Eye glass frames can totally change your look. For many people, they are an absolute necessity for everyday life. They are also an accessory that should accentuate your outfit and complete your overall look. With so many options on the market today, it can be hard to choose which styles will bring out your best features. Here are some hints for choosing the perfect style for Glasses Frames in New York City.
To begin, define your face shape. Faces usually fall into four categories, round, heart shaped, boxed, or oval. Round faces have full cheeks and are as wide as they are long. Heart shaped faces are wider at the top and feature a thinner chin. Boxed shaped faces are similar to round in that they are equal in length and width, however they feature strong jaw lines and more prominent cheekbones. Oval faces are usually symmetrical and are as wide at the chin as they are the forehead. Oval faces can generally pull off any style of glasses frames, so we’re going to focus on the other three.
1. For a round face, choose a dark color. A linear frame that helps take the place of the missing bone structure caused by full cheeks will help accentuate your face shape. A rectangular, geometric shape can help the face look longer and slimmer.
2. Heart shaped faces will benefit from rimless frames. Since the bulk of a heart shaped face is in the top area, the rimless frames can help it to appear lighter. Frames that widen slightly at the bottom will also help to minimize the width at the top of the face.
3. Boxed shaped faces require a low profile pair. Hard lines will only emphasize the already rigid jaw line. In addition, choosing a pair that is wider than the face helps to balance out the facial proportions.
Your face shape can help give some guidelines for choosing a frame, but always experiment. Browse the website for a wide assortment of high quality, comfortable Glasses Frames in New York City. Like all accessories, your eyeglass frames should help your style and personality to shine through. Don’t be afraid to mix up styles and options.
