How to choose the right frame for your face

While you can leverage the free eye test at Bury and Walkden to buy the right prescription glasses for you, choosing a frame out of the exciting variety available is still a task. If you believe your frames to be an intimate fashion accessory that adds to your personality, you would surely want to give enough thought before choosing a style for yourself. To make things easier for you, I have put forward this guide for choosing the perfect pair of spectacles for yourself. Read on.

What is your face shape?

Wearing the right shape of glasses and frames for your face can help to accentuate your features and add or balance angles on it. However, remember that this is just a guide, and you can choose to wear whatever style you feel suits you the best.

  • Frames for round faces

Round faces generally bear softer features and angles than any other face shape. Also, with slightly wider cheekbones and forehead, you need a frame that can add angles to your face. The right frame for your glasses will have bold angles and clean lines. You can choose rectangular or square shaped spectacles with a lower rim sitting just above your cheekbone.

  • Frames for square faces

With edges and sharp angles all over their face, square shaped faces need a frame to soften their features. You have a square face if you have an almost equally proportionate face due to a straight line that runs between your forehead and the jawline. The perfect frames for you come in the round or oval shapes with glasses slightly wider than the cheekbones.

  • Frames for triangular faces

Triangular faces can be identified by a jawline that is wider than any other part of the face and gradually narrows down till the forehead. To bring balance to your facial features, you need a frame that is bold from top and light from the lower rim. Cat-eye glasses with highlighted upper rim and browline frames can work best for you.

  • Frames for heart-shaped faces

Heart-shaped face shape is just opposite to triangular faces- the forehead wider than the jawline. If you have a heart-shaped or inverted triangular face, you know that those high cheek bones contribute to your cheerful personality. Though you are blessed with a face shape that can go well with any frame style, choosing a frame with a highlighted lower rim can further add to the charm. 

A frame for every game

  • College

As a college student, you have the liberty to experiment with different styles, colours, shapes and even materials. You can wear a frame as basic and simple as a black wayfarer to a frame as thoughtful and fancy as a tortoiseshell printed aviator. It all just depends on the occasion, your outfit and your mood.

  • Office

After long months of lockdown, most of us are finally returning to our offices. And with the updated autumn 2020 eyewear collection, you too need to upgrade your wardrobe with the latest eyewear trends to walk back to your office in style. Thin metallic rims in gold, silver or rose-gold are the best option for office wear if you are someone who prefers understated elegance. Also, if you like to go a little bold, you can get cat-eye glasses or wayfarers in basic shades.

  • Work from home

Work from home eyewear needs to be comfortable and lightweight as you have to wear it for long hours and sturdy so you don’t break your glasses with the messy stuff on your workstation (cum bed). You can choose any style of frame in acetate material. I don’t recommend plastic because unlike acetate, it’s neither hypoallergenic nor flexible.

  • Movie night

Now that lockdown is almost over, you would want to call over your friends for an exciting movie or gaming night. For that, you can choose any frame of your choice, but just don’t skip to add a blue light coating on the prescription glasses to protect yourself from the high intensity blue rays emitted by your TV screen.
