I buy my glasses at the supermarket or gas station. I dont do statement glasses, I want cheap and functional

Yes, I call them cafe glasses and get interesting frames with colored lenses.

If I could buy many pairs somewhere cheap like Warby Parker, it would be fun. But my prescription is tricky and I've only found one optometrist and lab who can get it exactly right so stick with them and pay more than I should.

I got the second cheapest pair at Costco. They look like this. I guess that they make a statement. Hopefully it's I'm a trendsetter, not I'm a serial killer

Those are definitely serial killer glasses R6? Are you gay? If so - you've got terrible taste.

The Puerto Rican FexEx delivery lady who comes to our office has the exact same glasses as r6.

To the contrary, r7. Those are very hip right now. i was just in Europe and saw a lot of good-looking guys wearing them.

Then watch your back R8.

Luz looks good in them.

R9 - we both know that R6 isn't hip. Not even remotely hip. He purchased them because they were cheap.

1970s serial killer, Fer sure.

[R9] wire frames are this summer’s thing, yes—but not in any aviator style.

by Anonymousreply 14July 16, 2025 5:50 PM

Identity theft is not a joke, r6.

Thank you r9. I got them 2 years ago and they've gotten a lot of compliments. I feel like they're the next big thing and when we need glasses to represent this era, these will be it. I also have some oversized tortoiseshell glasses that also bring to mind the early to mid 80s
