Glasses are an essential part of your style, especially if you need to wear them all the time. Incorrectly fitted glasses can make your face look disproportionate or distorted, while matching glasses will accentuate your style and personality. Choose glasses that emphasize the contour of your face and the color of your eyes, as well as your personal style.

Steps

Method 1 of 5: Consider the shape of your face

Some frame shapes can make the curves and corners of your face appear disproportionate, depending on the shape of your face. When you're looking for a new eyeglass frame, start by choosing a shape that enhances the beauty of your face.

1. 1 For a square, angular face, oval or round frames are best. The temples of your glasses should be centered or the frame should have a top connecting piece.
   • Avoid geometric, square frames that can accentuate the angularity of your face. Also, avoid accents of color at the bottom of the frames, as they can make your chin stand out unnecessarily.
2. 2 Consider glasses with square, rectangular or geometric frames, as they will add angularity to a soft face. However, most other shapes also work well for this type of face.
   • Avoid oversized frames.
3. 3 Look for high-rimmed glasses if your face is narrow and oblong. These glasses will visually shorten your face. Also take into account the wide glasses with emphasis on the upper rims and decorative details at the temples, as these details will add length to your face.
   • Avoid small, short frames that look disproportionate to your face.
4. 4 If you have a round face, try angular frames to spice up your features. Horizontal and rectangular frames work especially well for a round face, as they visually narrow it. Also look out for glasses that have the temples at the top of the frame, which gives the face extra length.
   • Avoid small, round frames that are out of proportion to your face and will only accentuate its roundness.
5. 5 Match oval glasses to keep your diamond-shaped face balanced. Framed glasses with upward-pointing outer corners and rimless glasses accentuate your cheekbones.
   • Avoid narrow frames that visually narrow the line of your eyes.
6. 6 To maintain balance with a heart-shaped face, choose glasses with heavy bottom rims that give the lower half of your face a visual width. These frames are especially effective if their temples are placed at the bottom or if they are narrow and round.
   • Avoid heavy-top frames. Also, do not choose glasses with decorative temples, as they tend to focus on the upper part of the face.
7. 7 Choose half-rimless glasses or with a pronounced upper rim if you have a triangular face shape. These glasses will maintain a balance between the top and bottom of your face while accentuating the top.
   • Avoid low-set temples that visually widen your chin and narrow frames that will look out of place on your face.

Method 2 of 5: Consider Your Personality

The glasses can also be used as a fashion accessory. Certain types of frames will emphasize certain traits of your character.

1. 1 Create a professional, business image by choosing conservative frame shapes like oval and rectangle.
2. 2 Complete your professional look with a traditional frame color. Men should choose glasses in silver, metal, brown or black frames. Women should pay attention to frames in brown, gold, silver, purple and coffee.
3. 3 Show off your artistic or youthful nature with unusual designs and striking details. Look for thicker, geometric or laser-patterned frames.
4. 4 Consider a less traditional eyeglass color like blue or green for a youthful look. Also, don't forget about the multi-colored frames.
5. 5 Use your glasses to show that you are young at heart, if not by passport, by choosing frame shapes that visually lift your face. Men should wear glasses with rectangular frames pointing slightly upwards, and women should wear glasses that are similar in shape to the eyes of a cat.

Method 3 of 5: Consider the color

Find a frame color that's right for you and buy frames in that color. When choosing glasses, people are classified as cold-colored people (based on blue) or warm-colored people (based on yellow).

1. 1 Examine your skin color. People with bluish or pinkish skin tones have “cool” skin tones, while people with yellow or peach skin tones have “warm” skin tones. Olive skin is between warm and cold tones, as it is a mixture of blues and yellows.
2. 2 Pay attention to the color of your eyes. Determining the warmth or coldness of your eye color can be tricky, as the spectrum of possible colors is quite wide.
   • If you have blue eyes, then you need to determine how close they are in color to a pale gray-blue color. Most blue eyes fall into the cool color category, but the closer the shade to gray, the warmer your eye color. Alternatively, you can opt for orange or peach frames, as these colors will perfectly highlight your natural eye color.
   • If you have brown eyes, determine how close to black they are. Most brown eyes usually fall into the warm color category, but very dark brown eyes usually fall into the cold color category.
   • If you have green eyes, determine if they are blue-green or yellow-green. Blue-greens are cold colors and yellow-greens are warm colors.
3. 3 Pay attention to your hair color. Cold color is represented by light blond, platinum, bluish black, white, golden red and ash brown hair. Warm coloration includes dark blond, brown-black, golden brown, light red and dusty gray hair.
4. 4 Add up the three resulting stains to determine your overall coloration. If your appearance is dominated by a warm color, then it is your overall color. If a cold color predominates in your external image, then it is your general color.
5. 5 Choose a frame in a color that matches your natural coloration well.
   • For warm colors, frames in gold, copper, camel, khaki, peach, orange, coral, off-white and red are suitable.
   • Choose frames in silver, black, rose-brown, blue-gray, plum, purple, pink, jade or blue for a cool coloration.

Method 4 of 5: General Notes

There are a few things to keep in mind before heading out for new glasses.

1. 1 Test your vision. Before you spend money on glasses, you need to get an accurate direction to get the right lenses.
2. 2 Head to an inexpensive shop that specializes in eyewear or has an eyewear section if you urgently need new lenses because yours are broken or lost.
3. 3 If you want to buy high quality eyewear, go to an optician or an eyewear boutique. As a rule, glasses in these places cost a little more, but the quality of service and goods is worth it.
4. 4 If your eyesight is not very bad, but you still want glasses, try ordering them online. Many inexpensive opticians do not sell glasses with lenses weaker than +/- 1.0. If your vision is in the +/- 0.5 region and you don't want to spend a lot of money on glasses, you should be able to find plenty of options on the Internet.

Method 5 of 5: Stick to Your Budget

You can buy quality glasses without spending a fortune on them.

1. 1 Buy only what you need. Glasses can have a wide variety of properties, such as a special anti-scratch coating or a coating that changes color to protect the eyes from UV rays. While these properties can be useful, they are generally not absolutely necessary. If you are on a budget, do not chase extra gadgets and buy only the most common glasses.
2. 2 Avoid branded eyewear unless you are on a budget and do not need to have the latest fashion glasses.
3. 3 Look for coupons and discounts. If you buy your glasses from a supermarket or a popular optician, you can probably find coupons for your next purchase in magazines or on the Internet.
4. 4 Check your health insurance. It is possible that some of the cost of the glasses may be covered by your insurance if you purchase the glasses at a specific location. Depending on your insurance company, you may have a choice of more or fewer distributors.

Tips

• Always measure your glasses in front of a mirror before buying them. Even if the correct lenses have not yet been inserted, you can still get at least some idea of ​​how they look on you.
• If you have severe myopia, remember that the thickness of the frame of your glasses will depend on the thickness of your lenses; the radius of the lenses is directly proportional to the thickness of their edges. As a result, you will have to choose a thicker frame to support thick lenses if you do not want the lenses to bulge.
• If you have very poor eyesight, you may find it difficult to see how certain glasses look on you. If possible, ask a relative or friend with good taste to go with you to the optician when you choose your glasses. They will be able to tell you whether certain glasses suit you or not.
• Try to choose a frame style that reflects your personality or personality. If you are an artist, you can choose a multi-colored frame, if you are a football player, a black and white frame; if you are shy, then you should choose a frame in a neutral color; whatever your choice, it should reflect who you are.
