 Glasses
today have become the hottest fashion accessories. They are
available in different styles and frames. Thus choosing the
right frame of glasses is a tough job. We at SeasonsIndia
have brought for you tips that will help you choose the right
frame of glasses.
Pinpoint your need:
First and foremost decide you need one pair ofglasses or more.
That is one pair for work and another pair for evenings and
weekends. Thus after you have pinpointed your need it will
be easy for you to decide what kind of frame you require.
For work you need the simple and conservative style. For evenings
and weekends you need a more bold, ultra-modern and ultra-feminine
style.
Face Shape:
Your face shape plays a key role in
deciding what kind of frame will suit you. Thus choosing the
right frame will not only accentuate your good features but
will also help you in hiding the less-desirable features.
Thus try the following frames for the face shape listed below.
- Round
Face: oval, straight or rectangular frames, slightly larger
than your face.
-
Square Face: oval frames with straight or rounded lines,
in a size more or less equal to your face.
- Triangular
Face: large frames with the top line straight or rounded.
- Oval
Face: any frame is suitable for this face type.
Skin
tone:
Skin tone is also an important in determining
colouring. All complexions fall into one of two colour bases
- blue (cool) or yellow (warm). A cool complexion has blue
or pink undertones, and a warm complexion has a "peaches
and cream" or yellow cast. Thus for cool complexion use
contrasting and dark colours. While for warm complexion use
soft tones.
Eye Colour:
Eye colours are usually a secondary element in determining
the correct frame. Following points will guide you.
-
Blue: grey, blue or tortoise-shell fames.
-
Green: burgundy, violet or green frames.
-
Brown: bronze or horn-rimmed frames.
-
Black: pink, silver or gold frames.
Hair
colour:
If you have black/brown hair then go in for black or navy
frames. Blondes please avoid gold frames and opt for a bronze
one.
Following are the different kinds
of frames available in the market:
- Plastic
Frames: They are available in different styles
and colours. Plastic frames are also available with lamination
using layers of different colored plastics that are laminated
together to create unique colorization.
- Rimless
Frames: Rimless frames look sophisticated and
chic. Rimless glasses with lenses cut in soft shapes and
in soft colours give the perfect feminine look.
- Frames
with Tinted and flash-coated lenses: Tinted
and flash-coated lenses created to match or complement
the frame's colour have celebrity appeal, creating a modern,
trendy look.
Points
to Remember:
- While
choosing a frame for your eyes make sure you have enough
time to consider your options and to select the right
frames.
- If
you are confused take a friend along with you or ask the
in-store consultant.
