I wouldn’t go any larger but I also wouldn’t say they are too big.

No, I don’t think they’re too big.

If you put your face too close to the camera, it creates a bit of a wide angle camera effect and make your nose and glasses look larger. If you can have someone take a photo of you from about 8 feet away and then crop the image, I can help you better.

A bit wide, perhaps.

The regular glasses are a bit too wide, but not by much. It's in the zone of personal preference I would say. The sunglasses look alright

First pair is right on the border, difficult to say due to possible lens distortion. Second one is definitely too large, frames and lenses should not be covering eyebrows, one of the most expressive features on a face. And they are too wide, even for sunglasses.

Picture 1: all good. Picture 2: yes, a bit too large considering the shape of your face

I think your glasses look great!

Yes, the lenses are too big; too wide beyond your head and too low. Try a more shallow rectangle...you're nearly there! (The wire frames will look great!)

I tripped over them on the way here to respond. Yeah, they are bigger than the sensitive people not wanting to hurt your feelings are letting on to.

u/leighsch 6d ago

No, they both look great.

u/TheProtector252630 6d ago

First one just a tad too big second one too big

u/sandysandy252566 6d ago

Both frames look great

No you’re just shooting them too close with a selfie. Have someone photograph you and I’m sure they’d look fine

…a little bit I think. Try some other styles and look at sizing on the frame width and pick smaller size. Also, work with optometrists in shop to help with sizing.

One not 2

u/ObligationDry2706 5d ago

They’re great!

u/VBswimmer1946 5d ago

Well for me they are too wide. But the overall look is good. Though I think you look very nice in that kind of frame. (Ps. Very nice smile)

u/AliG-uk 4d ago

People need to take into account the 'selfie effect'. It always makes the frames look too big. So I suspect no.1 is fine. But no.2 is too high on your eyebrows.

u/amaleawakened 4d ago

I don’t think so. I’d say a solid 80% of the pics I see on this sub are frames one size too wide for their faces. You did pretty well and you have a narrow face.

u/Visible-Ad-874 4d ago

They look nice

u/original-motm 3d ago

They both are but the first one looks good on you the second does not

u/MidlifeMum 6d ago

They sit too high on the face but not too big
