Choosing Best Eyewear Frame Type for Yourself

Different Shapes of FramesIf outfits can flatter all body shapes, glasses also have their ability of enhancing your face. When selecting for glasses, people are actually focusing more on how these look on their face. They keep on trying every pair of glasses on the store to find in the nearby area. They are after settling for the one that looks best on them.

However, this is very time consuming and usually takes a great effort. To narrow-down your scope of selection, it’s essential for you to understand the shape of your face.

Below is the complete list of different face shapes and corresponding frame sizes:

1.    Square Shape: Since the jaw line already creates a square shape, adding up a rectangular or square frame also helps widen the temples. It will also help make you look squarer. Round or narrow oval shapes have the ability to create contrast on your jaw line. They draw more attention to your eyes in a good way.

2.    Round Shape: Individuals who have round shape should be more careful when they take the time of choosing for their glasses. There are numerous glasses that prove to be very flattering. But, most of them provide you with an even wider look.
Rounded, large or heavy frame has the ability to weigh down your face. You can also consider rectangular and geometric shapes.  When it comes to rimless glasses, these are not mainly tress chic. The good thing about them is that they work well with your round-shaped face.

3.    Oblong Shape: Since face is somewhat narrower rather than wider, you need to take a closer look for a frame that can widen the face at the temple. You will be given with the ability of wearing wider and larger frames. These best complement the shape of your face. You can also try something rectangular and wide. Or, you can even try for rimless as long as it gets its visible “dark color” at the temples.

4.    Oval Shape: This face shape is lucky enough since it can wear any type of glass frame. You can try a variety of frames since your face does not have any restrictions.
