To choose the right accessory, you should take into account your face shape, and know some rules.
What is your style?
Try to describe your own style in a word: elegant, casual or sporty ... Do you most often wear a business (official) suit or prefer an urban casual style, where you can freely wear shorts, a colored T-shirt and leather studded accessories?
The frame of glasses directly depends on the style and dress code of clothes . It is better to choose a universal model, because the accessory should be combined both with a business formal suit, at a concert, and at a party and other events (stadium, meeting with friends, etc.).
The trend is a variety of shades of frames: overflows, prints and bright blue, red and neon tones. But for daily wear, it is better to purchase traditional black, brown, silver or golden shades.
Basic rules for selecting glasses for men
- Glasses should carefully hide any imperfections, for example, wide cheekbones, a long nose, a sharp chin, a heavy jaw, etc.
- It is imperative to choose glasses that are not only beautiful, stylish, but also comfortable, because eye health will depend on this.
- Wrongly shaped glasses will reduce the attractiveness of men.
- The selected frame of glasses should not repeat the shape of the face.
- If your eyes are set wide, then they will be successfully reduced by a wide or bright bridge (a jumper on the nose). And reduce the distance will help a thin light bridge.
Important! Small deviations are possible with the width of the rim (narrower or slightly wider than the face), but with a large difference, especially with a small face, they can sharply worsen the appearance of a man.
How to determine the shape of the face?
After choosing a style, you should decide on the shape of the face.
Visual way
The most elementary way is to go to the mirror, then pull the hair back (if the fringe covers the forehead), and draw lipstick around the contours of the face.
Mathematical
Carefully research your image, although there is also a mathematical method where you should calculate the ratio of the width and height of the face, etc.
Advice! Even with knowledge of their face shape, fitting glasses is mandatory. The same glasses will look different on men with the same face shape.
Many factors are important: style, face types, hairstyle, hair color, eyes and skin tone.
Selection of glasses for all face shapes
Let us dwell on each form.
Oval face
The most proportioned face with softly curved chin lines. The right smooth lines are ideal, but rarely found.
Here you can choose almost any frame: wifarera, aviators or round. But narrow models are not recommended.
Advice! If the man’s features are soft, then pick up a rounded frame, and with sharp - and the frame is strict and clear.
Round
For holders of a wide forehead, full cheeks and a round chin, narrow frames, square or wifarera are perfect. For a full face, you can choose the right shape of the frame, changing the whole image.
Important! It is absolutely impossible to wear the same uniforms, for example, with a round face, similar glasses.
Square
Men have a pronounced square chin, as well as a very wide forehead of a similar shape.
Frames recommend: round, narrow semicircular, aviators and wifarers. Please note that the frame should be with a massive top and a round bottom necessarily wider than the "corners" on the face in order to soften the shape.
Rectangular and square are not suitable (repeat the type of face).
Triangular
If you have wide cheekbones, but your forehead is narrow, then it is better to pick up the original steampunk glasses. They are almost round, but with an elongated upper arc.
Medium frames look good, which will be vertically stretched, but with rounded shapes. The temples can be bright or contrasting to distract attention.
Rhomboid
In this form, narrow forehead and chin with wide cheekbones.
Stylists recommend glasses: aviators ("droplets") and rectangular rounded shapes.
But square models do not fit.
Rectangular
An elongated face with wide cheekbones and a forehead, softened by the help of soft rounded shapes of frames.
Heart-shaped face (inverted triangle)
In this type, a wide forehead and cheekbones, but a narrow chin.
Men with this shape should choose narrow rectangular and round frames, as well as “aviators”.
Avoid heavy and massive frames.
Why do you need glasses?
It is important to consider the lifestyle to purchase the appropriate type of lens. Are you in the office or outdoors most of the time? Then you should protect your eyes from UV rays.
If glare on glasses is disturbing, then polarized lenses are ideal for this. This must be decided before purchasing accessories.
In the trend, mirrored sunglasses of various kinds.
Knowing all the nuances of choosing glasses, your form, style and wishes, you can safely try on several types of models to choose the most suitable. By type of face, it is easier to choose the most successful solutions.
A well-chosen frame can transform any man, give him a style, and improve external data. Glasses are not just a necessity, but can become a spectacular decoration.
