I’m mostly wearing contacts here days, but next round of insurance I should get some back-up glasses.
Curious if anyone here has experience with honeycomb lenses and/or Transition XtraActive Gen? The former sounds like it would help with night driving glare and starbursts. The later is supposed to work while inside a vehicle - from crystal clear to super dark within a few minutes.

Jaysus these writers must just have AI do everything for them these days eh?
First, what the fuck is a “style hack”?
Then the article advises us to do like Daniel Craig and get a “huge pair of fuck off glasses” with thick rims like Cary Grant … followed by five pics of DC in which three out of the five show him wearing too-small wire-framed granny glasses.
Fuck off Esquire - your desperation to be relevant is palpable but your usefulness has been over with for at least five years. Same goes for GQ. It’s over.

I hate this whole notion of ‘style hacks’ because it’s always just fashion - not getting the right thing for the individual.
But speaking of heavy frames, I see Professor Mansplain has a lovely pair of Curry and Paxton Yvan 1886 frames (made famous by Michael Cain in The Ipcriss File). They look far less bold with his complexion and features. A beautiful frame that I’m sure they would look shit on me, as much as I like them.

I bought a few pairs of Theos last year, they are extremely well made and not too fashion forward.

I pretty much wear contacts all the time, but I keep a pair of RX glasses and sunglasses in the car for odd occasions when needed. I was thinking about recycling some frames I already have, when it’s time to upgrade them. Really not too fussed about how they look, as they just go on when I have a quick trip to the donut shop in the morning or similar. That said, I struggled to find a pic of Tom Ford Snowdens with clear lenses. I finally found one …. and they do look pretty bad!

Long my favourite frames, someone is now making them in a tone to suit my greying complexion. They even do a clip on sunglass if I wanted to try that again. But the whole bespoke thing is crazy, I don’t think I would know what exactly to get!

Those look cool, although I may be swayed by 007. Much cheaper than the small fortune I've spent on JMM frames.Cool revival, though I think they look pretty ick on most people:

I was actually in st my optometrist just this morning. I’ve gone back to my trusted AO Original Pilot frames for sunglasses (switching to silver with a G15 tint and blue flash this time) and dropping fresh lenses on an old set of tortoise GL Hampton frames. Sometimes it’s good to stick with what works for you.

I impressed or horrified my family the other night at dinner when I complimented the waiter on his glasses and asked if they were JMM. He was thrilled a customer spotted them. My in-laws were amazed that a waiter was wearing $1200 frames. I suspect that didn’t help his tip.
