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.
The first thing that you need to do is to find a shape that is almost the opposite of the shape of your face as a counterbalance. The frame also needs to be very similar to your face in size. A frame that is too large for a small face will overwhelm the delicate features. On the other side of the coin though, to feature certain aspects of your face, the larger eye glasses frame will bring attention to certain positive features of your face. For instance, if it is a square jaw that you want to emphasize, using a square frame will draw attention to the strength of this type of jaw.
Faces come in basic shapes and finding the perfect frame for the face type makes a big difference in the overall look you are trying to achieve. For the oval face type, the choices are almost unlimited because this is considered a perfect shaped face and can handle almost any eye glasses frame effectively. Try them on and see which one feels good to you.
If your face is round, you will need to choose a frame that will tend to minimize the round curves of your face. A frame that has square lines can work well but keep the height downsized. This will make the face seem wider and less 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.
The narrow face is usually a longer looking face than its width. With this kind of shape in the face the frame needs to have greater width than length. Be careful not to get a frame that is too wide for your narrow face. It will not be flattering and the part of the lenses that have the correction will not be in the proper place for good sight. If the frame is semi-rimless the length of the narrow shape of the face will be minimized.
Now you have a few ideas for finding the perfect eye glasses frame for your unique face shape. The perfect frame will not only enhance your appearance but will make the placement of the corrective parts of the lens in the best position for good eyesight. - 29871
