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.

    4 -- #1 is just too light. But if you really don't like glasses, #1 would be the better choice since they almost disappear on your face. All the others, but 4 are too dark for your complexion. 4 has some definition, but blends rather than contrasts so starkly.

    I like #3 on you. What a great idea - too much pressure to figure it out in a few minutes in the store.

    Definitely 5 then 6 as a second choice. I share with you similar facial and hair coloring and I have found that I am more satisfied with frames that have a bit more color. I have been putting off buying new glasses since my appt this past Fall because I HATE making that decision. I look forward to seeing your choice. BTW I like the #5 frame because it truly accentuates your eyes...opens them UP.

      I agree - #5 makes your eyes look big and pretty! 2 & 3 are too similar to what you've been wearing. Have fun!

    Glasses bring out an aspect of your personality. It just depends on who you want to be most of the time. I like all of them but prefer #6 because you are having the most fun with them.
