Whether you’re looking for a new pair of sunglasses ready for summer, or a pretty pair of reading glasses, it’s essential you find a pair that suit you. Not only should they fit in with your own personal style, they should also suit your face shape. Some glasses will make your face look more attractive, but others can do your face an injustice. Here’s what to do when you need to find new glasses:
Find Your Face Shape
Are you unsure of your face shape? To find out what it is you don’t have to put in much effort. Grab an old lipstick and a mirror, and draw around your face with your hair tied back. Look back at the shape, and there’s your answer! Is it round? Square? Oval? Heart? Each face shape has pros and cons, and things that suit it and things that don’t. Some people might not have a very obvious face shape, so you’ll need to decide whether you want your frames to soften your features or harden them.
Research Frames that Suit You
In general, the frames that suit your face shape will be the opposite sort of shape. So, a round face would sound square frames and even cat eye shaped frames. A square face would suit rounder frames. It’s all about either softening your angles or creating angles to make a more well balanced face shape. Most people desire the oval face shape, as it suits pretty much everything! I personally love square/cat eye shaped frames and think they’d really suit my style!
Find Something to Suit Your Style and Personality
It isn’t just about face shapes though: you need something that’s going to suit your style and personality. If you love vintage, then a pair of retro frames would suit you down to the ground. However, a more modern lady would likely prefer a sleeker pair of frames. If you’re quite outgoing, then something bold would suit you. If you’re more the shy and retiring type, you’ll want something that doesn’t draw too much attention.

Consider the Colour of Your Frames
The colour of your frames is a big deal too. For some, black may look too harsh, while brown may not suit the clothes that they wear. You can get frames in every colour imaginable, so you’ll need to consider a number of factors before you make your choice:
-
What will suit your eye colour?
-
What will suit your hair colour?
-
What will suit your current wardrobe?
-
What will suit the makeup you like to wear?
OK, now you’ve thought about all of this you should have at least a shortlist of frames you’d like. If I’m torn between a few pairs, I’ll always take a picture of myself in them to look back at later and decide. Happy shopping!
