What Style of Glasses Are For You?

Experts say that you should change your eyeglasses typically every one to two years. If you’re like the rest of America, that’s probably not happening as often as it should. However, with the advancement of modern technology, and the development of shopping online, prices for optical-wear have decreased tremendously. Therefore, you no longer have a reason to wait past the recommended time period in between updating your eyeglasses.

Getting new glasses can sometimes be quite a stressful event. There are just so many options to choose from. However, while the vast selections may be a bit overwhelming, browsing around different styles can actually be fun – especially when you don’t have a pestering salesman breathing down your neck to make the next sale! There are some technicalities you’ll need when looking for your next pair of glasses frames, like the measurement. These can typically be located on the inside arms of your existing frames, and most optical companies can help you determine your needs accordingly. Once you’ve finished all of the measurements and technicality’s, it’s time to choose a frame! This part is actually quite simple – and fun! The main aspects that break down eyeglasses frames are: color, shape, material, as well as your style needs.

The color of your glasses frames is a pretty important part of your selection-process. You don’t want your frames overpowering – or under-powering your face, or your look. Typically, when you have fairer skin tones, lighter colors are better for you; whereas darker-toned eyes, hair and skin should look into brighter and bolder colors. Colors also are effected depending on the style you’re trying to execute. For instance, if you’re more into the Hipster look, check out bold, fun colors.

Similar to choosing an ideal color palate that works with your face, the shape of the frame is just as important. Those that sport nice oval-shaped faces have the luxury of choosing just about any frame shape. However, unfortunately, not all of us are so lucky. The main thing to remember is to go with a frame that is the opposite of your face shape. therefore if you have a very square jawbone, go with a rounder frame; or if your face is very round itself, check out something a bit more angled. This little trick will have your new glasses complimenting your distinct traits, but not overpowering them!

The material and style of frames that you choose, is usually a very personal choice. Typically, once you’ve chosen a material that works for you, you seldom stray from it. However, there are a few golden rules to keep in mind when searching for the right frame. Whenever looking for a sophisticated and smart look, try looking for simple metal frames. A thin metal full-framed or semi-rimless are oftentimes presented as very professional. You could even go for a barely-there rimless frame and show off your smarts! However, if you’re looking to make a statement, try a bold pair of thick, plastic full frames – much like what is currently popular in the Hipster style.

When you make the step to buy your next pair of eyeglasses frames, hopefully it won’t be as nerve-wrecking as its been in the past. You now have the tools to help yourself pick out exactly what you’ll need! You can even choose to get your next pair online. The greatest part of buying online eyeglasses is that you don’t just have to choose one anymore! Now you can get a pair of work, date-night, dinner with friend – just about any event needed!
