Ladies, are you looking for new frames? We've got 4 tips from Cosmopolitan to find the perfect fit for your face shape:
1. Contrast — The shape of your frame should contrast the shape of your face, so if you have rounder features, you want more angular glasses, and if you have more angular features you want to soften them with more curved shapes.
2. Proportion — In general, you want your frames to be in proportion with the rest of your face. It's different when you are shopping for sunglasses, which tend to be larger for greater coverage, but what looks good as a sunglass will not necessarily look good in optical.
3. Color — Choose a color that compliments your features. Black is always good for highlighting and outlining your eyes. Glasses that contrast the tone of your face and hair will stand out more, but it's up to you how much of a statement you want your glasses to make.
4. Face Shape — This is where it gets a little more complicated. Here's the breakdown:
Heart-Shaped Faces — Aviators and Rimless Styles
Square-Shaped Faces — Ovals and Rounded Rectangles
Narrow Faces — Taller Frames and Decorative Temples
Round Faces — Rectangular Frames and Contrast Bridges
Trapezoidal Faces — Half-Rim and Cat Eye Shapes
Oval Faces – Top-Heavy Frames and Butterfly Shapes
