Prescription glasses-best style for you??

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!!)

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!

DH hardly ever wears a tie, either. Dressing nice does not necessarily entail a suit. The only times he has worn a suit in the past 10 years have been interviews, weddings, funerals, and occasional fancy parties/dinners. He has not had to wear suit to work since the early 90s.
He wears really nice jeans and wool pants, and only wears chinos without pleats. He wears short sleeved button down shirts in checks and prints in the summer and sweaters in the winter. He also wears what women would call capris in the summer, with tee shirts, when not working. Mostly denim. Very popular for men in Europe and still get stares here.

If I put on a dress I end up looking like a really badly done up drag queen...so I play to my strengths and wear very tailored classic things; wool slacks with a beautiful hand, longer cashmere sweater, wool topcoat. I'm screwed for summer though.

I'm not keen to figure out contacts. Murienne I never thought of teal! I have mixed feelings about antique bronze..maybe. I'm not keen on tortoise shell or any brown colours against my face at this stage in life.
Some people with black hair and features look good in full black rim glasses.

I'm not sure there is such cheapies, Pax here in Canada. I've gone into chains like Lenscrafter and did find it limiting.
