How To Choose A Frame That Suits You

How To Choose A Frame That Suits You:

Glasses To Suit Your Face Shape

Choosing a pair of frames can be a daunting and time consuming experience. I can safely say this, from my personal experience.
When you visit our website or walk into an opticians, there are just so many frames to choose from it can be overwhelming.
Here are some tips that will help you narrow down your choices:

Dispensing Opticians suggest that, as a general rule, you choose a frame that is the opposite of your face shape.

Round: Complement a round face with an angular frame.
Square: Soften a square face with a frame with curves.
Diamond: Balance this face shape with a round frame.
Oblong: You can make an oblong face appear shorter by choosing a frame, which covers the centre of the face, as much as possible.
Heart: Avoid choosing a frame, which is top-heavy. Choose one that has a bolder lower rim instead.
Oval: Most shapes and styles are suitable for an oval-shaped face.

Dispensing Opticians also advise that the overall size of the frame should be in proportion to the size of your face. So don’t choose a large frame if you have a small face, and vice versa.

If you want to choose a coloured frame, choose a shade that complements your hair and skin tones.

If you are an existing wearer of glasses and prefer your current frame style, I would advise you stick to the same lens shape, albeit the new frames could be full rim/half rim/rimless. The same lens shape would give you that tried and tested look.

Extra Pointers On Frame Design / Frame Materials:
Also:

Frames with spring-loaded sides allow extra flexibility and ensure greater comfort as they ensure a less pressured fit.
Titanium is the lightest and strongest frame metal available. Recommended for that lightweight and strong option.
Rimless frames offer that minimalist look and are very lightweight. However, they are not as strong as full rim glasses and can be prone to breaking if extra pressure is exerted on the frame sides. For the one who is heavy handed with their glasses should be extra careful with rimless glasses!!!
