Glasses, beyond being practical accessories that mark your style, are the focal point of your look. For this reason, choosing appropriate frames will complement your outfit and enhance your appearance. In this regard you should keep in mind that the shape of your face and proportions are of vital importance.

In the market you will find a great variety of frames. Some are classified as complex, which frame the face and highlight the eyes; then middle frames are the type of lenses that remain in the air on one of the sides and allow you to highlight the upper part of your face; and air lenses that are attached to the temples and are good to reduce the prominence of the central area.

For both sunglasses and prescription glasses, the type of frames you choose will affect your appearance. You should not only consider the frames, you should also consider the contrast and its proportion that allow you to highlight its features.

If your face is square, you should choose aviator or rounded frames that allow you to soften your forms. Narrow frames with round or oval designs that soften your face are recommended. Avoid geometric or square frames as they will accentuate the angles of the face.

For round faces, the goal is to create angles and define them. The most flattering lenses are those that have a clear bridge, which will make your eyes look bigger and your face look more elongated. Choose rectangular models or geometric shapes that balance your face, accentuating your features. Strong designs and bright colors are recommended.

The luckiest people are the ones with an oval face, since any type of frame goes well with it. However, an elongated frame will enhance your cheekbones. You should try to maintain the balance and proportionality of the face. Choose frames that are proportional to the widest part of your face and designs that are not too wide or narrow, avoiding very large designs.

If you have a triangular-shaped face, emphasize the position of the eyes at the top. Prefer designs that have an angle in the lower part, and strong colors on the upper part. Choose oval frames with rounded edges, minimalist and simple style. The “cat eye” style is very flattering for this type of face.

For long faces, oversize and round frames will make your face look smaller, giving an angle to your face. Prefer frames that have an accented upper part that decorate the temples, which will reduce the length of your face. Avoid designs that are not proportionate to your face, such as those with small frames. Prefer oval frames with rounded edges.

Choose frames that you like, that make you feel confident about yourself and that allow you to highlight your best features, which complement the shape of your face and your skin tone and that represent your style.
