Choosing the right glasses frames

While you never really know what will suit you until you try them on, there are two main considerations when finding the right glasses frames to suit you: shape and colour.

1. Is your face more rounded or angular?

The easiest way to choose the right shape frames is to consider your face shape; look to balance this with your frames. If your face is rounded choose squarer, more angled frames to counter the curves. Do you already have stronger, angled features? Soften them with more oval, curved frames.

2. What is your colouring?

As with clothing, a little contrast can work well when choosing colours to suit you. Avoid frames that are too close to your skin tone (unless you want them to blend right in), but be careful not to go too far to the other end of the spectrum; black glasses on very fair skin can look too harsh. As a fair-skinned blonde (bleached but nevertheless, blonde!) with green eyes, tortoiseshell, purple and blue frames work well.
