Designer Glasses can Look Great as Well as Being Good For Your Eyes

Choosing new glasses, whether they are prescription glasses or sunglasses, can change the way you look. Glasses arent just devices to improve your vision (although thats still their most important function), theyre a reflection of your character and personality.You want to know that your glasses look great on you as well as being comfortable and functional, and for this reason more and more people are choosing to go for designer frames.

There are literally hundreds of designer styles, shapes, materials, colours and sizes available nowadays.It can be a bit overwhleming deciding between so many different styles. With designer glasses, the image you want to project is probably the consideration.For work wear a more sensible and plain style may be more appropriate. If you want to make a statement and go for bright unrestrained glasses there are dozens of recognised designer brands out there, including Prada glasses for example that combine an intrinsic sense of style with the name recognition that is more of a fashion and lifestyle statement. Whichever way you lean, choose designer glasses to suit the shape of your face and not just your outfits or your desired social standing. The same is true when choosing designer sunglasses.

Oval shaped or rounded frames are best suited to a square face. If you have a broad forehead tapering to a small chin and mouth try smaller styles, slender rounded or square with lower set sides. Styles with decoration at the temples or ones which are wider at the top than the bottom will do more to draw attention to your face shape than balance it out. People with a round face and chin can get away with wider styles.Large frames or small round ones will only exaggerate the roundness of your face.

If your face is a basic oval shape with a slightly wider forehead, curved jaw and high cheekbones you’re lucky and can take your pick of any style as most will suit you.Wide frames with a strong upper line will suit faces that are long, with high cheekbones and a deep forehead. A larger, square frame will help balance a long oval face, although you should avoid small square shapes. If you have a relatively narrow forehead and eye line, broadening into the jaw line, then pick bold or adventurous designer styles to add balance, but steer clear of small narrow frames.

With designer sunglasses in particular, remember that, aside from making you look good, the primary role of these items is still to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of UV radiation.If at all possible try the glasses on before buying to be sure of the comfort and style.Lastly never forget that although a designer label is a fashion statement, at the end of the day it’s only your own opinion that matters, as long as you feel comfortable with your choice it’s the right one!
