How to Pick the Right Glasses for Your Face Shape

Different by styles, colors, shapes, if you pick the right ones, they may suit you in every mood or look, as much as possible.

In order to find out what glasses look best on you, you need to know what face shape you have. Keep in mind that not everyone fits into just one face shape. As a general rule, it is said that you should pick a pair of glasses that contrast against the shape of your face. But, on the other hand, coloring should compliment your skin tones.

Glasses for Oblong Face Shape

An oblong face is longer than it is wide. The cheek line and the sides of your face are straight. Your forehead is tall and wide and it might be round at your hairline.

The wider glasses, also known as aviator frames, are definitely for this shape. Since they are wide, they will make long face appear shorter.

You can try frames that have more depth than width.
