When choosing the proper frame style, one must first consider the
wearer’s face shape. This is important to get the right fit as different eyeglass frame styles
fit certain face shapes much better than others do. As an overall rule for
picking out the right frame type for ones face, you must remember that
opposites attract. This means that you select the eyeglass shapes that contrast
from your own facial profile to bring symmetry and balance to your face’s prominent
features.
For
instance, square or rectangular eyeglass frames are very good for round faces
as rectangular or square shapes look wider when placed on a round face. This
quality enhances your look by making your face appear slimmer and longer than
it actually is. Frames with geometric shapes, a strong bridge, and are
relatively wider than the broadest part of the facial profile fit oval shaped angular faces really well. Square or
angular shaped faces can benefit from using oval or round eyeglasses, as
they balance and softens sharp features. Eyeglasses that have a swept-up
profile, or are wider than the cheeks suit people with diamond shaped faces as
they accentuate the cheekbones and eyewear with a low-set temple and a heavy
bottom frame line suit heart-shaped faces best.
It is also important to consider your lifestyle when choosing a
particular frame type, especially one which would be seeing daily use. Always
go for comfort and utility over style in this case to ensure that your pair of
glasses stand up to the rigors of daily use. For specialized use,
non-prescription frames, or in instances where utility is not as important,
just follow the guidelines
for picking out the right frame shape style for your particular face shape.
In terms of color, you can follow a general rule of picking a shade that is
closest to your skin tone.
