I just recently bought a pair of black oversized specs and okay I don't care if others think I'm jumping the geeky oversized specs wagon, because they look fresh and modern to me, on my face. Think about how long you'll be using your glasses, too. If you're like me, you will change up your frames and lenses every two years or so...
