Eyeglasses SOS
Eyeglass are part of the visually impaired but this doesn’t mean that these people should hate it. today even those who do not have visual “disabilities” still prefer to wear eyeglasses without any grade than to go bare.
Learn to love your glasses. There have been some cases wherein people who wear glasses hate them because they claim “it ruins the ‘look’.
Here are some tips on how to look good with your glasses. so if you are opting for one pair of eyeglasses choose a good neutral color that will compliment you and the type of clothes you wear. Mid-tone neutrals, such as smoky Grey, tortoiseshell, medium navy and olive are best for workaday eye frames. If your budget runs to a second pair, choose something more fun for weekends, which expresses both your seasonal colors (loud colors would be nice) and your style personality.
So we got the color problem out of the way now it comes down to the shape of the frame. In selecting glasses, choose frames that complement or contrast with the shape of your face - but do not repeat it. For example, round glasses on a round face would be uninteresting. Square glasses on a square, full face would be even worse, making the face appear wider and the jaw line severe. For people who have very bold features with sharp edges a nice round or elongated frame would complement your face.
Select frames that are in proportion with your face. If petite, you need more delicate styles; if you choose large frames you will look dwarfed. The large faced woman needs frames that are more substantial; delicate ones would look too lightweight. Balance is the key.
- Frames should be: no wider than the face;
- in line with the eyebrows at the top;
- no lower than the highest point of the nostril contour.
Some notes:
Rectangular or round frames of eyeglasses are best for narrow faces; the aviator style is also good.
Choose eyeglasses with softened edges not angular ones are best suitable for square or rectangular faces. Square faces should avoid large frames - they look best if no lower than the top of the cheek.
Square or rectangular styles of eyeglasses give definition to round faces.
Choose darker, stronger bridges of eyeglasses which have the effect of bringing the eyes together. That’s essential when you have wide-set eyes.
Choose a low or dark bridge to shorten the nose if you have a long one. Short noses benefit from high or clear bridge which makes the most of a small nose.
If your eyes are close-set choose clear or narrow bridges which lighten the area and won’t make the eyes seem even closer together.
