Title: Are These Glasses Feminine?
Post by: JustZac on June 30, 2015, 02:00:00 AM
My husband and son say yes. My daughter says no. So...are they? I thought they were more masculine/hipster....

It could go either way, but I'd say they're pretty masculine.

IMO, frames are quite masculine, but temples... not very much.

I agree with the others. From the front the would probably be androgynous, but the thick side pieces are typically only on feminine glasses.

I think I'd have to go with more feminine. At first glance, they reminded me of the glasses "DB" wears for those of you who watch CSI los vegas, but they are more rounded underneath.

They have a curve to the top and bottom and the width of the sides is too much.

Your daughter is right.

It seems hipster masculine to me.

I'd say somewhat androgynous male hipster.

I think if you take off that pair of glasses and set them on a shelf to look at them, it would be difficult to determine what gender they may be intended for...  It really has more to do with the look and style of the individual wearing them.  If you like them, just wear them!  They help you see!

Thanks, guys! It is nice to not be blind, and glasses are so expensive.

Try zennioptical.  That's where I get my glasses.  $25 for the last two pairs I got vs $150 (the frames were only $8) for the last pair I bought before I started on zennioptical.

I think they are a more feminine version of masculine glasses. but what do I know! I don't wear glasses :P If you like them, then you should wear them.
