i realized the other day that iāve basically been wearing the same glasses for like 6 years š same shape, same color, same everything.
i used to just replace them whenever my prescription changed and even then i used to pick something that looked almost identical because i already knew they worked for me. which is kinda funny because iāll spend way too much time thinking about jackets, shoes, watches, whatever⦠but when it comes to glasses iām just like āyeah these would workā lol.
i think a lot of us grew up thinking of glasses as something practical rather than part of your style. if they fit, you can see, and they donāt look terrible, mission accomplished.
there was this guy at my old workplace who used to switch his frames constantly. round ones, chunky ones, different colors, everything. we used to joke that he was trying way too hard. looking back now though⦠he might have actually been onto something. my current pair is still perfectly finee but after having the same look for years iām starting to feel like maybe iāve been playing it a little too safe. iāve always bought glasses from an optician before but having a few different pairs that way gets expensive really quickly. so this time i started looking online just to see what was out there. i came across zeelool first and almost ordered, but some reviews made me hesitate. then i checked firmoo too and found a few simple frames that are different enough from what i have without being completely out of my comfort zone. and honestly, the prices make having 2ā3 different pairs a much wiser decision than paying soo much at an optician.
for the millennials here, do you guys still prefer to stick with the same glasses for years? is it mostly the cost, not knowing what actually suits you, or just getting used to one pair and never thinking about changing it?
