Tips

  • Contrast: the shape of the frame you choose has to be in contrast of your face shape. For example, a round face cannot have a round pair of glasses as well. If your face is round you need angular glasses. On the contrary, if you have angular jaw-line you need to have curvy shaped glasses. This way you not only contrast the shapes but even enhance the facial features.
  • Proportion: we all want our frames to be in the perfect proportion with the entire face. But it is different from purchasing sunglasses. Sunglasses are usually larger and cover the greater part of your eyes and face. Sunglasses are more like an accessory which beautifies your look and not a proper spectacle that you need to carry off well.
  • Colors: try and choose the colors which compliment your facial features. You can always opt for black as they highlight the outline of your eyes, but then again this is not applicable for oblong faces. You could suit the frames in contrast to your skin and hair tone as they generally stand out more. It solely depends on how much of style statement you want your glasses to make!
