First and foremost, we must learn how to determine the shape and proportions of the face correctly. This will help to choose glasses that are precisely suit your face. Moreover, many specialists believe that properly selected glasses will help to change for the better natural shape of the face if it is needed.
If a person is round-faced, it is better to select broad, preferably angular frame, its width should prevail over height. This would make a face narrower.
Those who have rectangular face, in no case should wear rectangular frames. It is better to choose the oval frame, which would have width prevailed over height. The frame «cat's eye» would perfectly suit in this case; it would make a face not so angular.
If a person has triangular face, and cheekbones that are broader than eyes line, you'll need a male frame selected in such a way that its width approximately would be equal to the width of the lower jaw. This would balance the natural imbalance.
And vice versa, if the base of triangle is on the top and chin is narrowed comparing to the cheekbone and forehead, you need something light, for example semi-rimless or rimless glasses. It is better to choose not broad but narrow frame.
People with oblong face look just perfectly in the right chosen frame. If a person has noticeably elongated face, rectangular frame would suit the best. It softens the contours of the face. Oval-faced people may select more angular frame or non-geometrical or even unusual frames, such as rhomb or elongated from top to bottom frame.
For those who have rhomb-shaped face with the broad cheekbones, it is better to choose the frame upper part of which is placed above the eyes line and is wider than the lower part of the glasses. This would help the cheekbones to look not so large. Also, in this case, try on the frame with a more expressive in color and shape the upper part or the frame or semi-rimless frame. The «cat's eye» glasses also look amazingly on the rhomb-shaped face.
Do not give up if the shape of your face doesn’t refer to the categories that are mentioned above. Remember: there are very much unusual faces. The basic rule - do not aspire that the frame would visually follow the contours of your face. Seek and you will find exactly what suits you!
