The Search For Glasses | Say Hello To David Kind
Tags: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.

Hi Ali - I like the fun cat-eye frames in the green. Makes your eyes pop and gives you a youthful vibe...

Hands down...#2 all the way! Sorry, but I don't agree with everyone about #1. They make you look more "seasoned". And as women, that's not good! ;)

I agree with you about #1 ;)

#2 or #3 I think flatter you the most. I think #1 ages you (really hoping that's not your fav because then I feel terrible for saying that). Ultimately go with what you feel best in. That's all that matters.

#5 - they're cool but not way out there; and they will look good in lots of situations/places - home; shopping; festivals; dining out (if you were glasses then!).

I'm so glad you posted this! I always hate shopping for glasses and I'm in desperate need of a new pair! This setup sounds ideal!
I like #1 and #6 but if you are only planning on getting 1 pair I would go with #1!
