Basic Tips to Match Eye-glasses to Your Face

Glasses are an often overlooked accessory that people should learn to pay more attention to. After all, unless you frequently wear contacts, or are lucky enough to have perfect vision, chances are you will be wearing glasses every day of your life. Therefore unless you can afford multiple pairs of glasses for different occasions and to match different outfits, it's important to give your choice in glasses the time and thought this decision deserves.

Change can be Good
Just because you've been wearing the same pair or style of glasses for many years does not mean that you shouldn't consider changing things up a bit. If you've gotten used to wear half frames for instance, try on a pair of full frames just to see how they look. You might be surprised.

If you absolutely hate the way a new style of glasses looks on your face at first, then give yourself a few minutes to adjust. You have after all been looking at yourself in the mirror every day with the same pair of glasses for many years; it's natural that a different style of glasses will seem visually awkward. If after a few minutes you still don't like the way the new style of glasses looks by all means go back to your old style. Also ask your optometrist about his/her opinion. They fit glasses for a living and chances are that they may have some very valuable pointers.

Dress Appropriately
When you go to pick out a new pair of glasses, you should be dressing in the style of clothing that you most typically wear. If you wear a suit and tie to work every day you should wear a suit and tie to the optometrist to make sure that your new glasses will look good with the clothes you most commonly wear. Don't show up in jeans and a T-shirt and expect the glasses you matched to your T-shirt to look fantastic with your sharp Ralph Lauren suit.

Basic Eye-Glass Matching Principles
Finding a pair of eyeglasses that compliment your face is actually quite simple. According to the Vision Council there are three main principles that need to be followed. First of all the frame should compliment other colors on your face such as eye and hair color, or your complexion. Second, the frame shape should actually be in contrast to your face shape. If your face is round then you should be wearing more square shaped glasses for example. Finally, make sure that the frame size matches your face properly.
