Fitting your eyeglasses frame to your shaped face is actually very easy when you get the hang of it. These rules will work for any type of glasses frames, including sunglasses, prescription glasses , progressive glasses, reading glasses and safty glasses.
First, you should determine your face style. One easy way is to ask your relatives or friends. They don’t need to go in to too much detail here. Ask them if your face is shaped more like an oval, square or rectangle, triangle or heart, or if it is round like a circle. You can also take a look in the mirror and decide for yourself.
Second, when you know your face shape, what style eyeglass frame will most compliment it?
For this article we will address the triangle or heart shaped face. This face shape is defined by a broad forehead leading to a more narrow mouth and chin.
You should select a pair of eyeglasses with an eyeglass frame that has a thin rim, avoid heavy bottom rims. This will help to balance out the lower portion of your face and jaw line. Selecting an eyeglasses frame with squared sides that have a vertical element to them will accentuate the overall face shape. For the top portion of the eyeglasses frame, look for angled styles or those that will contour the brow bone.
Third, look for glasses frames where the temples meet the lenses higher up. If the temples contact the glasses frame too low, the glasses frame will ride to high and will not look good. If you select an eyeglasses frame with nose pads, this will help you in adjusting the eyeglass frame height to suit your face.
Now you can shop easily and comfortably for the perfect eyeglass frame for your face.
