 With
the shock of discovering that you need bifocals or that your
eyes have weakened over the past year.
Comes the need to sort through a huge array of eyeglasses frames to
find a shape that works with your hair, the shape of your face and your
personality.
There is completely no doubt, that eyeglasses should complement, but not compete
with your hairstyle; be
sure not to get carried away with a fussy frame if you favor big hair.
The most suitable frame shape is the opposite of your face
shape. Angular-shaped faces look better with rounder frames. Softer, fuller
faces are enhanced with sharper-edged frame shapes.

Here are few guidelines to keep in mind while going in for the choice of
glasses. Check them out-
Balance the Act
The main consideration is balancing the volume and shape of your
eyeglasses with your hairstyles. Identify the strongest elements of
your hairstyle and then choose a frame that matches.
Combine Classics
A classic hairstyle is one, that need minimal styling and is, one
length over all the head, is best suited to frame shapes that have
also stood the test of time. Simple round or square eyeglasses are
good options.
Measure the Extreme
A strong trendy style, demands eyeglasses that can hold their own. For
example, bangs that are little more than a high fringe require
eyeglasses with, strong lines. Ovals squares with triangular edges,
the ones you might have worn as a kid, work wonders.
Pull Back Your Hair
A classic chignon or ponytail at the nape of the neck gives you many
choices for eyeglasses frames. Merely choose a style that suits the
shape of your face.
Repeat the Geometry
Continue
the circular motifs or curly hair in your eyeglasses. Round or oval
frames look beautiful. Square frames on the other hand, are too much
of a contrast. Since, even short curly hair has movement, choose
frames that don't have a lot of detail.
Show Your Face
Large
eyeglasses cover quite a bit of the face. This isn't a problem, as
long as you keep your hair under control. Otherwise people will ask
who's hiding behind those glasses and all that their. One simple step
is, cutting off long bangs. Very small frames are unflattering on
older faces - look for a medium or larger-size frame which will help
camouflage the eye area and its wrinkles and bags.
Tone the frame colour to your hair
Silver, gold, grey, tortoiseshell, etc. Some may like funky colour
combinations - try them on and see how they suit. Opt for one that enhances
skin tone and
hair shade.
The focus should be to keep hairstyles, simple. Complicated curls and
fussy accessories give a cluttered look to the face. A good hairdresser will
take the wearing of glasses into consideration when suggesting a hairstyle.
