HOW DO I CHOOSE THE  RIGHT FRAME FOR EYEGLASSES?

You don’t need to be a style specialist to find frames for your glasses that look great on you. Following certain criteria can make finding the right frames simple.

Finding the perfect eyeglasses frame that matches your facial structure and style can be easily fulfilled by following the tips given below.

Face shape matters

Is your face round, oval, square, diamond, or heart-shaped? The shape of your face will help you decide which frames enhance your look.

• Round face

Eyeglass frames that are square or rectangular are wider than a round face. This quality can improve your face by making it appear slimmer and longer, enhancing proportion to your round features. Rimless frames, round frames, and small frames will intensify the roundness, making your round face look even rounder.

• Oval face

Frames that suit an oval face have a strong bridge and are geometric in shape. Eyeglasses covering up more than half of your face will affect the natural balance of the oval face.

• Square face

Eyeglasses that sit high on the bridge of the nose look best on square faces. Oval or round eyeglasses will balance and add a thinner impression to the angles of a square face.

• Diamond face

Flaunt the narrow forehead and chin with eyeglass frames that compensate or are wider than the cheekbones, such as cat eye glasses and oval frames. These frames will underline your cheekbones and delicate features. Boxy and narrow frames will bring out the width of your cheeks, drawing attention to your narrow features rather than improving them.

• Heart-shaped face

Frames that equalize the width of the forehead with the narrowness of the chin are ideal. Round eyeglasses or square eyeglasses with curved edges will help draw attention away from a broad, high forehead. Step ways of any style or color of frames that draw attention to the forehead. This includes frames with adorning temples or embellished tops.

Choose frame colors that suit your skin tone

Just as the shape of your face helps understand which frames look best, so does your skin tone. More crucial than hair color and more definitive than eye color, skin tone sets the tone for high fashion frames. Selecting a shade suiting your skin tone is the best way to find the perfect frame for your glasses.

Warm skin tone

If you have a yellow, bronze, or golden cast to your skin, you have a warm tone. Stay away from contradicting colors such as pastels. White and black frames are not complimenting either. Instead, the best frame colors for you are the light tortoise, browns shades, gold or honey, beige, and olive green.

Cool skin tone

If your skin has pink or blue undertones, you have a cool tone. Prevent colors that wash you out and instead reach for frames that are silver, black, dark tortoise, pink, purple, blue, mauve and grey.

The frames you wear can say a lot about your attitude. You can have a pair of glasses that showcase your casual side on the weekends and a pair that accentuates your professional tone during the week.

Adorn your face with your complimenting frame color or related touch-ups and fit. Choose either one style of frames to express your personality or have a small compilation of frames on hand to easily alter your impression to suit your mood.
