If you're thinking of changing your appearance by wearing glasses, here's a very useful tip on how to make your glasses more fashionable than you know.
Everyone has their own definition of "style". But for us, it means that you need to find a pair of eyewear that suits your personality and accentuates your facial features. After all, wearing something that makes you look good and feel good is exactly what fashion is all about.
Step 1: Find glasses that match your style
Hipsters
If you find yourself frequenting Coffee Shops, Art Galleries, Thrift Stores, Bars and Underground Music Venues, you may be feeling a bit of a teenager in your heart; you're already fashion forward and have a strong sense of style, but you don't know which eyewear is right for you. We suggest you try round or square glasses as they are not too quirky and suit all styles.
Sports Style
If you go to the gym, bike, run, climb or play sports, you'll need a pair of glasses that can keep up with your active lifestyle. Stability is key, along with durable frames and lenses. Polarized lenses can enhance color contrast, which can be helpful if you want to improve your distance vision. You may want to look into wrap-around lenses, half-rims, and rectangular lenses, as they are best suited for athletes.
Academic Style
You're an intellectual, busy studying or pursuing further academic levels, and you don't have enough time to join in and play your own personal style games. Your style is cool and comfortable, but you need glasses that will never make you look like a nerd. We have a suggestion for you: move away from the basic rectangular half-rimmed glasses and go for a more rounded or square frame as an option to help you become more stylish.
Rock Star
You're fearless, adventurous and want to take center stage. You're perfect for showing off your wild side in the boldest of glasses. Try your modest Aviator frames or your bold, edgy round glasses.
Business Elite
You're a go-getter who can go anywhere in the world, and people will recognize you as the one who has to deal with finance. You're smart, clever and organized. But you need a pair of glasses that will add a touch of personality to your professional attire. If you're not ready, you should try foldable glasses because they're easy to carry around and you can tuck them into your shirt pocket.
Step 2: Finding the right eyewear for your face shape
Now that you've figured out which eyewear shape suits your personal style, it's time to find the perfect pair of glasses for you. Now, it's time to narrow it down a bit more - depending on your face shape and facial features, some glasses will fit you better than others.
If you have high cheekbones or large jawbones, round glasses should work best for you because they add a little more definition to your face. On the other hand, if you have a round face, then square or rectangular shaped glasses will add an extra dimension to your face shape. Below are four of the most common face shapes, along with the recommended glasses for each.
