Whether or not you need eyeglasses for your eyes or just as an accessory, you have to find the right glasses that will perfectly fit and enhance your face. The wrong ones can make you look like a caricature. The right ones can make you look both intelligent and stylish… and who doesn’t want that?
But shopping for eyeglasses may be overwhelming with so many choices to choose from. And let’s not forget that there are now so many trendy specs, which makes it even harder to choose.
When it comes to looking for eyeglasses, there are several factors that you have to consider. Let’s talk about them here.
Your Face Shape
Determine the shape of your face — is it round? Oval? Square? Heart-shaped? The shape of your face will help you know which frame will look best on you.
When you know your face shape, select frames that are the complete opposite of your face shape. It should be framed that will add contrast to the contours of your face.
Round Face
If you have a round face, square or rectangular eyeglasses frames will work best on you. These types of frames will help make your face look slimmer and longer.
Oval Face
Choose wider frames with a strong bridge. It should also be geometric in shape.
Square Face
Oval and round eyeglasses are perfect for those with square faces. They add a nice complementary touch to the angles of a square face.
Heart-Shaped Face
Choose eyeglasses with low-set temples and bottom heavy frame lines. You may stick to round or square eyeglasses that feature curved edges.
