With the fantastic variety of designer eyeglasses and sunglasses in Somerville, MA that is available this is a great time to be wearing glasses. There are so many frames available in different shapes, different colors and many different materials.
When you go shopping for designer eyeglasses and sunglasses in Somerville, MA you can almost see yourself as a kid in a candy store, however, there are a few guidelines that will help you find the perfect shape of frames that will suit your lifestyle and compliment the shape of your face. The first thing to do is pull back your hair tightly and determine the shape of your face. There are six face shapes and it is not difficult to determine if your face is heart shaped, square; round, diamond, oblong or oval.
Keep the following tips in mind as you look at the wide selection of designer frames that are available from your favorite optician.
Opposites do attract: Play the shape of your face off against the shape of your frames. If you have very sharp features such as a prominent jaw line, go with rounder or more curvaceous frames. This choice in frames will divert the attention of those looking at you from parts of your face which may be less attractive.
Colors: Eyeglass frames are no different than make-up; the color you select can do wonders for your eyes. For those who have dark eyes, consider brightly colored frames while those who have lighter eyes such as blue or gray, wood tone or tortoise shell is a great choice.
Size: For those who have a very high grade prescription, keep the frame size small so that the lenses do not overly magnify your eyes. Narrow glasses with decorative details will slim down those with a wider face.
Centered: The correct frames will always have your eyes centered in the lenses. This is a matter of fitting so if your nose shape is a little flat, you may want to go for frames that have more height to them; you want to avoid a situation where you always appear as if you are looking over the top of your glasses.
Any good optician will tell you that although the shape of your face is important when choosing your frames, the truth is; whatever frame you like is the right frame.
