With so many shapes of eye glasses we have nowadays, you will agree with me that its mostly difficult to choose one that perfectly fits our face. You may have an oval, circle or oblong face, choosing the right eye glass frames for your face can create a new beautiful impression of yourself.
Its necessary to consider why you are getting the eye glasses. Whether its for prescription purpose, leisure, work, fashion or sport, you can have different styles for different occasion.
How we choose the best eye glass frames depends on the following factors;
- Face Structure
- Skin Tone
- Hair Color
- Personality
Your facial structure plays a major role in knowing the right frame for your face. So, to choose the best eye glass frames for your face, you have to find out the type of facial shape you have.
If you have an oblong face, try frames that have more depth than width.
If you have an oval shaped face like egg, use eye glasses that are wider than the broadest part of your face.
For a square face to look longer and soften its angles, try narrow frame styles, frames that have more width than depth, and narrow ovals.
