The trendiest kind of eye glasses frame is not necessarily the perfect frame for your face. What is more important to you, the latest fad or the eye glasses frame that makes your face look the best? To find the perfect fit in eye glasses frames you will need to understand the shape of your face and how the frames will fit your face. You do not have to have trendy designs to look great.
Your first consideration in choosing the perfect frame for your face is to find a shape that balances the shape of your face. The opposite of the shape of your face is your best choice for a good look. The size you choose is however, a different consideration. The frame size needs to match the size of your face. A frame that is too big for delicate features will overpower the face. Frames that are larger will make a dramatic effect if the facial features are large enough to handle the frames. If, however, your objective is to emphasize or draw attention to delicate features then the larger frame is a good choice. Square frames are excellent for emphasizing a square jaw and drawing attention to this feature.
There are basic shapes to faces and finding the frame that fits the basic shape of the face is half the battle. The most common shape is the oval face and it is easy to wear almost any kind of frame shape with this type of face. The choices are huge so the person with an oval shape to their face can just try on different frames and see which one makes them feel the best.
For a face shape that is considered round, the best frame would be one that will decrease the roundness of the face's curves. This would be a frame that has square lines but not too much height. This then makes the lines of the face seem wider than round.
The heart shaped face happens when the temples and the forehead are wider and the then narrows at the chin. The best frame for this kind of face shape is one that is actually the reverse of the heart shape with the narrower part of the shape at the top and the wider part at the bottom which is a counterbalance for the heart shape of the face. This may be a little hard to find so a good alternative might be using the square shape with the bottom squared off and the top more rounded. The most flattering will be either partly rimless or rimless kinds of frames.
If your face is angular with the temples, cheeks, forehead and jaw line all about the same in width, with the width and the length of your face about the same, you have a square face. For this kind of shape, try either oval or rounded frames. The frame is best when it has more width than height in order to counteract the square appearance of your face.
When your face shape is longer than it is wide it is considered a narrow face. For this type of face shape the best choice is a frame that is wider than it is long. A frame that is wider than the width of your face will make your face look even narrower and the corrective part of the lenses will not be in the right spot to be effective. The frames that are semi-rimless will help break up the length of the narrow face.
These are some choices for finding the perfect eye glasses frame that will not only fit your face type but will make you more attractive. A proper fit on the frame will also mean the corrective lenses are in the optimal placement to help your vision. - 29959
