As the new year unfolds, new heavy and trascendental questions, doubts and diatribes arise and take their toll off the calendar.

That's why with this rare and crescently scarce free time I've got while I'm writing this, I ask for a bit of your time to help me solve something.

Considering new frame.

Which one do you think suits better my goon shrek wack face?

Above: Rounded Ray Bans which have served me well for the past decade.

Below: Moscot Lemtosh 49. Not that I want to look like Johnny Deep, specially not the most recent look he sported in public. I just like it's thickness and the hateful nerd look they provide. They're robust af and apparently a cultural icon, which I don't give a nut about.

Well, let me know.

I would go for a different style, maybe a saddle bridge too... it's usually more comfortable. Have a look at the Oliver Peoples Brisdon or the Moscot Hitsik (maybe the arms are going to be short, though...). The Hitsik is like a rounder, better looking New Wayfarer.

The 2 glasses you showed have those "elbows" that stick out, and that makes them less sporty and maybe like a "heavier" look...

Another suggestion of style, but this is assuming you like big glasses, have a look at a Cazal metal frame. See if you like it.

Glasses are an important purchase if you are going to wear them all the time, so it is worth to shop around and try many options. And glasses need to be tried... it's impossible to have an accurate idea of how a certain model would look on you without trying it first.

Finally, if you are considering an acetate frame, a lighter frame colour will take off "weight" off thick acetate, and you will be able to see the metal core inside of the arms, which looks cool. So if you went for the Lemtosh, try to take advantage of the multiple options that model offers in terms of acetate colour, from translucent, to shades of semi translucent acetate, to black.

Another brand that looks either great or terrible is Cutler & Gross. Unfortunately, they are too much acetate for me, but on some people those glasses look awesome.

Focusing on the style in your pictures, you may also consider some of the rounder models by Oliver Peoples, like the Sheldrake, which is one of the classics...

Oh, WOW. Thanks for such a comprehensive opinion and information.

I have had a pair of Cutler and Gross much in the style of the Lemtosh. I liked them lots. I've always gone for the thick black acetate as I only wear my glasses in certain circumstances and I need them to be as sturdy as possible for the constant handling.
Only metal frame I've had were a pair of Etro (Milano) which were AWESOME. Light, slim, rounded blue metal frame. I forgot them in a cab...

I'm leaning towards the Lemtosh. I like the Guy Ritchie movies vibe of them.

Creating my own "silence" brings me comfort and new perspectives.

I often find myself being ashamed for not being "my best self"...

Maybe your best self is you, in each moment, doing the best you can with what you know and what you have...

Trusting that this is just today. Trusting that it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be here forever.

Alright @tpj, you asked and you shall receive, well sort of... I'm not as jacked as @Jerad though.

Happy Halloween everyone! I wish I could go to the annual Halloween parade we have here. Haven't been there in 2 years :( I'll be taking my nephew and little cousins trick or treating this Monday with this Halloween "outfit" instead. Rate it please! Yes, I take Halloween very seriously.
