Criteria for choosing a frame. What to rely on?

The growing trend of shaping the appearance with glasses, poses a problematic question for fashionistas, how not to harm themselves and choose the right frame that can actually highlight and emphasize the owner’s external merits.

Our stylist will give professional recommendations to women over the age of 50. They are suitable for both sun protection glasses and vision correction glasses. You will learn ways how, without causing damage to the overall image, to form your own unique authentic style, taking into account the most popular frames trends in the modern market.

First, we will decide how to choose a frame by type of face. In humans, there are five different face shapes. To find out what type you have, carefully examine yourself in the mirror and decide.

If you have:

  • Evenly rounded, with a hollow chin, a wide forehead and puffy cheeks. Choose large frames with square, rectangular, pointed or slightly rounded shapes and wide arms. Glasses such as aviators or “cat's eye” fit your look. They visually align your geometry, directing people's eyes to the temples and stretching facial shapes.
  • An angular face that looks like a square. Owners of such features should pay attention to large oval or round patterns. Such frames visually round the lines, softening the prominent cheekbones, chin and wide forehead. You can also dwell on pentagonal patterns or oversize with a low jumper and frames that extend beyond the angular contours, thereby visually improving your “heavy” proportions.
  • The face shape is oval, so luck smiled at you, it is a balanced, noble type with the correct shapes and proportions. You have the widest possibilities when choosing glasses, frames of any kind, size and color will suit you. Round glasses will create a halo of softness for you, while square and rectangular options, on the contrary, will add rigor.

Be careful, do not take risks, choosing too large a frame that covers half the face. She can steal all your charm by her size.

  • A triangular or pear-shaped face with a sharp, protruding chin and a wide forehead. This type of face should be emphasized favorably with glasses with a weighting top and a lightweight, not expanded bottom. The cat's eye, retro or aviators are perfect for you. You can also try oversized with round lenses. Strongly not recommended square and rectangular frame shapes.
  • The face is elongated with a massive forehead, wide cheekbones and a narrow chin. Keep your eyes on the glasses, which visually form proportional lines, smoothing the cheekbones and weighting your chin. Large frames, like aviators, for example, would be most appropriate. Oversize is also suitable, but it should not protrude beyond the oval of the face. A model like "warfare" can also improve your image.

How to choose a frame material

This is also not an easy question. In the market of women's glasses there is such a variety of geometric shapes, sizes, colors and styles that combining all this abundance, choosing also the material from which the frame is made, is not easy even for a professional. But we will try to do this.

When choosing the base material for glasses, consider its weight, the length of the socks you need and, of course, the appearance - your emotional state, a sense of comfort and safety depend on this.

Consider the options for the material.

Plastic or plastic. This is the best solution for frames. Glasses made of this material are elastic and as light as possible. Translucent plastic with different colors and shades will give your image a special elegance.

In addition to advantages, plastic also has drawbacks: it will not last long for you, easily breaking when pressed hard, and the color can quickly fade in the sun.

Metals and alloys. Frame manufacturers most often use copper alloys, stainless steel, aluminum and titanium. These materials are renowned for their durability, light weight and do not corrode.

Be careful, people who are prone to allergies should carefully study the characteristics of metal frames before making their choice.

Original and natural materials. Wood, bones, leather, velvet, horns - this is an incomplete list of raw materials from which manufacturers create unusual models. In such frames you will feel comfortable and look spectacular, attracting the attention of passers-by.
