Would these glasses look okay on a girl?

Question

I just got these at my optometrists office, but she failed to inform me of the fact that they are for MEN. I don't think they look terribly awful, but what do you think? Would a girl look okay in these:

I felt a little better when I found these cover girl glasses which are very similar:

I got them because I have a wide face..

Answer 1

I think they look fine.Black glasses work for both guys and girls,so I wouldn't worry too much about them!

Answer 2

if you can make it work, go for it.

but i wouldn't wear them.

Answer 3

I would say if they look good on you, you're fine. Most frame styles any more are unisex... so I wouldn't worry that one frame vendor says they're a mens style.

Answer 4

What really matters is what YOU think of them. While I think they look great for a guy or a girl, it is you who has to look at yourself everyday and like what she sees. If you like them, keep them, no matter what anyone else thinks. That's how trends are started!

Answer 5

I am an optical wholesale frame rep.  I would say that those frames are a unisex style.  There are MANY frames out today that are made for men or women.  As long as your frame does not have a double bar across the bridge, you can be pretty safe.  Sometimes on a unisex style, there will be a color that would not be conducive for a man. (For example, a pink or purple frame would not be a mans color.  However, the shape might work for a man in a brown or black.)  I think that your choice of frames is just fine.  They are basic in shape and color and I would consider them as unisex.  Enjoy your new specs!!

Answer 6

They definitely look unisex.  I wouldn't worry about it :-)
