In the modern world, glasses have long ceased to be just a necessity. That is why when buying should be guided not only by the price and quality of the product, but also by how much a particular model fits the individual characteristics of a person. One of the important selection criteria is the shape of the face. Let's try to figure out how to choose glasses for women, focusing on this parameter.
General selection rules
The selection of glasses should be given close attention, since improper selection can cause unprofitable highlighting of physical defects and defects. Moreover, the correct approach can make defects not so noticeable or completely hide them.
In the selection process, one should be guided by the basic rule - the upper border of the frame should correspond to the line of the eyebrows, and the lower one should rest on the cheeks.
In order to comply with this rule as much as possible, it is necessary not only to proceed from the structural features of the woman’s face, but also to try on many models. Only in this case will it be possible to choose a product that maximally matches the type of face. The fact is that even on similar types of faces, certain models of glasses can look different.
In addition, the following rules must be observed:
- The width of the frame should be selected so as not to protrude much beyond the line of the face.
- Glasses should sit as tightly and evenly as possible, and also not change position when moving the head.
- The frame should sit tight, not moving down to the tip of the nose when turning the head.
Optimum today are considered models made of steel, which are made of steel. Their cost is much higher than plastic options, however, they can boast a longer service life.
In the selection process, you should also pay attention to such details:
- You can not pick up glasses that exactly follow the contours of the face.
- If the glasses sit high on the bridge of the nose, then visually the nose seems larger.
- During the selection, it is necessary to take into account the color of the frame and the color of the hair. Girls with blond hair can not really worry, because accessories in any color scheme are suitable for them. But the red-haired must be limited to juicy shades of purple, light green or blue.
Remember that a stylish accessory never covers your eyebrows. Sometimes the border coincides with the eyebrow line, which gives even more expressiveness.
When choosing glasses, skin tone is also important. In order for the image to be harmonious, it is necessary to be guided by the following principles:
- For dark skin, it is necessary to choose frames made in warm colors. It can be tortoise or copper options.
- For owners of pale skin, it is best to give preference to models in cold tones.
- The frames of purple shades will help revitalize the skin of the elderly.
Taking into account these recommendations, we can hope that the glasses will become not only a means of improving vision, but also a stylish accessory.
Suitable models for different face types
Stylists recommend picking up glasses depending on the type of person. Many types are distinguished, so first you need to study individual characteristics and only then choose the best option.
Triangular
In the case of a triangular shape, the question of how to pick up glasses becomes the most difficult. An elongated face requires close attention due to its narrow and pear-shaped shape.
Stylists distinguish two different types of triangles - one is characterized by softer and more rounded features, and the other is characterized by a large and rough chin. When choosing glasses for a triangular shape of the face, this feature should be taken into account.
The owner of the first type of appearance should distract attention from the top of the head, and the second from the bottom.
Regardless of the shape of the chin, it is forbidden to use large and massive glasses, cat's eyes or sunglasses with pointed edges for the triangular shape of the face.
In most cases, women with similar face shapes prefer aviators, options with round windows and low-set temples.
Square
A distinctive feature of a square face is that the jaw and forehead are equally wide. As a result, the face looks sharp, however, the right choice of glasses will soften the contours and achieve the most attractive effect. For girls who cannot choose the best option for themselves, it is best to take a closer look at glasses with large frames, aviators and an option with an interesting decoration on the upper edge.
Rectangular
This type does not look very attractive, so the main task when selecting accessories is to smooth out the difference between the length and width of the face, which is so noticeable.
Stylists do not advise choosing too rectangular or small options, as they will further emphasize the imperfections of the face. Ideal are aviator glasses or large models that allow you to cover half the face.
Diamond-shaped
The diamond-shaped face is characterized by wide cheekbones, narrowed in the upper and lower parts of the face. Ladies who have the shape of a face in the form of a rhombus will fit round or rectangular glasses. It is best to choose products that do not have sharp lines and soft shapes.
Stylists recommend paying attention to products that add extra width to the lower part of the face.This is especially true for girls who wear bangs on their foreheads.
Cordate
Choosing glasses for girls with a heart-shaped face is extremely difficult, however, one should take into account the fact that such ladies differ in pronounced cheekbones. They protrude a little forward, so the main task in the selection is to visually reduce the face.
In addition, the type of heart is also characterized by a wide forehead, so you can not focus on it. That is why it is recommended to select women's glasses, which will differ in a rounded shape and low rise. Aviator glasses or butterflies will look great.
Trapezoid
For a trapezoidal face, glasses are considered an ideal accessory. The most effective way to correct the shape of the face is the presence of large and bright frames that attract attention to the upper part of the face.
It is best to pick up glasses that differ in the upper edges of the frame. It also allows you to balance the bottom. If corrective glasses are chosen, then frames of the “nerd”, “cat's eye” style, or browlans are suitable for such a type. But for sun protection options, it is best to select weifarers, aviators or grandees. The gradient color of the lenses will also look great.
Asian
The Asian face is characterized by a wide nose bridge, which is why most frames do not sit as they should. That is why most manufacturers produce special frames for this face shape. A distinctive feature of such sunglasses is that the frames are made of cellulose acetate or equipped with special silicone nose pads.
Asian girls are distinguished by a small face, so it is better to refuse large options for glasses from the sun. A perfectly matched accessory reaches only the eyebrow line and in no case closes them. Large models can be chosen only if the girl received a large nose from nature. Then the glasses will help to hide this flaw and make the face more harmonious.
Full and thin
When selecting the optimal points depending on the shape of the face, one should also consider the level of completeness. If a girl is thin and has a thin and elongated face, then this can be corrected with the help of round or triangular glasses. Lenses are best selected large and massive. Cat's Eye will also be a great solution.
If a thin girl has a big nose, then you can fix the situation with accessories with horizontal lines.
Colored frames decorated on the sides will also help visually enlarge the face.
Full ladies need to choose gizmos that visually make them smaller. To achieve this effect, well-fed ladies should abandon glasses with round glasses, models with wide jumpers and low arches.
The same recommendations should be followed in cases if the girl plans to choose sunglasses depending on the shape of the face. If the product is equipped with dark or transparent lenses, it is best to choose options made in the form of a square, trapezoid or rectangle.
For some girls with a full face, fox glasses are great, however, in each case, it is necessary to be guided by individual facial features. The color of the frame also plays a huge role. For a full face, it is better to abandon the bright and colorful options, preferring darker frames. A noble cherry tone will also be a great solution.
Stylists also advise paying attention to the asphalt gray, which will make the lady beautiful and allow you to visually appear smaller.
Large and small
In order to choose the right glasses for a large person, you need to know several fashionable laws that will help you make the right choice. In the process of selecting frames, preference should be given to options that not only fit in size, but also give the girl charm and mystery.For a large face, the frame can not be less than 145 mm. Otherwise, the selected glasses will once again emphasize the large dimensions of the face.
If a large face is characterized by a rectangular shape, then you can safely buy options with a square frame. They not only fit perfectly into any look, but also help visually reduce the face. In addition, thanks to such glasses, the face acquires a business look, and the frame allows you to visually eliminate facial defects and emphasize the merits.
For girls with a small face, glasses are a vital accessory, so the choice must be given maximum attention. In order for the selected glasses to become an integral part of the image, you need:
- Choose a frame that is characterized by high temples;
- Give preference to options with bright patterns in the upper part;
- The contours of the glasses should be clear and precise.
For a small face, the models of “butterfly”, “trapezoid” glasses and models with rectangular lenses are considered an ideal option.
Frames for sight
The selection of frames for glasses that are designed for vision correction should be approached with all responsibility and thoroughness. They will have to be worn much more often than a sweater or shoes, and the wrong option can cause constant discomfort or headaches.
First of all, you need to pay attention to the size of the frame. Usually, all manufacturers indicate the parameters of the frame on the side. Of course, all parameters are averaged, so you should not focus solely on them. Some people may have large noses or narrow eyes, which will force them to deviate from the options recommended by stylists. In each case, it will be necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of each person.
The classic rules for selecting frames indicate that they should not go beyond the face. The only exceptions are some models that were originally created to go beyond the frontiers.
If the size of the frame was not selected correctly, then the eyebrow will either fall into the eyepiece or will partially be covered by the frame. It looks unbalanced. Another point is the temples, which in most cases are parallel to each other. If the frame is small, then the temples will begin to diverge, crush and bring discomfort.
The shape of the frame of corrective glasses should be selected in such a way as to hide the imperfections of the face and emphasize its strengths. When buying glasses for vision correction, the most important thing is to fully feel the frame on yourself. She should not put pressure on her face or bring discomfort. You need to turn your head to the sides and make sure that the glasses do not fall off and sit comfortably. Correction models are usually worn throughout the day, so wearing tight glasses can cause a headache.
In the process of fitting the frames, the fact that after installation the weight of the structure will increase due to optics should also be taken into account. Choosing the best color is the hardest. Of course, if universal options for winter, summer, spring, however, it is best to choose a color scheme individually. For example, a person with fair skin is best to choose warm brown shades and abandon black models that take too much attention to themselves.
The classic and universal colors of frames for sight are black, brown and gray.
Stylists say that cherry shades also go well with any wardrobe. In any case, the theme with flowers is extremely individual. If we take into account trends, then in recent years, models with a vintage fleur are very popular.
Girls try not to choose universal options, preferring oversize models and picking up glasses depending on the individual characteristics of the face. Only in this case, you can become the owner of an accessory that will make the image complete and harmonious.
