One way to waste money on glasses is to choose the wrong frame. Yet making the right choice isn't difficult: just consider two factors: your face shape and the color.
Each face shape has frames that best enhance it:
- Oval face: Almost any frame works; soft or rectangular lines are ideal.
- Round face: prefer thin, square frames that make the face look slimmer.
- Square face: round or oval frames soften strong features.
- Face to heart: Frames that are wider at the bottom or have no rims help balance the forehead.
- Small or trapezoidal face: it can be enhanced with shapes that accentuate the upper part, such as the “cat-eye” and butterfly frames.
As for the color, it must harmonize with the skin tone, eyes and hair:
- Light skin: cool shades like blue, gray, silver, dove gray.
- Medium skin: neutral colors like brown, bronze, olive green.
- Dark skin: Bright colors or dark frames contrast well.
The live test is essential: comfort, stability and how the colour harmonizes with the face change.
