How to pick glasses that look good on your face

Heart

The narrow cheekbones and prominent chin are typical of the heart face form. The width of the top of the face should be kept to a minimum with frames. This form goes well with curved frames that have a thin rim and don’t sit high on the face. Ladies should choose a model that is incredibly feminine, like the brand-new, Mad Men-inspired acetate combo frames. This frequently dated style protects the eyes from the sun with acetate “eyebrows” and metal lower rims while adding a contemporary feline edge.

Avoid bright colours and big, dramatic shapes when choosing an optical model, and go for one that leans outwards at the top. Avoid wearing glasses with a semi-rim, which will highlight the wider portion of the heart form.

Following eyewear trend, you may choose a pair of aviator glasses because they will draw attention to the shape of your face. Because they complement the majority of face shapes, offer a bit of understatement and masculinity, and are a timeless choice, aviators are very popular. Make sure the aviator shape you choose for this season has opulent “oil slick” mirrored lenses to add drama.

Long

Attempt beautiful round frames with gentle sculptural sweeps that are reminiscent of the 1930s. A circular shape in a high-impact jewel tone also works well for a more graphic appearance without adding too much weight from black. When picking eyeglasses, go for models with depth rather than width, and add colourful, contrasting, or ornate temples to shorten the face.

Regardless of facial type, heavy tortoiseshell frames are worn because they are connected with the modern architecture of Philip Johnson and Nicholas Grimshaw. Guys who want to live large use enormous frames to match their Onassis-sized ambitions. Straight long hair complements aviator sunglasses and voluptuous rounder frames beautifully.

Square

Think Francoise Hardy when considering how to wear big round and square shapes on a slender face and square jaw. Bright colours and rimless styles give the appearance of being very light and effortless, which will make a face appear narrower. Choose from the gentle neutral, and nude tones as a starting point for colour, or opt for sunglasses with graduated acetate for a softer approach. I always observe how makeup is applied. Both black and the new nude translucent hues look fantastic with red lips.

When selecting glasses that you will wear every day, comfort is crucial. Basically, you should not even notice that you are wearing them. The trends will get heavier and more painful on the bridge of the nose as they get bolder and bigger. No of the design, a high-quality handcrafted frame will take this into account. Try the newest “combination” versions, which have fine metal bridges and bold acetate rims and are quite pleasant to wear.

Round faces

They look their finest in stunning boxy, narrow rectangular, and geometric designs that are wider rather than deeper – think 1980s vintage. This will balance out your fuller facial features and provide the impression that your face is thinner.

If your hair is long, choose frames with temples that match your shade and come from the top rather than from the middle for a more contemporary look. The frames should have soft angles in the brow line and should be wider than the widest region of your face. Consider using a brow bar, which naturally lifts the eye.

Try thin frames with strong angles and high temples on males to lengthen the face. A clear bridge and coloured temples visually shorten the space between the eyes. Similarly, to minimise big cheeks and steer clear of small frames, choose deeper hues like a rich dark tortoise or black. The greatest approach to make frames uniquely yours at a reasonable cost is to replace the lenses. The majority of opticians stock a wide variety of colourful, graded, mirrored, and even gold-plated lenses.

Oval 

 Oval-faced people typically have beautiful features, so they should pick smaller, less imposing frames. Throw prudence to the wind when selecting sunglasses and experiment with novel styles, like the season’s octagonal shapes that were inspired by the 1970s Golden Trail.

Avoid using thin frames on your opticals, and make sure the model you select sits and covers the middle of your face to balance the length. Moreover, make sure the frames aren’t any wider than the face’s widest point. It will look best in a traditional cat’s-eye, rectangular form.
