Did you know that for every face, there exists an
ideal pair of glasses? In fact, the choice of frame shape is dependent on the
ophthalmic needs of the lenses being mounted, but it varies for men and women,
according to face shape and even ethnic group of origin.
How do you choose the ideal pair of glasses for you?
You should certainly take the advice of your trusted optician. But if you want
to build an idea for yourself anyway, here are some rules- even while urging
you to break some of them in order to find surprising and original
combinations.
Let's begin with feminine faces:
Long, rectangular faces wear well frames that are a little bit larger
than the face, in rectangular or oval shapes. This way, the face looks much
more proportional and less sharp.
Square shapes complement round faces, making them
appear longer and thinner.
Seeking to add volume to the front is the advice we
give to women with diamond-shaped faces: oval or butterfly frames, important on
the upper part but with dimensions contained within the oval of the face.
Triangular faces should choose frames that descend down towards the
cheeks, preferably in a circular shape, a double bridged aviator or a deep cat
eye.
For small, heart-shaped faces round frames are perfect for highlighting
the chin and cheeks.
Women with an oval face? The luckiest: free to
emphasize the perfect face with any shape.
