Huh that's funny. I just ordered 5 pairs from them to try on, they came yesterday. (http://imgur.com/a/ZRTKi if you're interested in offering an opinion)

I'm really impressed with the build of them. They feel a lot better than my zenni optical pair (which were only 30 dollars, not 95). Hopefully the lens quality is better too (mostly anti-glare I'm concerned about), but I'll have to wait and see.

Also, if you missed their april fools site, it is extremely adorable and well done: http://www.warbybarker.com/

Every pair of glasses has a dog modeling it, ie: http://www.warbybarker.com/sunwear/aldous/

I dont work for WP.

I bought a pair of WP glasses and my wife purchased a pair of sunglasses. Great glasses, price and service. Very satisfied. They even have a one year return policy if they get scratched. They fit well and are stylish. The lenses have scratch protection and UV protection. For $95 I might even buy a new pair though I dont need them. They are high quality frames and lenses like designer level. Given we were about to pay 300-500 for new glasses we feel like we won the lottery.

I highly recommend WP it is a steal.

My assumption is the optics are essentially the same in the Zenni ones, so most of that price difference is going into better frames (and advertising and such). So that makes sense that it feels better.
I say B. You look great. I never actually bought a pair of WP glasses; I did the home try-on and didn't find a pair that really worked for me.
Same situation for me. Not to be "that guy" but I really do think their glasses are a bit too hipster for some. Nonetheless, I bought a pair hoping that they would grow on me but unfortunately they never did.

With that said though, the customer experience was fantastic. Very helpful and charming staff. I'd love to take a look at WP again if they ever added a few new styles of specs.

D without a doubt.
Second this, D's compliment the shape of your face very well. Try and stay away from B, the square sides accentuate your nose a bit too much (even though you do have a lovely nose!)

C and E are very nice choices as well!

I like D as well, or maybe C.
B or E
