Altus

This is going to be a long, detailed review, so brace yourself! These are definitely my new favorite pair of glasses. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews yet. I had looked at a similar pair of Ray-Bans in a boutique and the frames ALONE were well-over $300 and I couldn't bear to purchase them, considering how delicate they were. These are around $30 and I'd dare to argue slightly better quality for a tenth of the cost. I'm going to jump to the part of the review that I really want to emphasize. I had been interested in the Palo Alto frames for a long time, but I don't like where the nose of the bridge was positioned on the lenses, which is perfectly halfway. ALTUS has the exact same measurements as the Palo Alto, but the drill holes on the Altus' lenses are positioned more about 2/3, rather than 1/2. I prefer my glasses to sit lower on my nose and face. The arms and bridge of the Atlus are delicate and classy looking. They can literally go with anything, dressy or casual. Though I must be honest, the delicacy of them is going to prevent them from being worn as an everyday-pair of glasses. I just compared the gold finish to my pair of Daydream brown/gold and they are definitely more of a rose gold or soft bronze finish than a true gold, but will go with other gold accents just fine. Once on, they practically disappear on your face and from your vision. I've added a couple photos because it's helpful. I have never owned a pair of glasses that I like this much before. I will be purchasing the silver and black in the future.

I already reviewed these, but the longer I wear them, the harder I fall for them. They are so sophisticated and pretty. The online pictures really don't do them justice. They look so much better than I could have ever anticipated.

These glasses are everything to me. There was a BOGO sale going on when I decided to buy something practical and these. I wasn’t sure about these frames, but thought maybe they’d be able to give me the no-glasses look from a distance, open my face up a little bit. That being said, I have a -4.75 and -4.25 in my right and left eyes respectively, and didn’t op for specialized thinner lenses. When I unpacked these lenses I LAUGHED at how thick they are (see photos). Nonetheless, the thick lenses don’t seem to weigh them down, and I am constantly reciving compliments about how incredibly cute and thick my glasses are. I’ve owned these for only a few months and I can’t even ballpark how many compliments I’ve been given. They’re fun, unique, and so very versatile. If you’re on the edge about these— wait for a BOGO and give them a try! I couldn’t be happier!
