How to Choose Suitable Eyeglasses for You
Here we would tell you three main points for choosing suitable eyeglasses. you simply need to determine your face shape and coloring, and understand which eyeglass frame styles and colors would look best on you
(1) Face Shapes:
Here are three main points to fellow:
- Eyewear should repeat your personal best feature
- The frame shape should contrast with the face shape.
- The frame size should be in scale with the face size.
Most faces are a combination of shapes and angles, but we can also divide into seven basic face shapes: round, oval, oblong, heart-shaped, and square.
Square face: try round and oval style frames with sides set at the top of the frame. Avoid thin, angular and square styles, and those with color emphasis on the bottom rim.
Round face: A round face has curvilinear lines with the width and length in the same proportions and no angles. To make the face appear thinner and longer, try angular narrow eyeglass frames to lengthen the face, a clear bridge that widens the eyes and frames that are wider than they are deep, such as a rectangular shape.
Oval face: try modern small, geometric styles .avoid styles that are uncomfortable to wear or that you feel do not suit your face
Long face: The long face is longer than it is wide and has a long straight cheek line and sometimes a longish nose. To make the face appear shorter and more balanced, try frames that have a top-to-bottom depth, decorative or contrasting temples that add width to the face or a low bridge to shorten
Heart-shaped face: try slender, rounded or square styles, with lower set sides. Avoid styles which are wider at the top; these will reflect the face shape rather than balance it.
(2)Color Analysis
- All people have either a cool (blue-based) or warm (yellow-based) coloring.
- Everyone looks best in his or her own color base.
- Eyewear color should complement personal coloring.
While choosing eye glasses, you have to consider the color of your skin and your hair. Eyewear color should complement personal coloring. Once you have determined if you are “warm” or “cool”, then you can find the eyeglass frame colors that will suit you the best. If you have a bluish tinge to your skin, then you are considered to have cool skin coloring. For cool skin tones, bolder, darker, and more defined colors are suitable while choosing eyewear.
(2) Suit your Personality
Your choice of eye wear will also depend on what type of person you are and where it is that you most spend your time. If you are a conventional businessperson or work in a conservative workplace, then the ideal pair of eye glasses for you would be in the traditional oval, almond, or rectangular shapes. Colors such as black, brown, silver, golden, grey, and dark burgundy; may be the best way to go as far as eyewear is concerned. Bold colors and unusual shapes may not be the most appropriate.
