A couple tries on glasses at an optical shop

You have your new prescription and it’s time to get new glasses. But getting glasses that look good on you doesn’t have to be difficult. Today’s blog will help you pick frames that look good on you.

What shape is your face?

Is your face oval? More of a triangle? Square? Oblong? Round? The shape of your face will help you determine the shape of the glasses you should get. For example, if your face is oval, you’ll want to look for frames that are as wide as the broadest part of your face. Someone with a round face, on the other hand, would want narrower glasses or those with a clear bridge, which would help lengthen the face.

Do you have cool or warm body tones?

Someone with a cool complexion has skin with blue or pink undertones, which someone with a warm complexion has a more yellow tone. People with strawberry blonde, white, and auburn hair have cool hair tones, while those with golden blond and darker brown hair have warmer tones. Eye tones can range from cool to warm, regardless or the color.

If you have warm color tones, gold, copper, orange, and red will be good frame colors for you. If you have cool tones, something like black or silver is best.
