is no dress code and many of us wears birkenstocks so being 'professional' is not really an issue. Saw these the other day cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1140/7330/products/ScreenShot2020-05-27at9.18.51AM_2000x.png?v=1590596646 and I love them! Tried them on and I think I look good in them but am worried if they're a bit too 'look at me' IYSWIM?

I'm not very edgy still wise, mostly look like i.pinimg.com/236x/58/66/3d/58663da8791d0f98622dceb5924d9cfd--denim-jeans-blue-jeans.jpg half the time and i.pinimg.com/564x/e2/9c/ab/e29cab0d46945597bb0380c1fec7132b.jpg the other half the time.

What's the verdict?

Sorry, wasn't clear. First 2 images are of my current glasses, third one is the one I'm thinking of getting!

When shopping for anything ask yourself:

Do I like it/them ?
Can I afford it/them ?

If the answer is yes to both, buy it / them.

I think they're awesome glasses btw.

The round ones? I like them.

I was actually expecting them to be far more “out there” than that! They’re lovely, very smart. It’s fashionable now to make glasses a statement if you wear them. I am -9.50 in both eyes with other visual issues and wear my glasses all the time now and I choose frames that are bright and bold. If I’m going to wear them I might as well flaunt them!

I don't think any of those frames are in any way attention seeking. I'm 52 and work in a staid kind of environment. I'd say just go for it. I don't think you're going to give Christopher Biggins or Timmy Mallet a run for their money.

They make a statement. If you feel confident wearing them go for it. They would look crap on me as I prefer more traditional shapes.

And wouldn't have the confidence to wear them

I like my glasses to be a fashion accessory but I also don't want them to be too 'distracting' if that makes sense!

Was also looking at aviators as I love them when I see them on others but I look completely rubbish in them!

I love quirky glasses! Get them!

I bought some transparent pink plastic ones last year after trying a dozen pairs I didn't like (think old-school granny glasses!). I fell in love with them and think they suit me but I haven't worn them yet after I posted a picture on SM and several of my friends made unkind comments.

I agree with others. Have fun. If you like them, go for them. I presume they aren't from the type of place that does a buy one get one half price. I often try to get a striking pair and a more conservative pair, or as I look after glasses and my prescription doesn't change much I can use an old pair.

Go for it!

I like all of them and actually don't think the new ones are that much of a leap from your current glasses.

I'm looking for more interesting glasses currently. Everything in local opticians seems to be slight variations on essentially the same thing.

I work in a pretty conventional environment and engage with civil servants a lot - I've definitely seen a few people wearing glasses similar to #3 and they look great!

Nothing odd or attention-seeking about about these glasses! They look fine. I was expecting something goofy like bright yellow wide frames with a pattern or something sticking out of them XD

From the title I was expecting something a la Dame Edna Evridge, or 1970s Elton John .....

These are a bit more attention seeking if you decide you want to be noticed a little more.

I think they are classic lines and elegant. I understand where you are coming from but have to say while they are fashionable I think they are fundamentally are classic lines.

The first two other ones that she actually owns, she's asking about the third one.

The concept of ‘attention seeking’ glasses is so very sad. We mustn’t look like we want attention, now! The horror!

So very depressing.

Oh no!! Wear them!! I bought my first pair of more statement glasses a few years ago and a ‘friend’ called them ‘interesting’….

I ignored her, wore them anyway and now I bloody love my more distinctive glasses (and they’re actually pretty tame really!)

Do they suit your face? If they do, and you can afford them, buy them.

I love those round ones. If they look good on you, get them.

Agree with @Tsort. If you like them, get them. Honestly, I don't think they're out there at all, rather classic in fact.

Do you keep thinking of them? If so, isn't it telling you to go for it?
I like your style and i think they will go well and look professional.
Do come back and update us !
