Black Rimmed Nerdy Glasses Thread

[Vampyrvargfesten]

tried on some dita thick frame glasses recently.. didnt like.

not feelin it when its 'too nerdy' or 'cheap hipster looking' which is how many glasses frames can appear. i don't wanna cop thick, black and come off as "oh, did you get those glasses at UO" or something

I WANT CLASSY AND REFINED

So the Oliver Peoples' store was more or less clueless about the NDG collaboration. Are there any other OP models people can recommend?

I might see if I can find this nearby and see how it looks on my face.

if your actually in SD and called the fashion valley store I'd recommend going in the store vs calling because there's one female employee who is a bitch to everyone who calls. last time I was in there they has the NDG frames. hope this helps.

+rep

everyone who has met her had the same complaint. I'm not sure if she own/runs the spot but she has been there for a while.

i've sent two people (who both made some pretty good purchases) to that OP shop in fashion valley. i specifically told them to go to the asian dude or the white chick. ive had a bad experience with the asian chick. im not hating, im just highlighting.

I like you. I think you're my new favorite poster.

But god, have any of you been to the APC store in Soho NYC?

There's this one crinkled old hag with an accent that is positively dreadful. Last time I was there, I purchased a shitload, and basically was followed, with her not being the least bit constructive, and an absolute ice queen.

I think i'm swearing off APC. Most of their crap is well, pretty crappy.

Im selling my number (n)ine frames in the supermarket for half the price its going for, if anyones interested.

^^^ I wanna, but the problem is, with frames it's hard to buy without seeing how they look on you first.

Those look really, really nice!

Can someone possibly identify the glasses in this video at the beginning? I'm just kind of curious, as I doubt I could pull such a thick frame. They look great so I wouldn't mind knowing what other frames this company might produce. Check the 8 second mark for a close-up.

tried these at Eye Society in Costa Mesa. their price was $285

the fit is somewhere between an Oliver Peoples "Riley" and "Sheldrake". get this if you are a fan of that roundier shape.

does anyone recognize the glasses brandon boyd wears in the incubus "black heart inertia" music video? you can get a good look at them at the 0:08 mark of the video.

what are the best looking frames currently available on discount sites like zenni?

none really. I bought a few pairs since they're cheap and I wear these once in a while but they're pretty shitty.
