Selection of glasses according to face shape for men

face shape mWhen choosing the shape of frames, women strive to improve their appearance, emphasize their advantages, and hide some shortcomings. And for a man it is very important to find and emphasize his own style, status and image. A bright touch to a man's individual image is not an easy task, but if you know the features of the face and the rules, it is doable.

To select the right accessory, you should take into account your face shape and know some rules.

What's your style?

Try to describe your style in one word: elegant, casual or sporty... Do you most often wear a business (formal) suit or do you prefer an urban casual style, where you can freely wear shorts, a colored T-shirt and studded leather accessories?

The frame of glasses directly depends on the style and dress code of clothing. It is better to choose a universal model, because the accessory should be combined with a formal business suit, at a concert, and at a party and other events (stadium, meeting with friends, etc.).

Various shades of frames are trending: iridescence, prints and bright blue, red and neon tones. But for daily wear, it is better to purchase traditional black, brown, silver or golden shades.

Basic rules for selecting glasses for men

men's 24To know which men's glasses to choose, let's first focus on the basic rules that need to be taken into account:

  • Glasses should carefully hide any imperfections, for example, wide cheekbones, long nose, sharp chin, heavy jaw, etc.
  • You definitely need to choose glasses that are not only beautiful, stylish, but also comfortable, because the health of your eyes will depend on this.
  • The wrong shape of glasses will reduce the attractiveness of a man.
  • The chosen frame of glasses should not follow the shape of the face.
  • If you have wide-set eyes, then a wide or bright bridge (jumper on the nose) will successfully reduce them. A thin light bridge will help reduce the distance.

Important! There may be slight deviations with the width of the frame (narrower or slightly wider than the face), but with a large difference, especially with a small face, can dramatically worsen a man’s appearance.

How to determine your face shape?

After choosing a style, you should decide on the shape of your face.

Visual method

The most basic way is to go to the mirror, then pull your hair back (if your bangs cover your forehead), and use lipstick to outline the contours of your face.

Here you can choose almost any frames: wayfarers, aviators or round ones. But narrow models are not recommended.

Advice! If a man’s features are soft, then choose a rounded frame, and if he has sharp features, choose a strict and clear frame.

Round

For those with a wide forehead, full cheeks and a round chin, narrow frames, square or wayfarers, are perfect. For a full face, you can choose the right frame shape, changing the entire look.
