The Search For Glasses | Say Hello To David Kind

AE_DavidKind2

Last month I received an email with an invitation to try a different way to purchase eyeglasses from a new company called David Kind.

Here's the deal: I don't love that I need to wear glasses and I don't particularly like the process of picking out new glasses. I find I'm usually in a hurry - get in, get out. I also tend to wear my glasses for a long time until they are riddled with scratches or I need a new prescription. I rarely have more than one pair at once.

When this invite came through I thought it sounded like a fun way to test out some new frames and they have a super classy website and I like the idea of this kind of service and let's be honest, I can almost always use a style update.

David Kind is set up a bit like Stitch Fix.

After you sign up you upload a photo of yourself and any information you want them to know and enter your credit card information and then a stylist chooses six different pairs of glasses for you and mails them to your home. Free styling and free shipping.

And I loved their mission statement: Our mission is to provide the highest quality frames and lenses, hand selected to match your facial features and personal style by a friendly, qualified, real person. We provide people with glasses they look great in, lenses they see better through, all via unparalleled customer service.

Yes.

They arrive in a beautiful box (felt like Christmas) and then the fun of trying them on begins.

Now here's where I'd like some help from you guys. Which one do you like on me?

After trying them on and writing a couple notes on each pair on the cards provided you can pick one (or more) pairs to purchase.

You send the box and the glasses back and include your prescription and they will send you back your new glasses.

Trying them on was super fun. Having them here in my house for a few days was a much better experience than the pressure of being in the glasses store and feeling like I needed to make a quick decision.

So what do you think? I've got my personal favorite and so does Katie. I'll share the final result after I hear from you guys.

    If you're going for an update then go for frame number 1.

    If you're going for a style update then go for frame number 5.

    I like #3! I also need new glasses for the same reasons... Though I bet mine are older—at least since we lived in VA, possibly before (5? 6? years old). Will have to check them out, curious about cost. Now that there are three glasses-wearing people in this house, that optical shop bill hurts.

    #6 followed closely by #4. What a fun way to choose new frames shopping for them in a store is always confusing for me. Too many choices.

    Buy 'em all!

    As someone who wears glasses all the time, I get 2-3 pairs at a time. I wear them everyday, so I should have a couple different "looks" to go with different outfits and such.

    They all look good. Like 2&3 the best but they are similiar. Pick one of those and then go for something fun..like the green pair. :)

    Hm, I wouldn't take number 2 and 3 because they cut your eye a little bit. (I have a similar one and I'm always frustrated at how I look on photos with the glasses cutting my eyes)

    I love number 5.

    #6....I'm sure asking us is giving you a good laugh since there seems to be no clear cut 'winner'...that just means any one of them is a good fit for you ! ! !

    Personally, I think number 3 suits you best, both the colour and the style.

    I really like pairs number 3 or number 5!!! On the glasses shop they told me that "big" glasses are better for our eyes because the eye is not stressed, so with that explanation... I would say number 5 :-)

    2 & 3 look like the same frame, just a different color, but I like the black #2 best - it frames your face well. #1 is the very worst, looks very 1970s.

    #1--because they are so open, and you try so hard to be open.
    #2--because they complement the oval of your face, and I like the contrast with your blonde hair and fair skin better than #3.
    Aren't you sorry you asked? :)
