Title: Which glasses should I get?

I've been looking for a pair to replace my old somewhat androgynous ones, and after allowing for my conservative tastes and narrow head I've narrowed it down to two pairs. They're fairly similar. I didn't take a photo of the glasses themselves, so have a close up instead.
Pair A

Pair B

Anyone who wants to weigh in on the hair is also welcome. I try and get the spiking a little more even than that, but wearing a hat and hairnet for work turns it into a stubborn fauxhawk.

They are so similar that it is almost impossible to choose. Both look good, but perhaps the first has a slight edge, in terms of flattering the face.
The hair looks good. I have no problems with that.

Both glasses work well for you so either ones would work, but I personaly like the second ones better.

I think Pair A is most flattering on your face. There's something off about Pair B's shape.

I vote A if you're going for which pair looks more masculine.

They seem pretty similar to me, but I think I like pair A better.

I agree with the others. Pair A works better for you.

Pair A it is then. I liked those ones from the start because of the angle of the lenses... not that you'll be able to see them properly with the anti-reflection coating on. :D

I know I'm a little late, but I'd go with pair A too. :D

I'm voting for pair A here. The thicker sides of pair B and detailing on them makes them look a bit more feminine than pair A.

I like the first pair too.
I lost my glasses last week and had to order another pair, but they were only like $15 haha. If you ever need glasses, just order from http://www.zennioptical.com (http://www.zennioptical.com) I have like 6 pairs of glasses from there. You can't try em on obviously, but they're so cheap you can order like 6 pair and still not come to the amount spent at an actual eyeglass place. But if you need bifocal lenses, I think it gets a bit more expensive.
I made the mistake of buying glasses at an eyeglass store and paid waaaay too much, they're so over priced it's not funny.
