Although it might be necessary to wear spectacles to improve vision, the right pair of glasses frames can help showcase your style while accentuating your most striking features. From quirky, cat-eye reading glasses to simple wire frames, it can be difficult to navigate options and find a flattering style for your face. Below are three tips to make the search easier. 

A Guide to Choosing Flattering Glasses Frames

Contrast Frame Silhouette With Face Shape

When shopping for glasses, many people make the mistake of matching their face and frame shapes. Doing so can make a round face appear rounder, a square face boxier, and so on. Instead, opt for glasses frames that contrast with your face shape. Angular glasses, for example, complement the proportions of oval- and round-shaped faces, while frames with more depth than width help oblong faces appear shorter.  

Focus on Your Best Feature

When looking for glasses frames, try to choose an option that showcases the best feature on your face. Many people select the eyes, so try to pick a pair that matches the shape or color. Those with blue or green sparklers, for example, will look great in cool tones, while a frame with a strong curve will pull focus to the beauty of almond- or deep-set eyes.  

Take Your Complexion Into Account

You wouldn’t wear clothing that makes you appear washed out, so you shouldn’t choose glasses frames that clash with your skin tone. When looking for a new pair, take your complexion into account. When choosing a color, warm skin tones—those with yellow, bronze, or gold tints—look best with brown, olive green, and tortoise shades. Cool skin tones have pink and blue undertones, which look best in black, pink, blue, and gray shades.
