Formats
1- Oval Face
Above all, the oval face is considered the most versatile and easiest face to choose glasses frames for. It can adjust to different types of glasses models. In fact, it matches both rectangular and oval and rounder glasses.
However, before choosing glasses, it is recommended that you follow your personal taste and the environment in which you will use them. Even in the case of prescription glasses, a simpler and lighter frame is recommended.
After all, they are normally used in work environments and in everyday life. If you are looking for sunglasses, the best option is a Ray-Ban model. In fact, it should be one with a thicker and more resistant frame. For example, cat-eye glasses.
2- Square Face
The square face is a face shape with stronger features and features with straighter lines, which even frame the entire face. Furthermore, this face contains dimensions of the same size, both vertically and horizontally.
Above all, this face has a well-defined jaw line and an angular and wide chin and cheekbones area. Therefore, we suggest that you opt for glasses with more curved shapes or rounded corners, such as round glasses. This way, it will be able to bring more harmony to the lines of your face.
As for prescription glasses models, opt for more casual glasses. After all, the square face alone already conveys a lot of sobriety. However, as with sunglasses, round glasses are also recommended.
3- Triangular Face
Basically, this face shape consists of a wide forehead and a pointed chin. In fact, because they have such pronounced characteristics, they are easier to recognize. It is also worth mentioning that, due to their different characteristics, they are considered by many to be the most elegant format.
In fact, this is due to the lightness of the features of your face. Therefore, ideally, you should opt for oval glasses. This way, they will be able to maintain the delicacy of their features. Also, opt for narrower, more basic frames. Because in addition to not covering the cheekbones, they also have less detail and thinner frames.
4- Redondo
Above all, this face shape consists of a shape with similar measurements and lines and sides with few marks. In other words, it is a face with few angles and similarity in width and height. Therefore, it is recommended that you opt for geometric, square or rectangle glasses models.
Generally speaking, you need to opt for glasses with the opposite characteristics of your face. In other words, with straight, well-marked lines and thicker frames. This way, they will make your face more uniform. And they still manage to create the illusion that the face is more angular.
5- Longo
In case you didn’t know, this face model is one of the easiest to identify. In fact, they are narrow in the cheekbones and with a greater distance between the forehead and the chin. Therefore, in order to highlight the width of your face and soften the length, it is recommended that you opt for glasses with more rounded or oval frames.
6- Diamante
Exactly, there is a face shape, similar to a diamond. In fact, for those with this face shape, we recommend that you opt for glasses that have an oval bottom part. Like, the aviator glasses.
If you have a wider forehead, we recommend that you opt for narrower glasses. For example, cat-eye glasses with decorations on the temples.
Other important factors when choosing frames for your face
1- Nose
Above all, before choosing your glasses models, try to respect the size and shape of your nose. In fact, to make the glasses more comfortable on you, we recommend that you choose models with an arch between one lens and the other. This way, it won’t be tight and will make you more comfortable.
Orientals can opt for frames with platelets. After all, your nose has less curves than those of Western faces.
2- Eyebrow
Above all, glasses models serve as frames for our eyes. Therefore, they cannot compete with the size of the eyebrows. In fact, they must follow the sizes of each eyebrow. This way, the model will not look unbalanced on your face.
3- Cheekbone
Before buying glasses, look at the position of the glasses on your cheekbones. This way, they cannot be supported. Well, this not only leaves marks on your face, but it also doesn’t offer a good aesthetic for your look.
4- Eyes
Above all, there must be a balance and harmony between the distance from the eyes and the position in which the lenses are placed. In other words, in any case, try to choose glasses that create harmony between your features. And of course, look for glasses that make you comfortable and stylish at the same time.
