Searching for the right eyeglass frames
The beauty of wearing eyeglasses is the potential to change your look simply with a change in eyeglasses. You may have several eyeglasses to use for separate and different occasions. For instance, you have a separate pair of eyeglasses when you want to do sports activities and these aren’t the eyeglasses you wear when you go to work. You may even have an extra pair for emergencies as well as a separate pair for the house. Given all these circumstances for wearing different pairs of glasses, you only need to choose the right eyeglass frames and you’re all set.
How do you even begin to search for the perfect eyeglass frames for you? The first step is to know you facial shape or structure. People generally belong to one of these basic face shapes – oval, round, oblong, square, base-up triangle, base-down triangle and diamond. Once you’ve determined your face shape, it’s only a matter of finding the right frame to suit it. Ovals are the ideal because practically anything suits them. Rounds need angular frames to offset the curves. Oblongs need frames that offset the width of the face. Base-up triangles need heavy-bottom frames to offset the width of the top-third part of the face. The reverse works for base-down triangles. Diamonds are the rarest shape and they need decorative frames around the brow lines, like cat-eye shapes. To soften the angles of the squares, narrow ovals are recommended.
Now that you have an inkling of the shape of the frame that’s ideal for your face, you also have to consider your coloring and that means the color of your skin, hair and eyes. Everyone may either be a cool (blue-based) or warm (yellow-based) coloring. Cool coloring looks great with black, magenta, plum and blue-gray. Warm coloring looks great with gold, khaki, bright red and peach. You just need to experiment which color scheme looks great with your coloring.
