As we look forward to the coming summer months, appropriate eyewear is a must. To keep your eyes stylin’ and, most importantly, to help improve your visions, do not just settle for just any pair.

Before you get overwhelmed by the zillion options out there, take into consideration one important element: your face shape. Finding the perfect pair of glasses for your face shape is all about balancing proportions. Here are how to identify your face shape group, which frames to choose and which to avoid.

1. Round face

Round-faced people should look out for angular frames. These will make your face appear less round by adding structure. Usually, these frames are wider than the face, which in turn adds more of a balance to the circular features. Such glasses will enhance your face and even make it appear longer and slimmer. If you're going angular then make a statement, as bigger frames work better for round faces.

2. Square face

The sharp angles of your face might be your insecurities and you do not want to highlight them. The key to picking frames for a square shaped face is to soften the angular features. This can be achieved by selecting rounder styles, or frames with curved corners. Look out for styles with thinner metal frames, as these will soften your features and look less heavy than darker acetate frames.

3. Oval face

This group is considered lucky because most frames look great on oval shapes faces, as they have both gently rounded and defined elements. Aviator lenses look great on an oval face, but bold shapes are best. Cat-eye shaped glasses are perfect for women with an oval face. This vintage-inspired frame tends to highlight a person’s eyes and give the face an instant lift. You can also opt for geometric shaped eyewear frames that have a strong bridge. Squares and rectangles best complement and highlight an oval shaped face.

4. Heart-shaped face

If your chin is pointed and your forehead is the widest part of your face, you have a heart-shaped face.When picking frames,your aim is to broaden the appearance of the chin and proportion throughout the face. Look out for frames that are lighter in colour, delicate metal rimmed styles or even clear plastic glasses. Frames that have broader bottom halves - or some form of design interest towards the bottom of the frame - will add balance to the lower section of your face. Round or slightly curved edged glasses will draw the eyes away from a high forehead.

5. Diamond-shaped face

Your face is longer than it is wide, with wider cheekbones and a narrower chin and forehead? It means you have diamond-shaped face. Use frames with soft, smooth lines like round or oval glasses to bring out dimensions to your face. But to balance your face, make sure that the frames aren’t wider than your cheekbones.

Consider styles with extra detail at the top of the frame like a contrasting color or decorative cat eye.

Remember, these are merely suggestions. When it comes to personal style, whatever you feel the best in is best. With so many affordable eyeglass providers, it’s now possible to pick up two or three different styles of glasses to perfectly match your mood, makeup, or event.

Owning multiple pairs of eyeglasses is great because one can alternate their look depending on how they feel or the situation they may be encountering.
