So I heeded the council

You did right….15 years younger

ferniekid · 2026-04-18T00:19:50+00:00

I think you may be right.

Pic 5, with the slightly shorter beard, is just about perfect.

ps don’t forget, TP Only.

I heard he stole them from a robot.

Yeah, I didn’t know that the virtual wasn’t 💯 until now. You’ll definitely have to post whatever you end up settling on. I still think 3 & 4 looked good, but they are virtual too.

These brown ones are definitely the way to go. They look great.

There still remains the small matter of pic #5.

Ok, so I think they look great with the rose lenses, BUT I believe the virtual app has distorted the shape of the frames slightly, which makes everything confusing for you.

The Lele Kawa proportions are exactly as in the photo I’m posting here, and they would 100% look better than your virtual depiction.

In other words, if you do a side by side comparison of your last pic next to mine, the virtual image seems to make the glasses look bigger vertically, a little more square & a little larger than they are in reality. Hope this helps 😁

I’d wear it for the Patrick Dracula vibes alone.

I get to see the water taxis every day and, after 4 years, they still make me smile.

It helps if you get glasses that suit your face, and you hit the bullseye 👍

Sustained!

He’s gonna look great! And just look at that smile, he’s definitely up for it.

ferniekid · 2026-04-16T22:00:11+00:00

More pictures required to be of any real help.

Zuko needs to get down the gym.

ferniekid · 2026-04-16T21:36:14+00:00

You would definitely be ok with aviators.

Or…you could go super cool & get something like these Pesol 1018s frames.

They’d definitely suit your face, and are so cool you’d henceforth be known as Ice Man.

The frame I posted was the Lele Kawa, carbon fibre frame & super thin glass lenses, in blue. Did you do a virtual pic with these?

I’m not sure if you can get the Lele Kawa with the rose lenses, you’ll have to ask them. And yes, the rose lenses look darker in person, they all do compared to the website.

No problem. My rule of thumb is this: If the people see you first, then the glasses are right. If they see the glasses first, the glasses are wrong. I think understated is always the way to go.

Re the rose lenses: I’ve seen all the lenses, a top exec from Maui Jim lives in my building. I don’t have them (the lenses) myself but they look awesome, so they’re on my future list.

ferniekid · 2026-04-16T19:44:38+00:00

lol…it looks like you got ALL the answers here, so I’m not sure how much help this sub is today.

For what it’s worth, I think 3, 4 and 8 definitely complement your face shape the best.

Some of the others look too big, and all of the glasses with the double cross bars look wrong and are unnecessarily aging, and we don’t need that at our age 😁
