Choosing eyeglass frames can be tricky, especially if you’re trying to look your very best in them while also making sure they’re functional, durable, and properly protected. If you have the right information, though, you can make an informed decision that will lead to being more attractive than ever before with the right pair of glasses on your face. 

That’s why we put together this guide on how to pick out the right eyeglasses frames according to your face shape. The process doesn’t need to be difficult – just follow these simple steps!

How to Choose the Best Frame Material

One of the most important decisions when choosing eyeglasses frames is what material they are made from. There are many different materials on the market, and each one has a different set of pros and cons. It can be difficult to know which one is best for you, but we’re here to help! Below are some of our favorite materials for eyewear frames:

– Plastic: This type of frame is usually lightweight and more affordable than other materials. It’s also easier to keep clean because it doesn’t absorb oils as easily as other materials do. However, they’re not great at preventing glare so they may not be best if you work in an office with lots of windows or lights.

Finding The Most Flattering Lens Style For Your Face Shape

Most people are not aware of their face shape, let alone how to find a frame that compliments it. This guide will walk you through each face shape and teach you how to identify it in order to find your most flattering eyewear. There are six main shapes: oval, round, square, heart-shaped, diamond-shaped and oblong. 

Oval faces have a long, narrow shape. Round faces have equal width and height. Square faces are defined by an even width across the forehead and jawline with proportional height/length. Heart-shaped faces resemble more of an upside down triangle or rectangle. 

Diamond-shaped faces have broader cheekbones than other face shapes but thinner temples (brows). Oblong faces appear longer than they are wide with a high forehead and short chin line

Reviewing the 5 Most Popular Sunglasses Shapes

The most popular shapes are wayfarer, aviator, round, cat-eye and clubmaster. You can find these styles in a variety of colors and textures. Round frames can make your face look wider or more oval depending on how you wear them. 

Aviators are great for people who have a long nose because they don’t cut across the brows as much as other shapes do. Clubmasters work well for those who want a less trendy frame that looks like it’s from the past. These sunglasses were designed to help keep out sunlight so they’re good for outdoor use. 

They also come with polarized lenses which reduce glare and filter UV light so it doesn’t hurt your eyes. Wayfarers are one of the most iconic silhouettes ever made!

Knowing Your Eye Size and Interpupillary Distance (PD)

Eye size and interpupillary distance (PD) are two factors that determine which frames work best for your face shape. To measure your eye size, get yourself a ruler and then place it on your eyeball. Measure the distance between the top of your iris and the bottom of your eyelid. This measurement is referred to as eye height. 

If you have an average-sized eye, then this will be somewhere between 55 and 60 millimeters. Interpupillary distance is a measurement of space between each person’s pupils. To measure this, use a ruler or string and measure across someone’s eyes from one pupil to another.

Tips To Choose The Best Frame Shape For Round, Oval, Heart and Square Faces

-Round faces: Choose frames that are more angular and contoured like cat eye, and squared-off browline. Avoid rounder shapes like aviators. 

-Oval faces: Choose a frame that’s slightly wider than your face. Avoid anything that is too square or too round. 

-Heart shaped faces: Choose frames that are more oval in shape as opposed to linear and rectangular so they don’t emphasize the width of your cheeks and jawline. 

-Square faces: Choose a frame shape that is more oval or circular in order to soften your facial features, avoid anything with sharp corners such as aviators or round glasses. Avoid anything that is too wide for your face because it will only emphasize how wide you are. If you do want something very wide, try looking for frames that flare out at the temples instead of frames that taper in at an angle from temple to ear.
