Tips to Choose the Right Spectacle Frame
It is not that you need to wear glasses only when you are suffering from short sightedness or any other ailment of the eye.
Spectacles help in reducing unnecessary strain to the eyes by the constant glare of computer screens and also help in preventing direct exposure of the eye to dust and other particulate matter.
The best part about getting spectacles is that they can turn from necessity to a fashion accessory which will help you look even more attractive. It is said that the eye-wear can enhance your looks triple fold.
Choosing the right spectacle frame is the key. It must be understood that the frame that looks absolutely marvelous in the showcase might not look good on you. There is a relationship between the spectacle frame and your face shape, just the way it is with the apparels.
A well chosen frame can make you look more attractive and a badly chosen one can have the opposite effect. Whenever you choose a frame, be absolutely certain that, that frame should complement the shape of the face and the size should scale the face size. There are four basic face shapes-round, square, triangular and oval. Pull your hair back and stand in front of the mirror.
Draw an outline on your reflection using a pale lipstick or soap. The shape will help you identify the shape of your face. Dark colored frames, with strong horizontal lines suit round faces the best. They make the face seem narrower. Choose a frame with a soft edge and one that sits high on the nose.
A triangular face is characterized by a wide forehead and looks best in wide frames that are squarer at the bottom. This helps to even out the face and a frame high on the nose will make the face look longer. In case of a square face, or a face line that is angular, spectacle frames that are round at the edges and high on the nose help in making the face look longer and less angular.
The people with oval shaped face need not look for any particular eyeglass frame styles. All frames suit such face shapes and any frame looks good and hence all the options are open for them.
