ICONIC/RETRO BUT SUPER STYLISH, EXCELLENT QUALITY, PLS READ!!!!
THEY SAY ICONIC BUT AND ARE SUPER IN FASHION TODAY!!! I HAVE TO SAY THAT THESE ARE EXCEPTIONALLY STURDY AND PERFECT FOR GETTING YOUR PRESCRIPTION LENSES PUT INTO, WHICH I AM DOING. EVERYONE IN THE OPTICAL DEPARTMENT AND TWO CUSTOMERS LOVED THESE AND ASKED WHERE I FOUND THEM!! THE LOOK OF THEM IS PERFECT. I LOVE THE PINK AGAINST THE GOLD VERSACE LOGO ON THE ARM. THEY ARE A TRANSPARENT PINK, AND I WANTED TO MENTION THAT FOR CLARITY SAKE. THESE ARE A COMBINATION OF A LARGER RECTANGLE THAT PULLS UP INTO CATEYE GLASSES. THEY LOOK SO SHARP ON AND I RECEIVED COMPLIMENTS WHEN I BROUGHT THEM IN, AND I GOT COMPLIMENTS WHEN I PICKED THEM UP! I AM INCREDIBLY HAPPY!! FUNCTIONALLY, THESE ARE PERFECT FOR MY NEEDS BECAUSE MY PRESCRIPTION LENSES ARE TRIFOCALS, AND THERE’S PLENTY OF ROOM TO ACCOMMODATE MY NEEDS. I HAVE A ROUND FACE SO THIS SHAPE IS PERFECT FOR ME. I DO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE SO VERSATILE THAT THEY WOULD BE GREAT FOR ANY FACE SHAPES. I’M SUPER GRATEFUL FOR HOW WELL MADE THESE FRAMES ARE!!!! THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL!!!! WHEN I GAVE THEM TO THE OPTICAL TEAM, I WAS TOLD THAT THESE ARE SUPER STYLISH AND STURDY, AND PUTTING MY PRESCRIPTION LENSES INTO THE FRAMES WILL BE EASY BECAUSE THEY ARE HIGH QUALITY. I HAPPILY AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GLASSES AND BECAUSE THEY ARE STYLISH AND ARE EXCELLENT QUALITY FRAMES. I DONT BELIEVE YOU WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THESE AWESOME GLASSES AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF THEM. BUY THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION!!! A++++
