Finding the perfect pair of glasses isn’t just about vision correction

🪞 Step 1: Identify Your Face Shape

Stand in front of a mirror and trace the outline of your face using a washable marker or your finger. Based on the outline, your face may fall into one of these categories:

1. Round Face

Features: Soft curves, equal width and height, rounded chin.
Best Frames:

• Rectangular or square frames add balance

• Angular frames create contrast
  Avoid: Round frames that mimic your face shape

2. Square Face

Features: Strong jawline, broad forehead, and angular features
Best Frames:

• Round or oval frames to soften the angles

• Thin and lightweight styles
  Avoid: Thick, boxy, or angular frames

3. Oval Face

Features: Balanced proportions, slightly narrower jaw than forehead
Best Frames:

• Almost any shape works

• Try geometric, square, or bold styles
  Avoid: Frames that are too large or too small

4. Heart-Shaped Face

Features: Wide forehead, high cheekbones, narrow chin
Best Frames:

• Cat-eye, rimless, or bottom-heavy frames

• Round styles to balance the upper face
  Avoid: Heavy top frames that draw attention to the forehead

5. Diamond Face

Features: Narrow forehead and chin, wide cheekbones
Best Frames:

• Oval or cat-eye frames to highlight the eyes

• Rimless or semi-rimless styles
  Avoid: Narrow or boxy frames

👓 Step 2: Consider Frame Size & Proportion

• Your frame should align with your pupils and sit comfortably on your nose bridge.

• The temples (arms) shouldn’t pinch or slide.

• Make sure the frame width is similar to your face width for a clean, symmetrical look.

🎨 Step 3: Choose Colors That Match Your Tone

• Warm Skin Tones: Go for golden, brown, honey, beige, or olive tones.

• Cool Skin Tones: Choose black, silver, grey, blue, or jewel tones.

🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️ Step 4: Match with Your Style and Lifestyle

Are you a student, a corporate professional, or a fashion lover? Your glasses should reflect who you are:

• Classic Styles for daily wear

• Trendy or bold frames to make a fashion statement

• Lightweight & flexible frames for active lifestyles

✨ Final Tip:

Try before you buy! If your optical store offers a home try-on or virtual try-on, use it to explore what looks best on you.
