When you go to buy your spectacles over the web, you need a system to help you quickly and sensibly selct the most suitable pair for you :-

Colour of the frames-

Fair persons should opt for pastel shades, clear or metal frames, and leave the horn-rims and dramatic shades for people with a less pale complexion. Basically, in respect of frame colour, emphasis should be made on eye colour by reverberating it in a deeper shade, or alternatively the frames can match the hair color.

Picking out the shape of the frames according to the shape of the face

If you have an oval shaped face, then think yourself lucky, as you possess what is commonly considered to be a perfectly shaped face! However, that doesn’t mean that you can just go and choose any set of frames that you fancy. You should select frames that are as wider - or even wider - than the widest part of your face.

For those of you with round faces, I would recommend that you select a set of frames with angular or narrow shape to them. This will help to elongate your face and make you look thinner.

Long face shape: The long face is longer than it is broad and has a long straight cheek line and sometimes a longish nose. To make the face appear shorter and more balanced, think about frames that have a top-to-bottom depth, decorative or contrasting temples that add breadth to the face or a low bridge to shorten the nose.

Square face shape: A square face shape has a strong jaw line and a broad forehead, plus the breadth and length are in the same proportions. To make the square face appear longer and soften the angles, seek narrow frame styles, frames that have more breadth than depth and narrow ovals.

If your face is heart shaped or triangular, then go for a set of frames that are narrower at the top. Also, look for pale coloured frames or rimless frames.

Hopefully, these tips have helped you to select the correct set of eyeglasses that will suit your perfectly
