Flattering Frames



Flattering FramesWhether you're looking for your next pair of prescription glasses or cool new shades, to find the most flattering frames don't choose frames that are the same shape as your face. So, square faces should avoid angular frames, and round faces should stay away from circular glasses.

yeah but you should get glasses too you never know when your not feeling like wearing them or get an infection or run out because the last one just tore. So get backup glasses just in case, trust me they'll come in handy sooner or later, I know.

Oi, I know. I did horribly on a test in school because I ran out of contacts the day we were reviewing things on the board and I couldn't see. ALWAYS have a back up pair handy, or you'll have to learn the hard way.

I have a cross between a triangular and heart-shaped face, so what kind of frames would work the best?

for sure on the back up thing!
& alot of people have told me that the color of your frames is also an important factor too.
i guess they were talking about the skin tones.idk, i have purple glasses..so

I think that any type of frame looks good on any shaped face.

i have rectangular glasses (even tho i dont wear them that often) and a square face, and they really suit me, but the circular ones made me look like a fool...you should seriously try on every that you like. Even if you just like it a lil bit because things look so different on your face, than what they look like on the rack.
