Choosing
Right Glasses For Eyes
|
|
Glasses today have
become the hottest fashion accessories. They are available in
different styles and frames. Thus choosing the right frame of
glasses is a tough job. We have brought for you tips that will help
you choose the right frame of glasses.
|
|
|
Pinpoint your need:
First and foremost
decide you need one pair of glasses or more. That is one pair for
work and another pair for evenings and weekends. |
|
Thus after you have
pinpointed your need it will be easy for you to decide what kind of
frame you require. For work you need the simple and conservative
style. For evenings and weekends you need a more bold, ultra-modern
and ultra-feminine style. |
|
Face Shape: Your
face shape plays a key role in deciding what kind of frame will suit
you. Thus choosing the right frame will not only accentuate your
good features but will also help you in hiding the less-desirable
features. Thus try the following frames for the face shape listed
below. |
- Round Face: oval,
straight or rectangular frames, slightly larger than your face.
- Square Face: oval
frames with straight or rounded lines, in a size more or less
equal to your face.
- Triangular Face:
large frames with the top line straight or rounded.
- Oval Face: any
frame is suitable for this face type.

|
Kin
tone: Skin tone is also an
important in determining coloring. All complexions fall into one of two
color bases - blue (cool) or yellow (warm). A cool complexion has blue
or pink undertones, and a warm complexion has a "peaches and cream" or
yellow cast. Thus for cool complexion use contrasting and dark colors.
While for warm complexion use soft tones. |
|
Eye
Color: Eye colors are usually a
secondary element in determining the correct frame. Following points
will guide you. |
- Blue: grey, blue or
tortoise-shell fames.
- Green: burgundy,
violet or green frames.
- Brown: bronze or
horn-rimmed frames.
- Black: pink, silver or
gold frames.
|
|
Hair
color: If you have black/brown
hair then go in for black or navy frames. Blondes please avoid gold
frames and opt for a bronze one.
Following are the
different kinds of frames available in the market:
-
Plastic Frames: They are available in different styles and
colors. Plastic frames are also available with lamination using layers
of different colored plastics that are laminated together to create
unique colorization.
-
Rimless Frames: Rimless frames look sophisticated and chic.
Rimless glasses with lenses cut in soft shapes and in soft colors give
the perfect feminine look.
-
Frames with Tinted and flash-coated lenses: Tinted and
flash-coated lenses created to match or complement the frame's color
have celebrity appeal, creating a modern, trendy look.
