Let me start by saying these frames are undeniably stylish. The rectangular shape gives off that sleek, modern vibe that Armani is known for. When I first put them on, I got multiple compliments - they definitely elevate any outfit from casual to polished.

The lightweight design is a major plus. I've worn them for 8+ hour workdays without feeling any discomfort or pressure on my nose bridge. Unlike some heavier frames, these don't leave those annoying red marks by the end of the day.

However... the quality control seems questionable. Like one reviewer mentioned, the paint on my temples also started chipping after about 4 months of regular use. For premium frames, this is pretty disappointing. The screws also tend to loosen frequently - I find myself tightening them every other week.

Value-wise, buying through Amazon is definitely smarter than retail stores (saved about $100 compared to LensCrafters!). Just don't expect any extras - mine didn't come with a cleaning cloth either.

Final verdict? Great for special occasions when you want to look sharp, but maybe not sturdy enough for everyday wear if you're rough with your glasses. If Armani fixes the durability issues, these would be perfect.
