... get right on my tits. I am sick to death of new designs coming out that results in the users appearing to be half wits if they don't comply with the latest fashion and buy some trendy frames ..... Glasses are a requirement, not a f*****g celebrity fashion accessory.
I don't wear them by the way.

I only recently had to take to wearing glasses more or less full time.
My reasoning in selecting a frame was that since I was getting progressive lenses I needed big ones to get the most out of them.
After size and solidity, design came third. But design did count for something. After all I didn't want to end up looking a complete nerd.

Personally I have 3 or 4 pairs on the go at any one time and tend to shuffle the pack, you very rarely see me with the same gogs on 2 days running.

Contact Lenses are OK, but with my job being office/site based theyre not really that good for going out on dusty sites, I only wear them for footy and gigs.

For styles I follow the leader of Speccy fashion, Mr Elvis Costello, indeed I have 2 of the very same styles that he has at the moment, the God of the Goggles!

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick here, I'm on about what I consider to be the pressure put on by suppliers via advertising onto people who may well not be able to afford to follow the vagaries of fashion and to be virtually mocked for it .
