Six Top Tips to looking Stunning In Your Eyewear

TIP 4

Frame Size!

As much as we may be persuaded otherwise, when it comes to eyewear- size really does matter!

Width

The ideal frame should be as wide as the widest part of your face, below the brow line for optimum balance.

If frames are too narrow…

The frames will appear to add weight to your face. It’s similar to a clothing faux pas – if you want to look slimmer -stay away from those trousers that are a size to small!

Here’s an example of Sam in frames that are slightly too narrow in width. This creates the appearance of adding more weight to his cheek area.

Here’s Sam in slightly wider frames, which are as wide as the widest part of his face. This makes his face appear more chiselled and slimmer!

If frames are too wide, the pupils will appear decentered creating a cross-eyed appearance as you can see in the image of Sam below.

Depth

We also need to consider the depth of the frame. A good rule to remember here is a longer face (obviously longer than wide) will look more in balance with a deeper frame and a shorter face (more equal in length to width) with a shallower frame!
