Different Spectacles for different Faces

Ever have trouble trying to figure out what kind of frame is best for your face? Well, you’re in luck!
Glasses for fashion are proving to be highly popular for both men and women. There are so many different styles and colors of frames that there is a perfect frame for everybody. The ideal frame can enhance your shape, eye, and hair color as well as your overall style.

When choosing a pair of glasses for fashion, it is important to think about your lifestyle and the occasions on which you would be most likely to be wearing your glasses. In which case you may want to choose a pair of frames that are a classic shape such as a rectangle or an oval, with a traditional silver or black frame.

Glasses for All Kinds of Shapes

Here’s the truth about face shapes: almost nobody is a perfect heart, circle, square, or any other narrowly defined category. Most faces are a combination of a few different shapes: rounded chins and tall foreheads, angular features and tapered jaws, and so on.

Trying to pick just one stock image out of a lineup can feel impossible. What you want is the shape that looks the most like yours — even if your chin is a little more pointed than the “typical” oval, or your forehead a little wider than the “usual” inverted triangle. These are all just guidelines to help you determine how to balance and complement your features, not unbreakable rules.

Glasses for Square Face Shape

Square faces often have bold, angular features and cut a clean, straight line from the forehead to the jaw. Rounded and thinner frames that are slightly wider on the side will have a harmonious and natural look on square faces.

Square-shaped faces will want to choose the opposite shape for glasses such as:

round glasses
oval-shaped frames

You will want frames that are proportional to the length and width of your face. Round and oval-shaped frames will soften the hard angles in a square-shaped face and add balance. They also suit diamond-shaped faces.

Draw attention away from the angles: The best way to flatter the facial features of a square face is to bring the attention away from the square shape with colored frames.

Glasses for Round Face Shape

Round faces are all soft curves and smooth lines with a face that is roughly the same width from the jaw up through to the brow. With round faces, the cheeks are usually full and the chin is rounded with very few angles. Unlike some other face shapes, a round face is often very distinguished because it is all about the curves. For women, large and bold styles draw attention to the eyes and make the face appear smaller.

Fitting Tips
The most important thing to remember when choosing glasses for round face shapes is to select frames that work to add angles. They look great in bold, angular glasses with clean lines.

Glasses for Heart Face Shape

Heart-shaped faces are widest at the brow, narrowing down through to the chin with high cheekbones. This face shape can be either long or round and often gives the owner a sweet and cheerful look.

This is typically thought of as the most versatile of all the face shapes. A heart face typically has a broader forehead and prominent cheekbones paired with a narrower chin. Round frames can make the more angular heart shape appear softer, while rectangle frames add balance.

Glasses for Triangle Face Shape

Triangular faces are widest on the bottom, narrowest on top. So you want to find a mirror-opposite frame: bold on top, light on the bottom. With a mix of round and angular shapes such as the following will particularly fit triangular faces:

D-frames
aviator
cat-eyes glasses
And if you want to make a bolder statement, a round style offers an interesting shape to angular features.

Glasses for Oval Face Shape

People with oval faces fit with most frame shapes. With a narrower forehead and slightly narrow chin, oval is considered the most universal face shape — so have fun with the latest trends because most work for you.

This, however, doesn’t mean that you can pick up any frame off the shelf.  The frame should emphasize the strong points and deemphasize the weak points of your face so that your face looks perfectly balanced. For an oval face, it means emphasizing the natural balance of the face and adding angles to its soft curves.

Look for a frame that is as wide as the widest part of your face, which is the area around the eyes. In this respect, the most suitable eyeglasses frames for oval faces are:

square,
rectangular or
geometric shapes.

Now that you know how to find the right glasses for your face shape, you’ll be able to find a pair that will look harmonious and will bring a natural balance to your face.
