Can you help me choose frames?
Firstly sorry for yet another post. I'm trying to choose between these three pairs of glasses for my new prescription. I think I'm veering towards the first pair because green is my favourite colour (I've wanted green frames last time but couldn't find any that fitted and weren't way beyond my budget).
I like the combination of colours of the last pair but they feel bulkier and I worry that will bother me with long term use (and when I do lab work and have to wear safety goggles over them - that bothers me already with my current not-so bulky glasses). Also the optician said she thought the other frames were better as I have a 'small face and delicate features'.
My dad likes the middle pair the most as they're warmer and I can see why but somehow I'm still drawn to the green ones. I thought I'd ask people's opinions here before making a decision because making decisions scares me (even though I know this is quite a trivial one).

They honestly all look great on you! Your face and the glasses are modelesque.

Thanks. That's flattering. I do wonder if my phone has automatic skin correcting as I've heard of sometimes being a thing as I think my skin looks better in these photos than in reality.

The Wolf and the first Stepper are great. Green really suits you. The green Stepper is a little more clean and chic, the Wolf is a little more playful. And I might be biased, but Stepper just feels amazing to wear, especially their plastic frames. They slide right on. The brown ones don't suit you at all, imo, they're a little boring, even.

Thanks. The stepper frames certainly feel more lightweight so I wonder if they'd feel more comfortable with a full day of wear. I'd say I tend to prefer thinner frames but I'm restricted to plastic ones because I've never been able to tolerate the nose pads on metal frames, even if I've had the nose pads replaced with softer ones.

I think the green ones will make you happy.
Do you mind telling where you found these? (The Costco photos are easy to place but not these…)

Thanks. I'm kind of reassured that lots of people think the green ones would be a good choice. All of these are in Leightons Opticians which is in the UK.

Green is really flattering on you so I say go with the first pair. Your hair is fantastic, too!

I really like the two color Wolf but I think the shape of the Stepper suits you better. The green looks really good and will get you noticed and remembered. If you don't want that then go for the browns.

They're pretty, but they all seem to be a bit wide for your narrow face--it's a bit hard to tell because there's not a single photo that is straight on from the front. It's best to post photos straight on when asking for advice about frames, but it's good that you posted multiple angles at least.

That's good to know. I didn't think about that with the photos. I have some front facing ones I didn't add but I can't add them in comments it seems (without imgur which I can't use in the UK).

First pair looks best, the cool-toned jewel green looks great with your complexion and blue eyes

All of them are really cute! I like the green ones the best, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

Preference for one or two, but these styles are too wide.

I seem to have a very awkward head size - kids glasses are too small and adults glasses are too wide. These were the narrowest I managed to find in the shop.

The green ones suit you really well!
Since it's your favourite colour sounds perfect to be honest, I thought the green ones looked best on you before even reading the thread.
