How to choose the shape of glasses

Glasses can greatly transform your appearance. Therefore, you should approach their choice responsibly.

Therefore, glasses should match your overall image and facial contours as best as possible.

How to choose the right glasses shape

First of all, the glasses must fit your size. Glasses that are too big for you and constantly slide down will visually put you over a dozen years old. The small frame cuts into the cheeks and looks comical. For older people, it is better to choose solid metal frames, while glasses made of light plastic will look more harmonious on young people.

How to choose glasses according to your face shape

For this reason, other types are usually brought closer to oval with the help of hairstyle, makeup and accessories.

So, let's look at which glasses are suitable for which type of face:

• Almost all glasses shapes are suitable for the classic oval shape. The main thing here is to correlate them with the size of the head and not to disturb the proportionality of the features. For those with soft contours, glasses with frames with rounded corners are perfect. Otherwise, stick to frames with a clear geometric structure.
• Wide cheekbones and an angled chin characterize a square face. Large glasses with a round shape, butterfly-shaped frames or aviators will suit him. Models with decorations on the arms or on the top of the glasses will be perfect. Do not buy glasses or narrow small models for a square face of the same shape.
• For those with a round face, frames made in the shape of a “butterfly”, geometric square and rectangular shapes, glasses with high-set temples and decorations at the top are suitable.
• For heart-shaped faces, glasses with light, light frames or no frames at all, round frames, aviators, or frames with low-set temples are perfect.
• On rectangular faces, oval, round shapes and rectangle-shaped frames look harmonious. But you need to give up small and narrow metal glasses.

How to choose a frame

When choosing a frame, which will ultimately determine the appearance of the glasses, it is important to take into account many details. Here, hair color, eye color, skin tone, and face shape are taken into account.

For blondes who have fair skin and blue or gray eyes, plastic frames in light or pastel colors are perfect: beige, pinkish, blue tones, peach or café au lait, and the like. It is better not to use acidic and bright colors in frames. If you choose glasses made of metal, then opt for thin frames in gold, silver or pewter.

Girls with light brown hair and slightly dark skin with light eyes will suit frames in cool, muted tones. It can be lilac, green marble, dark red or burgundy. An excellent choice would be two-tone frames, when the darker color in the upper area smoothly turns into transparent. Choose a silver or golden-red metal frame.

Dark-skinned brown-haired women with eyes of warm shades of color will suit frames in brown or terracotta tones, amber color and with tiger print. Such women need to avoid cold colors, so metal frames should be golden.

For brunettes with snow-white skin and dark eyes, you should choose frames in dark, rich colors: blue-green, dark gray, lilac. Metal glasses should be matched to matte gold, bronze or silver.

It would be great if the frame of your glasses follows the shape of your eyebrows. The width of your sunglasses should match the widest part of your face. Do not wear glasses that are too wide and extend beyond your face.

Keep your hair color in focus when choosing sunglasses. For blondes, golden and silver colors are suitable. Red-haired girls should choose frames in bronze, copper and gold. For brunettes, glasses in red or brown tones are suitable.

Do not choose glasses to match your clothes - this is a sign of bad taste. It is best to purchase several pairs of sunglasses that will suit different looks.

Shapes of glasses

If your eyesight is not very good, then glasses are not just a fashion accessory for you, but a vital necessity. In this case, in addition to the recommendations already outlined above for choosing an accessory according to your face type, you need to take other points into account.

Firstly, glasses should be comfortable. Often, glasses frames have too rigid fixed nose pads. If worn for a long time, such glasses will definitely leave unsightly marks on the upper part of the nose. It is best if this part of the frame is made of silicone or has a movable design.

Secondly, the length and shape of the temples should suit you. The temples should not put pressure on your temples - this can cause headaches and fatigue.

Thirdly, the appearance of the frame should be fashionable and pleasing to the eye. You shouldn't turn into an old lady or a nerd with these glasses.
