Tips for Selecting the Best Glasses Frames to Fit Your Face

Choosing new glasses can be exciting, but with so many styles and shapes available, it can also feel overwhelming. The right frames do more than just improve your vision; they enhance your features, showcase your personality, and keep you comfortable throughout the day. At Village Family Eyecare, we’re here to help you navigate your options and find the perfect pair. Here are our top tips for selecting the best glasses frames to suit your face shape and style.

Determine Your Face Shape

Understanding your face shape is the first step in finding frames that complement your natural features. The main face shapes include:

• Oval: Balanced proportions; most frame shapes work well.
• Round: Softer angles; rectangular or angular frames add definition.
• Square: Strong jawline; round or oval frames soften the look.
• Heart: Wider forehead and narrower chin; bottom-heavy frames or rounded styles balance your features.
• Diamond: High cheekbones and narrow forehead/chin; rimless or oval frames highlight cheekbones.

Choose Frame Styles that Compliment Your Features

Once you know your face shape, try on different frame styles to see which ones highlight your best features. For example, bold, angular frames can add structure to softer faces, while thinner, round frames can bring a softer appearance to strong jawlines.

Consider Frame Size and Proportion

Your frames should fit comfortably and be proportional to your face. Frames that are too wide or too narrow can be uncomfortable and may not provide the best look. Our opticians can help you find frames that fit snugly around your temples and sit correctly on your nose.

Explore Color Options

Color can make a big difference in your overall look. Consider your skin tone, hair color, and wardrobe when selecting frame colors. Classic black, brown, or tortoiseshell frames offer timeless appeal, while brighter hues and patterns add a fun, modern twist.

Think About Your Lifestyle

Are you always on the go? Do you need glasses for work, sports, or special occasions? Your daily routine can influence the best frame material and style for you. Lightweight, durable frames are great for active lifestyles, while stylish designer frames are perfect for making a statement.
