Prescription glasses-best style for you??

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.

They are a company out of China, it's all mail order. Not sure if there are restrictions for such things in Canada though.

Being in China is what started DH buying cool glasses. He bought 2 pair while on a business trip.

Progressives aren't all equal - there are the standard non-digital, and two higher levels of digital progressives - I think it has to do with the manufacturing process. I've learned the hard way those distinctions matter quite a lot. I've never been able to see with contacts - I've lots of things going on with my vision and I don't do well with the standard progressives either. And if you can use the standard progressives and move up to a higher level lens, then many people literally can't drop back down in the future.

I think it's safe to probably order single vision glasses online, I've young coworkers who do so, but I wouldn't risk it. I've enough problems when I go to the opticians!

Shootingstar - I think Teal would look great on you!

AZfiddle - I've a small face as well and have found that Jones New York frames are typically the only ones I can find around here that fit my face - and I still have to be careful they don't sit too far away from my eyes. I've had problems with prescriptions in this situation as the it prevents us from being able to really take advantage of the prescription. We figured it out and the optician was able to somehow adjust my frames to make it work but still it's a concern. Which brand have you found that works for you?

[Crankin]

The frames I have that I love are from a company called Kayla Designs.
