Apart from improving your vision, a pair of eyeglasses can also improve your looks. Therefore, selecting the right kind of eye frame - one that suits your face, your personality and your lifestyle - is very important.

The first thing you need to keep in mind while choosing eyeglasses is the shape of your face.

1. As a general rule, avoid wearing frames that have shapes similar to your face. In other words, don`t go for a round frame, if you have a round face, or a square frame, if you have a square face. Make sure that your frame isn`t wider than the widest part of your face. Go for a small frame, if you have a small head and select large frame, if you have a large head.
2. If you have a long, thin face, you should go for a large frame in round or rectangular shape. This will make your face appear wider and shorter.
3. If you have a square face, you should go for a round frame. This will soften the angular look of your face.
4. If you have a round face, a rectangular frame will complement it perfectly.
5. If you have a heart-shaped face (a wide forehead and a small chin), you should go for a frame that is wider at the bottom in comparison to the top.
6. If you have a diamond-shaped face (narrow forehead, wide temples and an angular chin), you should go for a small, oval frame. This will minimize the horizontal distance between your temples.
7. Finally, if you have an oval face, you can go for any type of frame, as your face is perfectly balanced at the top and bottom!

Now comes the turn of your personality and lifestyle. While choosing a frame for your eyeglasses, you need to take into consideration the kind of work you do, the kind of activities you participate in and the kind of impression that you want to create on others. Here are a few suggestions:

1. If you are a serious, conservative businessperson, and you want to project the same look, you should go for usual, uncomplicated shapes, such as ovals and rectangles. In terms of material, we recommend thin plastics, titanium and stainless steel. Men should go for colors such as silver, brown and black. Brown, golden, burgundy and coffee are the recommended colors for women.
2. If you are a student, or are in a profession that demands you to look fashionable and trendy, you can experiment with shapes and color (of course, within certain limitations). For example, you can go for the unusual, large-sized frames in thick plastic (that are so much in vogue today), combining them with a color such as blue, green or purple. You can also go for interesting details such as color laminations that are readily available in a variety of prices and brands.
3. If you are a senior citizen, you can opt for a frame that makes you look younger. We recommend bold, rectangular eye frames for men and soft, cat-eye frames for women. To take years off your age, go for colors such as burgundy and dark brown and avoid colors such as black and silver.
4. If you are a student, or an office worker, you can go for an oval or a rectangular frame in a color such as plum, deep red or soft green and black. This will give you a basic, yet stylish look.
