When choosing a frame, the shape of the face is one of the most important criteria to take into account. How is your face? Is it round, oval, square, …? Well, depending on the shape of your face, these are the forms of glasses that you should choose:

If your face is round

Square or rectangular frames are usually wider than a round face. This quality can enhance your face as it will make you appear slimmer, adding balance to your facial features.

However, you should avoid small round rimless glasses as they accentuate the round shape of your face so your face will look even rounder than it is.

If your face is oval

Frames that fit a face like yours should have a solid bridge, are wider than the widest part of the face, and have a geometric shape.

You should avoid frames that are too large and cover more than half of your face, as they lose the natural balance and symmetry of the oval face.

If your face is square

Glasses that soften the angularity and sit high on the bridge of the nose look best on square faces. Oval or round ones balance and add a slimmer look to the angles of a square face.

Angled and rectangular frames should be avoided as they accentuate and draw attention to your angular features, making your face appear voluminous.

If your face is diamond shaped

In that case, since your face has a narrow forehead and chin, you should choose frames that overlap or are wider than your cheekbones, for example cat-eye or oval glasses. These frames will accentuate your cheekbones and features.
In this case you should avoidr Rectangular and narrow frames, accentuating the width of your cheeks and drawing attention to your narrow features rather than enhancing them.

If your face is heart-shaped

Frames that balance the width of the forehead with the narrowness of the chin are ideal. Glasses with frames that sit lower and have thick shapes will add thickness to that narrowest part of your face. Round or square glasses with curved edges will distract from a long, broad forehead.

Avoid any style or color that draws attention to the forehead. This includes frames with decorated or embellished rods.

Another element to consider when choosing the perfect frame is the tone of your skin, but even more important we could say that it is the color of your hair and really decisive the color of your eyes. But let’s focus on the tone of your skin determines and in this case you should choose a shade of glasses that is as close as possible to your skin tone:

If your skin tone is warm

If your skin has a pale, bronze or golden undertone, it means that you have a warm complexion. Avoid colors like pastels. Black and white frames are not flattering either. Instead, the best colors for you are light turquoise, variants of brown, gold or honey, beige and yellowish green.

If your skin tone is cold

If your skin has pink or blue undertones, it means that you have a cool complexion. Avoid colors that “darken” it and instead choose frames in silver, black, deep turquoise, pink, purple, blue, mauve and gray.

Every lifestyle has its framework! Think about the activities you do while wearing your glasses. If you are an active person, support a dynamic lifestyle and not be picky. If you spend a lot of time in front of screens, in addition to wearing a comfortable frame, remember to wear glasses that protect you from the harmful radiation emitted by screens. Do not forget that glasses can highlight your personality or the image that you want to convey to others, an image of a professional, fun, sporty person …, in other words, glasses are one more fashion accessory that will allow you to highlight a suit, a tie or a purse.

Of course we could not forget the element on which everything else rests. You know the saying: no matter how much the monkey dresses in silk, the monkey stays. Don’t let a poor frame choice detract from your personality.

The frames you wear can reveal a lot about your personality. You can wear a pair of glasses that show off your fun side on the weekends and another pair that highlights your business profile during the week.

Well, I hope that the post can be of help to you and allows you to choose glasses that are perfect for you.
