With the aging demographics of this site, this seems relevant. It looks like we have a few threads on advice for lenses and prescription advise but not on actual fashion/styles of frames. I used to manage a chain retail optical store, so I've always had some interest (and lots of different frames thanks to a friendly optometrist and optician who still hook me up cheap).
I have a fairly strong prescription so I tend toward plastic frames or smaller metal that won't show the thickness on the edges (I always get the high index thin lenses and usually a polished edge as well if the lens can be seen at all). I've got a fairly narrow head as well, so the wider/larger frames don't ever look quite right - just noticed all three pairs I'm wearing these days are 53/17.
I've worn the Ray Ban 8901 for the most part over the last few years. I've had other pairs but for comfort and look, I keep coming back to them.
My wife loves the way the Nike 7090 look on me, so I wear them second most, again they're lightweight and very comfortable.
I have a pair of Polo PH1157 frames as well (gunmetal colour), I'll wear for work sometimes or in more formal settings. It takes some time adjusting to the nose pieces from the plastic frames, so they get bumped down a bit.
So, what is everyone wearing these days?
