People who wear glasses often have no idea how to choose the kind of frames that flatter their face. The rules are quite simple and following some basic guidelines might help in choosing the most attractive frames to suit your shape of face.
If you have a wide face, never choose frames that bunch close together over the bridge of your nose. They will make your face look wider still and even draw more attention to it. Choose instead a frame that slightly overlaps the sides of your head and possibly a frame that is slightly heavier on the outer sides, either in density or in color. This will have the effect of balancing the focus to the side.
For a narrow head, try to avoid dark, heavy frames that will make you look like a string puppet. Lighter colored frames about the same width as the head will look best.
Heavy eyebrows can be attractive, especially on men but there is no point having them if you are going to cover them up with a heavy pair of spectacle frames. Rimless glasses can look very good with dark or heavy eyebrows. Alternatively, if the eyebrows are not particularly attractive, wearing a pair of frames that suspend the lenses can make a difference as the eyebrows are concealed by the top bar.
A tiny face with a tiny pointed chin can have a pixie effect and looks best with a smaller frame. A large frame will overpower the size of the face and make the person look top heavy.
Take the time to study your face and decide what shaped face you have. If you are in doubt, sit in front of a mirror and trace around the shape of your face. Transfer it to silhouette and make a decision about the shape. Place the position of the nose and the eyes because eyes that are close together or a long nose can dictate the kind of frame that will suit you. Some websites offer a frame fitting silhouette for you to try on the styles that you like. If they don’t suit you, be honest about it and opt for something that does. Nothing looks worse than a pair of frames that are the wrong shape and color.
Choose a colour that suits your complexion. If you have pale skin, lash-less eyes and freckles, the chances are you will not look good in scarlet frames. Lastly, ask a good and scrupulously honest friend!
