A smaller frame would look better with her face but it's not bad

Agree, for those circular frames, smaller ones would look better. If they were those ray-ban kind of frames, big ones would probably look good, but these ones seem kind of oversized.

They are nice, these big frames are trendy and her face is pretty small, so they do stand out, which is good in my opinion. C:

Too big. Big glasses look geeky or like ones that old people would wear.

Is she a vampire too?
That would explain why she can't look in the mirror and see for herself how she looks.

Well, the main reason looks matter at all is because they affect how others think of you, so it's not that surprising that someone would want to know how others think they look.

I'd recommend smaller frames... She would look much better with them :)

I think that the frames are far too large and oddly shaped. They may be unusual, but I don't think they fit her facial features. If I could hazard a guess, I suspect that a more narrow, rectangular frame would look better on her. Cat eye frames might also look good if the lenses aren't large and the shape is a bit rectangular. I would personally also suggest that the frame be wire or some other thin material. Thick-rimmed hipster glasses might work, but unless she specifically wants to go for that style, I would be hesitant to go that route. Without actually seeing them on her face, however, I can only vaguely imagine what might look good on her.

She had rectangular frames for years, she wanted something different.

And did she look good in them?

I can understand and sympathize with wanting something different, but usually rounded faces (including oblong ones like hers) tend to be best complemented by more rectangular frames. Unless I'm mistaken, the aesthetic convention regarding face–frames pairing is one of contrast—i.e., rectangular frames with rounder faces and rounded frames with rectangular faces. Breaking that contrast is a bit difficult because one risks the frames emphasizing the shape of one's face rather than balancing it. The former, in my opinion, is what I feel is occurring with the frames shown above.

More specifically, I think the problem is that the frame is shaped in generally the same way as her face: rounded with more height than width. Moreover, the frames are so large that they extend beyond the top of her ala nasi (picture), which might not be such an issue if it weren't for the fact that the base of the frame rounds off like an oval so far from her nose's sidewall. That effect may be due to the fact that the shape of the frames seem to be more like a rounded oblique triangle than anything else, which seems to me like a difficult shape to fit to any face. Maybe I'm the minority here, but I think it would be better if the base of her frames didn't dip so low and if they did, the base was flatter (though that usually entails a more rectangular or trapezoidal frame).

If she would really prefer a more round frame, I recommend finding a rounded cat eyes frame that is closer to half the height of the frames shown above, but whose cat eye corners are not very pronounced. The frames would still have a longer width than height, which I think would help balance the height and shape of her face while still avoiding a frame shape with sharply-defined sides, such as a rectangle. If not that, then perhaps consider a frame with a horizontal oval or an inverted trapezoid shape, or at least something whose shape is more wide than it is high. That's one of the main problems I find with the frames shown above: they're too tall, which is only worsened by the fact that her face is oblong, as well.

Unless she specifically wants to break convention or she has a special interest in unusual frames like that (or in those particular frames), I suggest she stick to a frame style that accomplishes the conventional goal of eyeglass fashion: to balance the face through the contrast of shape and length.

Then again, what do I know? I can't even pick out the right frames for myself.


EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not saying that those eyeglasses make her look unattractive—that would be exceedingly difficult to accomplish—only that I think there is a lot of room for improving the aesthetic contrast between her face and her eyeglass frames. That's why I chose "Meh" rather than "Not good" in the poll. Even if she keeps those exact frames (which I expect she probably will), she'll still be attractive and the eyeglass frames won't specifically detract from that.

You should tell her she's gorgeous and it wouldn't matter what glasses she was wearing, her beauty would still shine through...

She's cute. Those glasses don't do her justice. They look too wide, too big. Like those giant glasses you can buy at joke shops. Sorry.

Those hideous glasses are very off-putting. It may also be the lighting and picture angle. I don't know, but i would not wear those if i were her, unless she really loves them and does not give any fucks what anyone thinks. But if my opinion were asked (as your thread did) i would give an honest, "hell no, find something more flattering for your face" response.

I think she look pretty good with this glasses.
She does not have to worry about what we (or other) think, if she likes these glasses that's all that matters.

Like many others, I find those glasses way too big. Looks to me like she borrowed them from her grandma.
The round shape suits her face, the size doesn't ;)

She has a dainty face, so I'd have probably gone with a bit smaller frame, but one that still shows off her wonderful eyes (so not too small).

Honestly, those look like glasses from a clown shop.
I mean, she's still good looking, but mostly despite the glasses.
