Hello Ladies --A little overwhelmed when it comes to picking out new expensive frames? I find it more doable making one decision at a time. Try this:
CHOOSE THE SHAPE
First determine your face shape: oval, round, square, oblong, triangle, upside down triangle or diamond. Then choose a frame that CONTRASTS your face shape. So if you have an oval face your frames should be fairly rectangular or boxy.
CHOOSE THE SIZE
The frame should be in scale with your face. I know, the trends say go big, real big! But frames are money and need to last longer then the season for most of us - so I say choose what looks best, not what J-Lo is currently wearing.
CHOOSE COLOR
Our skin, hair and eye color makes up our individual coloring. You can choose to compliment your warm or cool coloring or contrast it. Some people say that if you have blue eyes you should choose a blue frame to compliment. I'm too traditional/practical in the sense that I would recommend a metallic or neutral color for everyone to ensure your glasses will go with everything you wear.
CHOOSE RIM or RIMLESS
If you want the appearance of your glasses to be hardly noticeable go with rimless frames. If you want your frames to truly frame your eyes, by all means choose rims.
