The frame determines how comfortable the glasses are to wear, as well as whether they fit the face. Before buying a new eyeglass frame, it is worth trying on several options at once to determine which type of frame suits you best. There are many general recommendations that can greatly simplify the choice. The most popular recommendation is to choose frames according to the shape of your face. Frames of different shapes can look completely different on the same face. So how do you choose the right frame? Here are some simple but useful tips to follow.
First Of All, Accurately Determine The Shape Of Your Face.
- If the widest part of your face is your forehead and your chin is visually narrowed, you have a heart-shaped (inverted triangle).
- If you have very pronounced upper cheekbones, and the lower part of the face is narrowed, you most likely have a triangular or diamond type.
- Symmetrical proportions, without any pronounced accents, indicate a round or oval face.
- A massive and wide chin is the main sign of a square face type.
- A rectangular face is: an expressive forehead, an oblong chin and prominent cheekbones.
– Owners of an oval face are lucky. The choice of frames is the easiest for them since different frames look equally good on this type of face. When choosing, be guided by your own taste and preferences.
– When choosing a frame for a triangular face, look at the rounded models (panto). Cat eye glasses will also look great. The frame should visually balance the disproportion between the upper and lower parts of the face.
– The task of the owners of a round face is to visually narrow and lengthen the face. To do this, you should pay attention to butterfly frames, cat’s eyes, models with wide temples. Avoid round frames.
– Distinctive features of a rectangular face: the predominance of length over width, a certain angularity of the contour. This is important to consider when choosing a frame. Choose from round, oval, or rimless frames.
– A square face is quite angular, so a definite “no” should be said to angular frames with right angles. Round, oval, rounded frames with a smooth contour are best suited.
– If you have a diamond-shaped face, look at the frames that are square, oval, or widened down. As an option – semi-rim designs. It is not recommended to choose a cat’s eye and narrow frames.
– The face of a pear is a wide bottom and a narrow top of the face, as well as a visually pronounced difference between them. Wide frames and cat-eye glasses will look best on such a face. Avoid frames that are too narrow.
Recommendations and tips should help you choose the right frame, emphasizing all the advantages of your face shape. But remember, the main guideline is your own preferences. If you like the frame and the way you look in it, it doesn’t matter if your choice matches the recommendations. It’s good that the range of frames from the world and Ukrainian manufacturers allows you not to limit yourself, offering stylish and comfortable models for every taste.
