Although the days of “men don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses” are happily long-gone, the subject of eye wear is still a big one. This is especially among those who need to wear glasses to good vision, but who still want to look stylish doing so. In this article, we’re going to discuss how to select the most flattering Prescription sunglasses in Chicago for your particular face and lifestyle.
So, how do we do this? The first thing we need to do is determine the shape of your face. Is it long, oval, round or square? You might also have a diamond or heart-shaped face. A good look in the mirror is usually enough to tell you which you have. You can also ask others to give you their opinions. If none of these are conclusive, then take a lipstick or dry marker, and draw your face as you stand in front of the mirror. This will give you a basic idea of your face shape.
With this knowledge in hand, you can now start looking for a pair of eyeglasses to complement your face. While there are more face shapes than we discuss here, this should give you an idea of how to approach your hunt for the perfect shape eyeglasses. For instance, if you have a square face, you’ve got a strong jaw and usually a broad forehead. You need to soften those angular lines…so stay away from square frames and choose curved frames, such as round, oval and/or aviator styles.
The nice thing about having an oval face is that your face is nicely balanced -; and can thus wear a wide variety of frames. You want to keep that lovely, balanced proportion -; so choose frames that are approximately as wide as the widest part of your face. You should also avoid frames that are disproportionately large.
Many people have round faces -; and if that’s the case with you -; then you’ve got a rounded chin and full cheeks. You’ll need to “square off” those round cheeks by adopting square or angular frames. They’ll make your face appear thinner and longer by contrast.
