I'm getting new glasses, and I'm not sure if I should get black or tortoise shell ones. I'm black and have sort of medium-dark skin with yellow undertones, brown eyes and black hair. The glasses are kind of nerdy, but also cute, and a bit hipster. They look sort of like these, but not exactly: http://tinyurl.com/8rsedlm

Which color should I get?

You can never go wrong with black - they're classic. But tortoise shell is fun and has more pizzazz. What do you prefer? Do you have a friend you could ask? I'm not good at what colors go with what skin tones, etc. I like the ones in the link - they're cute!

Yeah, I was thinking black. Black is actually what I originally ordered but since they had to order the frames they got the tortoise shell as well so I had the choice.

I guess I would also look at what color's you mostly wear in your clothing......do you lean toward wearing cloths with the brown tones of things more toward the black. Tortoise shell goes well with navy blues also.....so does black.....red shade clothing can go with either also....but I would definitely look at your closet & see what color's you mostly wear & use that to help determine the color glasses you choose.

I wear a decent amount of black, purple, pink and white. I wear most other colors sometimes, but not often.

Rose-colored, my dear

Pink, I love Pink - It's sassy...

Pink isn't an option. My choices are black and tortoise shell...

I figured you were trying to be cute

I would say also with the color of cloths that you wear that the black would probably be the most fitting.

I have worn glasses is seems like almost forever for reading then ended up by the end of college, just all the time. I couldn't stand seeing frames around my glasses. I was going to go with the frameless ones this time....but then thought better of it because they are too fragile for riding horses with & I'm all the time bumping my glasses & knocking them out of whack & having to have them adjusted.....so I went with the wire frames that only have the top frame, but the bottom wire to hold the glass in place because I feel a clostrophobic feeling having frames around the glasses. Wore ones like that at the beginning, but have worn the wire frame for so long, if feels more like having natural sight without having any blind spots of the frame.

Interesting how we all have our personal feelings toward glasses & the personal statements they make & how they make us feel......It is very interesting......

Glad glasses have become the norm.....can't imagine what my mother went through because she absolutely couldn't see without glasses....underdeveloped eyes at birth & needed glasses just to see where she was going but didn't realize that she didn't see any different than anyone else because she never knew any different.....kids made fun of her once they finally realized when she was in school that she couldn't see.

Ah, the freedom we have now...only worry we really have is what color frame & what style we like now that almost everyone needs to have glasses.

The tortoise shell colored ones!!! They would appear smashing on you, I can only imagine!!! Please!!! And all the people said, AMEN!!!
