“Putting on a new pair of glasses or sunglasses is a simple way to completely transform your look- just like a new hairstyle.”

Gone are the days when eyeglasses were considered to be a style spoiler. In contemporary times glasses are an essential status accessory, and a definite ‘MUST HAVE’ for Fashion. The only issue with finding the right glasses for your face lies in identifying the right ‘shape’ of your face.

Most people go to a shop and spend money on a pair of spectacles or sunglasses without even knowing whether they will suit them or not. Branded frames from Georgio Armani, Sophia Loren, Ray ban and Pierre Cardin definitely add more style to your look, and they definitely make it to the top of the charts in your shopping choice for eyewear frames or sunglasses. They sure are ‘Collectibles’ and are an easy way to buy some Designer Chic for Yourself.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s take a deep dive into the world of designer frames and sunglasses that will add the much-needed look to your face.

First and the foremost step involves recognizing the Shape of Your Face, as matching the right frame to the right facial shape will add a natural balance to your facial shape and features.

For this you have to lift your hair from the hairline, and then observe the outline of your face for lines that could be either curved or straight. Look out for features like your jawline or cheekbones. Remember every facial shape has something that is UNIQUE, and NO FACIAL SHAPE IS PERFECT.

Oval Face Shape: Wider cheekbones, fairly rounded forehead and chin, and a slightly longer face forms your oval facial shape.

Any kind of eye frame shape works for this kind of facial shape. Aviators and Cat- Eye are the best suited style for this kind of facial shape.

The best part is you can wear any kind of frame you want to wear but add to it a large platter of intoxicating self- confidence.

Aviators

Round Face Shape: The name says it all. This kind of facial shape has well- rounded facial lines and features. You have a rounded chin with few angles, full cheeks, no cheekbones and similar length and width of the face.

As you have no lines and angles in your face, you need to add some with the right accessory you are wearing.

Cat- Eye frames and Angular and Geometric frames look good on such a face, as they add the required angle to the face.

Heart Face Shape: You have this facial shape, if you have a rounded forehead with a V- shape in the center, same width of the cheekbones and forehead, and a narrow and angled jawline which is smaller than the forehead and cheekbones.

Triangle Face Shape: It is another angular facial shape where your forehead is smaller in size as compared to your jawline and cheeks. You have fuller cheeks, angular jawline, square chin and an elongated face.

You can wear wide frames to balance the width of your jawline or wear a rounded frame to add more softness to your angular features.

Aviators and cat- eye frames which have bolder details at the top are most suited for such facial shapes. As they tend to add on to the width of the upper part of your face to create a natural balance.

These are the most common facial shapes, but there are different combinations of facial features that result in facial shapes like spade shape, rectangle shape, teardrop shape, hexagon shape and many more.

The trick is to balance the most prominent or striking feature of your shape with the right shape of the gear to give you a look that brings a complete harmony among all the facial elements.

While selecting your eye frame shape you should also consider the complete look of your body. People with smaller faces, delicate features, smaller body frames should go for thin wire- framed glasses. On the other hand, people with bigger body frames and bigger facial features should go for bold eye wear frames to make a statement.

In the end it is the confidence you have that makes a fashion statement, so wear what you like and keep changing according to the style you want.

And that gives you your much desired CHIC LOOK!
