Choosing
a right eyeglasses frame for your face depends upon how different frames
compliment your facial structure.
|
The
size of the eye glasses frame should be in proportion to face size, as an
oversized frame will make your face appear diminutive. Despite the shape of the
frame, your eyes should be centered within the lens opening of the frame. The
eyeglasses frame should be wide enough so there is just slight clearance
between the frame temples and the sides of your head. The size and weight of
your eye glasses should be in proportion to your body size and weight. If you
have a slim or small build then you should choose thinner or more delicate
frames for a balanced look.
|
The
anti reflection lenses
are the lightest lens available. You can even choose plastic lenses with
anti reflective coating
for the perfect appearance. If you are having the
bifocal
prescription for your eyeglasses then you can also choose the
progressive
lenses to avoid the old- fashioned
bifocal lines
in your eyeglasses frames.
|
In
general, the most appropriate eyeglasses frame shape is the opposite of your
face shape. For example Angular-shaped faces look better with rounder frames.
Softer, fuller faces are superior with sharper-edged frame shapes. After
choosing the best frames which suites your face, you need to choose the correct
color of your eyeglasses. If you prefer a colored frame, opt for one that
enhances skin tone and hair shade, rather than just choosing the trendy "color
of the moment."
|
Our
faces are not always in perfect balance, so be sure glasses rest evenly on ears
and that they cross your eyebrows at the same level to avoid a seesaw effect.
|
The
eyeglasses frames color should praise the skin. Skin tone is broadly mentioned
as warm or cool. A warm skin tone has a bronze, golden, or "peaches and cream"
cast. A cool skin tone has blue or pink undertones.
|
Most
eyewear experts have the same opinion for the frame colors, which best
complement each skin tone as follows.
|
Frame
colors for warm skin tones
|
Gold,
Bronze, Copper, Tortoise, Brown & Aqua.
|
Frame
colors for cool skin tones
|
Silver,
Blue, Blue-grey, Pink, Violet & Charcoal.
|
The
procedure above will help you select frame colors that are the ones most likely
to complement your appearance. However sometimes you may wish to break the
above "rules" for a more spectacular look. If you like the look, then go for
it.
