How to choose the perfect eyeglasses

For many of us, the most important aspect of choosing eyeglass frames is how they look on our face Whether you are buying it for the first time or just upgrading the old one, always keep in mind that you need a shape that not only balances your face type but also enhances it to a level where you look just perfect and flawless



Here are some tips and recommendations that will make your task easy.

FRAMES FOR A ROUND FACE

If you have a round face that is the most common face shape, you should go for cat-eye and angular shapes like rectangular and square that will take the attention away from the round silhouette, fuller cheeks and soft and curvy lines. Choosing such frames will create an illusion of length by highlighting your cheekbones and making your face look contoured.

  • Avoid wearing round eyeglasses, as they tend to make your face look even rounder.
  • Best shapes and styles: Square and rectangular. Retro square, pilot, oversized and cat-eye.

FRAMES FOR AN OVAL AND OBLONG FACE

An oval face shape is blessed with balanced features with chin narrower and slightly broader forehead. That is why; you can wear almost any kind of frame if you have an oval face. To be specific, choose eyeglasses with bold and geometric face shapes; square or rectangle and unswept corners.

  • • Avoid wearing oversized glasses or rounded shapes as they can break your face’s natural symmetry.
  • • Best shapes and styles: Square and rectangular. Cat-eye and oversized.

FRAMES FOR A SQUARE FACE

A face with a straight silhouette and angular features is a square face. So, choose eyeglass frames that make them look a little round. The ideal ones will have slightly curved edges or those that sit high up of the nose. Wear round or oval glasses to soften your sharp features.

  • Avoid boxy shaped eyeglasses and thick acetate frames.
  • Best shapes and styles: Round and oval. Cat-eye and oversized frames and thin metal frames made of bronze, gold, and silver are best.

FRAMES FOR A HEART-SHAPED FACE

Another most common to round face is a heart shaped face. It is characterized by a broader forehead, and narrow jawline and chin. When you choose glasses for such face type, the focus is mainly on diverting the attention away from the wider forehead and creating an illusion of broad chin. So, look for eyeglasses that have frames wider than your forehead or detailed end-points. Frames with low-set temples and curved edges are perfect.

  • Avoid dark colored eyes and frames with decorative temples and embellished tops. Say no to heavy browline frames.
  • Best shapes and styles: Classic Clubmaster and cat-eye frames.

FRAMES FOR A ROUND FACE

Rarest of all face shapes, a diamond face features a narrow hairline and forehead and pointed chin whereas cheekbone area is widest. Buying glasses for such shape is the easiest as it features both- angular and curvy details. If you have a diamond face then choose wider frames and top-heavy glasses like semi-rimless styles and un-swept styles.

  • Avoid narrow frames and those having a thin rim and too rounded in shape.
  • Best shapes and styles: Round and Oval. Cat-eye, pilot, and Clubmaster.
