Calling all guys! Are you thinking about getting a new pair of glasses or sunglasses but want a little help making the best selection possible? If so, you aren’t alone!

Our very own David C. is in the same frame selection cunundrum. So, we thought why not exploit David’s need for new eyewear to help all mankind out? First, we’ll offer David some expert tips. Then, we’ll let YOU select what frames David should get! I like it.

Here are the things every guy should consider when selecting the perfect frame:

1) Identify your face shape. Is it round, oval, square, or heart shaped?
2) What’s your shade? No, not your sunglass shade but your skin tone shade.
*Cool – pale with a rosey cast to skin
*Warm – golden, buttery or honey tones (Anyone else getting hungry?)
*Neutral – a blend of both which is olive
*Dark – tan or deep brown
3) Lifestyle. Active, gamer, techy etc.
4) Style. Are you bold, understated, preppy, trend setter?

Let’s see what David’s answers are:
1) Oval.
2) I would probably say a “cool” tone.
3) Professional who likes to be outside.
4) I like style…bold, but not too bold. Trends are good, but let’s not get crazy.

David also said: I have hazel eyes, so green and brown tend to work for me, but my head is big, so I need to go to the eye doctor and get my measurements so I don’t buy something that doesn’t fit…I hate that. I’m also tired of breaking my glasses because I just throw them on the couch and then forget about them.

Using Eyeconic, we entered David’s preferences to find a few frames that compliment his needs. I snapped a few pictures and here they are. Now YOU decide! Vote for David’s perfect frame in a comment below.
