What kind of glass frame looks good on bald head/crop hair cut ?
iCyborg:
I wear glasses (the frame is light metal) and now since I am planning to keep very short hair, may be I can change my frame set too :) as I feels may be dark heavy frame will look good on me. O:O
Any suggestions or views on this as I have seen lot of people who shave their heads using thick black frames

I prefer the lighter frames, but hey, go nuts! Get whatever you think looks good on you and makes you feel good.

pretty quick reply, and guess who,bootedbear again :D I am already liking the forum :@`
anyway you think people who shave heads and keep french cut or wear dark heavy frame looks to distract people ? I mean clean shaved head, light glasses and clean shaven face may (and probably it do) looks strange, I may be wrong though :)
Edit - I am looking to have similar glasses http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=4862;type=avatar

I know we should be supportive on things, but I can't on this but I will try to be diplomatic. I personally find thick, heavy, "horn rim" style glasses to be just about the ugliest thing I've ever seen anyone wear intentionally (aside from long fingernails). People who wear them look like a walking pair of glasses with a face following behind. They're harsh, dominating, and can look ridiculous depending on how extreme the frames are.
Then there's another problem. Do you really want to walk around viewing the world with massive black letterboxing around everything you see? I used to wear glasses and always found the frames to be an obstruction. Why magnify that?
The glasses I recommend are the rimless variety. They were the best pair of glasses I ever wore because they could hardly be seen. However if you can wear them I recommend contacts. Personally I find them so painful that I can't tolerant them for more than a few minutes. The ultimate thing to do is get LASIK. That's what I did and it was the best thing I ever did in my life. It's so great that I had nightmares up to a year later where my vision returned to normal.
Not only to contacts and lasik allow you to be seen instead of a frame of eyeglasses but...
* Your vision works the way it's supposed to work: you get your full field of vision.
* You can see outside in the rain
* You can wear sunglasses
Am I the only one who'd cringe when watching those eyeglasses commercials with the models wearing 5lb black frames?

I'm going to have to agree with Rusty on this one... I don't think a person should hide/ be hidden behind glasses. Your eyes are one of if not THE most important feature(s) we use to communicate our feelings. Those who have the balls to make eye contact will often use only a person's eyes to assess their intentions/mood. Those black, big-rimmed "emo" glasses just don't work out most of the time.
That being said, I think it comes down to (A) what is most functional and (B) what fits your personal style.
The normal-sized black-rimmed glasses look great on Jer (check out photos from Slycon '09), but the no-frame variety are very stylish and professional-looking (check out the avatar for slyatlast). I wear bronzish-reddish metal frames with no rim on the bottom half because it works well with my pale skin and eyebrow/beard color.
