1. Choose Your Frames
Purchasing starts with choosing your frames. This is usually the most time-consuming part of the process, as it involves the most personal choice. If you already have a frame in mind, you can type it in the search bar and find the color you want. If you don't have a frame in mind, choosing your frames is a little easier when you keep the following things in mind:
Frame Shape
You are likely well aware of the most and least flattering clothing styles on your body. You can say the same thing about eyewear. Certain frame shapes will compliment your features, while others may emphasize the wrong attributes. The good news is you can usually predict the best frames for your face using your face shape.
Frame Size
A too-narrow frame will tend to make your face look wider, while a too-wide frame will make your face look narrower. While you may choose an over- or under-sized set of frames for stylistic reasons, it is generally best to find a pair of frames that fits you well. To this end, you will want properly sized frames. If you have an old pair of glasses, this will be fairly easy, all frames come with measurements one the temple arm.
