It's easy to get confused when picking out a new pair of glasses -- so many colors, so many styles, so many prices, so little time. Worst of all, while you may be able to try them on in the store, it's hard to be sure how you'll feel after living with them for a few days, or how good any given pair of glasses will look when combined with the thickness of your lenses. One way to tip the odds in your favor when choosing new frames is to do a little advance planning as to how to pick a style that will go well with your face shape and size. The following steps will get you started.

-Step 1: Evaluate the size of your face. Larger faces tend to need larger frames, while smaller faces need smaller frames. Sounds self-explanatory, but this can be hard to remember when you keep thinking about how cute that little pink pair over there is.

-Step 2: Evaluate your coloring, based on your skin tone and hair color. If you have blond, red, black, or golden-brown hair, you are fairly likely to look better in warm colors, such as copper, gold, orange, and some bright reds. If you've got white hair, dark brown hair, black hair with blue undertones, or strawberry blond hair, you're likely to look best in frame colors such as pink, blue, black, some shades of purple, or tortoiseshell.

-Step 3: Evaluate the shape of your face. Is it round, oval, square, or oblong? If you have trouble determining which shape best fits your face, many websites can help.

-Step 4: You're ready to try glasses on! Keeping in mind the colors likely to look best on you, you will also want to consider sizes and shapes that will de-emphasize any problems. Oval faces have the most diversity, and can wear most styles, as long as the frames are at least as wide as the face. For a round face, you'll want glasses that make your face look thinner and longer, emphasizing angles. Rectangular frames might look good. For a square face, you'll want oval frames to soften the angles (round frames would be too harsh a contrast). Whatever shape your face, your glasses will look best if they fit-- or even increase -- the visual balance of your overall look.

As you try on glasses, consult with the optometrist's assistant or shop assistant, for a second opinion and for advice on whether the thickness of your lenses will make the frames look substantially different. Remember, it may still take some time to pick out the perfect pair of frames, so make sure not to rush yourself.

What type of specs suit on roundface?

Glasses on round faces should be angular, to break the roundness of the face. Also, round faces tend to be short, so choose ones that are wider than they are deep, as deep glasses hide more of the face making it appear even shorter. Heart-shaped faces suit both round and angular glasses, but heart-shaped faces should avoid glasses that are wider at the top than they are at the bottom at all costs. Oval faces tend to be the best face shape when it comes to glasses. Round or angular are both fine, as oval faces tend to be softly rounded with high cheekbones. Square faces are angular, so oval and round glasses are better for them. Oblong faces should avoid small or narrow square-shaped glasses. Wider frames look much better than narrow frames as they break up the length of the face. Square shaped glasses only emphasise the angular features of the face.

Reading Glasses - Function Meets Fashion?

Mention reading glasses and most people think stuffy. Think again! Today's reading glasses are a fashion accessory and top designers are in on the trend. Adventurous, classic, or casual, whatever your style, there are frames to suit you. Look for a stylish frame that suits your face shape. Rounder faces look great in angular or cat-eye styles. Rimless glasses suit heart and triangle-shaped faces. Oval faces can wear almost any frames, providing they equally balance the top and bottom of the face.
