I am a person who does not buy clothes or shoes online b/c I ‘just need to try it on.’ Despite that, I bought these frames b/c a) my old glasses were basically done (not opening/sitting properly, six years old...), b) the price was pretty unbeatable, and c) the online tools (the selfie thing, even though I am terrible at selfies; seeing photos on others, etc.) made it look pretty good. I am SO happy that I ignored my strong inner skeptic b/c these are GREAT frames. They are truly a dark, rich red (not fire engine) and the shape is flattering. They are on trend without being so trendy that they will be hideous in a year or two. The only reasons I am giving four stars instead of five are: 1) fabrication/delivery took rather longer than I expected (two weeks or more); and 2) the nose bridge could do with a *slight* adjustment to fit my specific nose and since the bridge is full plastic, not nose pads, I can’t make that adjustment myself. With that said, I love love love these frames and am so happy I bought them.
