There are eyeglass frames styles for everyone. Choosing eyeglass frames is considered the hardest part of the eyewear process. Even those who have worn glasses most of their lives have a hard time deciding on frames styles when they need to replace the frames they have.
Most people want to find a pair of frames that look good and make them feel good too. It is very important how the eyeglasses look on their face. Many eyeglass shoppers try on several pair of frames before they select the one they think looks the best on them. Frame buyers should select a frame that contrasts with the natural shape of their face. Most people think they should buy frames that match the shape of their face but that’s not the case.
The eyeglass frames style should match the size of your face. Buying large frames when you have a small face is a mistake. The frames should also match your face features. People with dark hair and dark eyes should go for complementary frames and not pink or orange frames. To determine your face shape, stand in front of a mirror and outline your face on the mirror using erasable marker. Most faces are round, oblong, oval, triangle, diamond or square.
Oval faces can wear most styles of eyeglass frames but frames that are wide or wider than the widest part of their face typically look the best. Round faces tend to look thinner when you choose frames that help lengthen your face. Oblong frames are best for faces that are long and thin because they balance it out by providing more depth from top to bottom. Heart shaped or diamond shaped faces look best with rimless frames. These frames help to provide a contrast to your face.
Another important part of choosing eyeglass frames styles is selecting the best colors for your skin tones. People just look better in frames that complement their skin tone. There are two main skin tone colors. People with cool skin tones usually lean toward having blue/violet eyes or brown almost black eyes. Their hair is usually strawberry blond, auburn brown or platinum. There are several frames colors the work with cool skin tones. Some of these colors include black, blue-gray, magenta, pink, rose, amber and charcoal.
Warm skin tones belong to those with light brown hair and olive or bronze color skin. Some colors that work best with warm skin tones are coral, orange, white, peach, gold, copper, red and beige.
So if you are looking to buy eyeglasses remember to take all of the above information into consideration when deciding on your perfect eyeglass frames styles.
