With more and more people of our generation needing glasses, knowing what to look for is key in making you look your best! There are always several things to factor in when trying to decide which pair of glasses best suits your face. As all of us know who have to wear glasses, the right pair can either make or break us.
First step is to determine the shape of your face. There are 4 face shapes:
One quick and easy way to determine your face shape is to literally trace the outline of your face. This can be done with a pen and a piece of paper placed on top of a photo of your face, or you can always trace your face in the mirror using a dry erase pen, lipstick, or some other temporary marker.
Determine the widest part of your face:
Oval: Forehead- Narrow Cheeks- Wide Chin- Narrow
Round: Forehead- Rounded Cheeks- Wide Chin- Rounded
Heart: Forehead- Wide Cheeks- Wide Chin-Narrow
Square: Forehead- Wide Cheeks- Wide Chin- Wide
1. OVAL FACE
When your face is this shape, you'll want to choose frames that are longer to break up the length of your face. This is the easiest of all the face shapes to find glasses for because you can pull off almost any look!!
2. ROUND FACE
When your face is this shape, you'll want to choose frames that add angles, are structured and slim. When your lenses are wider than they are deep your best option is for a dark frame. This will also help define your face.
3. HEART FACE
When your face is this shape, you'll look for a frame shape that will help to balance the width of your face. Best way to help minimize the width of the top of your face is to choose a frame that widens at the bottom.
4. SQUARE FACE
When your face is this shape, you'll want to AVOID glasses with hard lines that make your face look even more square.
Rule of thumb when choosing glasses: Always remember that the more angular your features are then the more rounded your glasses should be!!
