Choosing eyeglasses involves considering factors such as face shape, personal style, prescription needs, and current fashion trends. Here are a few of our top tips for choosing the perfect pair of frames for your face.
- Face Shape:
- Oval Face: Most frame shapes complement oval faces. Look for frames that are as wide as the broadest part of your face.
- Round Face: Angular frames, such as rectangular or square, can add definition to a round face.
- Square Face: Round or oval frames can soften the angles of a square face.
- Heart-Shaped Face: Frames with wider bottoms or cat-eye shapes can balance a broader forehead and narrower chin.
- Diamond Face: Oval or rimless frames can complement the cheekbones and narrow forehead.
- Frame Size: Choose a frame size that matches the proportions of your face. Frames that are too large or too small may not look balanced.
- Prescription Needs: Consider the thickness of your lenses. If you have a strong prescription, certain frames may be better suited for thinner lenses.
- Frame Material: Frames come in various materials, including metal, plastic, and a combination of both. Consider your lifestyle and preferences when choosing materials.
