How to Match A Face Shape With A Reading Glasses Frame

A few key pointers regarding eyeglass shapes:

* It is recommended to find reading glasses frames that contrast with your face shape.

* The overall frame width should be close to your overall face width.

1. round face shape Round - A face that is round has curved outline with the overall length and width proportions being approximately equal. A pair of glasses that are angular and narrow will lengthen and help to make a round face appear thinner. Rectangular reading glasses usually go very well on round faces.

2. square face shape Square - A face that has similar proportions in the length and width, as well as a strong jawline coupled with a broad forehead usually leads to a square face shape. Look for frames that will soften the facial angles and are wider than they are longer. This will lengthen the face and lead to a narrower appearance. Oval shaped lenses usually go very well with square face shapes.

3. oval face shape Oval - An oval face is longer than it is wide. Using a frame that has vertical height will make the face appear shorter and well balanced. Look for frames that are deep from top to bottom, this covers a portion of the extended cheeks. Look for fun and exciting temples to add extra width to the face as well.

4. heart face shape Heart - A heart shaped face is wider up top and narrows towards the chin. (Both men and women can have heart shaped faces.) Look for frames that are wider at the bottom than at the top. Lighter frames and rimless designs go very well with heart shaped faces.
