    I had loads of coworkers order from Zenni Optical, not as high quality as your local optician, but worked just great. One bought cool frames and colors so she had probably 10 pairs, she loved to coordinate with her outfits.

    She must know my DH....
    He started collecting frames about 5-6 years ago. Whenever he gets a new prescription, he buys a new pair and keeps the old ones and has the prescription changed. He uses his vision benefit every year for glasses and pays for his contacts.
    Then, there's the shoes. I call him Mr. Ismelda.

    Well I went Christmas shopping last night and came home with two new pairs of boots for me, so I can't criticize...

    (But they were Uggs on sale!!! Only $99!! And two of my go-to pairs of boots are worn out and read to fall apart!! So I got 2 pairs of Uggs for the price of 1!!)

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Ha, ha, NY.
    Pax, about 12 years ago, DH started traveling to Europe for business. At once, he decided he no longer wanted to look like a suburban dad and totally changed his clothing, etc. He no longer travels, but it stuck. I'm proud of him, in that he is fit enough to pull it off, at age 60.

    Meanwhile my partner profoundly dislikes wearing a tie ever since he retired. He has face profile and beard that looks handsome when he wears a tie. Now it's buying nice looking fleece and semi-athletic jackets for him.

    My DH lives in t-shirts and shorts. I can't imagine him in a tie, fancy shoes, or anything like that. Of course, being retired and primarily hanging out in warm climates, that is part of it.

    He did just get some cool new specs, though!
