Finding the right pair of glasses can be a challenge, but with the right guidance, you can easily find the perfect frame for your face. At L'Optik Farhat, we have a wide selection of glasses designed to flatter all face types. Whether you're looking for trendy sunglasses or stylish frames for your vision, we've got you covered.
Understanding Your Face Shape
The first step in choosing the right glasses is to determine your face shape. This will help you identify the styles that will best flatter you. Here are the main face shapes and tips for choosing the right glasses for them:
Round face
If your face is rounded with full cheeks and a similarly sized forehead and chin, you have a round face. To balance this shape, opt for angular frames like square or rectangular. Avoid round or oval shapes that can accentuate the roundness of your face.
Oval face
The oval face shape is considered the ideal shape because it is well-balanced. Your forehead is slightly wider than your chin and your cheeks are rather flat. Most styles of glasses will fit you, but avoid frames that are too wide that could unbalance your features.
Square face
If your forehead, cheeks, and chin are about the same width, you have a square face. To soften this angular shape, choose rounded or oval glasses. Thin, delicate frames will also be flattering.
Heart Face
With a forehead that is wider than your chin, you have a heart-shaped face. To balance this shape, opt for frames that widen towards the bottom, such as butterfly or cat-eye frames. Avoid glasses that are too wide, which could accentuate the width of your forehead.
Long face
If your face is longer than it is wide, you have a long face. To highlight it, choose wide and horizontal frames that will balance the length of your face. Square or rectangular shapes will suit you wonderfully.
Choosing the right size of glasses
Once you've identified your face shape, you can focus on the size of the glasses. Frames that are too wide or too narrow can unbalance your features.
To find the right size, measure the distance between your temples (the width of your face) and compare it to the width of the arms of the glasses. Ideally, the arms should be slightly wider than your face for a perfect fit.
The height of the glasses is also important. They should cover about half the height of your face to be well proportioned.
Playing with shapes and colors
Now that you know your face shape and the right size of glasses for you, you can have fun with styles and colors. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and try new trends!
Geometric shapes like squares or butterflies will add character to a round face. Thin and delicate frames will be flattering for a square face. And bright colors or original patterns will give pep to an oval face.
