A lot of guys on here wear glasses. Pick any long thread and just look at the pictures. You'll get an idea as to what you like.

Ironically, I'm getting fitted for contacts next week!

My new "backup" glasses will be the classic "John Lennon" type frames - I'll post a pic once I get 'em!

These were my favorite shades. I sat on them a couple of years back and was in mourning for months afterwards. Maybe you could rock the sunglasses inside look.

You should choose a style of frame that compliments the shape and features of your face....round, chiseled features, high cheekbones, lantern jaw, etc....and something that (as mentioned) does NOT take away from your noggin....

But then again, there are some guys who have the blessing of the "Gene Pool Gods" that no matter what style of frames or color they choose, no matter how thick or thin the lenses may be, they can still pull off the look and look like a million bucks....

 Go figure!!- LOL

The last time I ordered frames, I went for the "Marx Bros" look!!

Personally, I think squared off frames look the best with a bald dome.  There's something about the contrast of square frames and a round head that works for me.

Yup. I wouldn't recommend Dame Edna frames.

I dont need glasses but I am the guy who always wants what he cant have (thats why I shave my head, lol). In FFA I had a pair of fake glasses that I wore for CDE's and such but they got lost when I moved. I would love to find another pair and I agree, the square/rectangle frames do look awesome with the dome

IDK do I pull off the look? I picked out my glasses back when I like having a buzzcut.
(my face is pretty oily, I know)

Look at my pic.  I too wear glasses.  Really there are all sorts of looks in the group when it comes to glasses!  So there really should be no problem!

For a very long time, I was extremely self conscious about wearing glasses with a shaved head. I don't know why because I don't really think it looks bad on anyone else.  I've kind of gotten past the issue, though I still don't go out in public wearing glasses very often.

I shave my head to star attention from my face because I don't like how I look, I think glasses draw attention to your face regardless of your hair.
