Gone are the days when glasses were worn by people just to fix their bad sights. Nowadays, glasses have become a fashion statement, thus, can be seen worn by people who may not even need them. Moreover, the wide variety of prescription safety glasses have allowed people to make them a part of their outfits.

With glasses gradually becoming a fashion trend, how do you find a frame that is right for you? Don’t worry, we are here to help you with that. Below we have made a list of things that determine which frames are right for you.

Prescription or nonprescription?

The very first thing that you need to decide before finding your right frame is whether you want prescription glasses or nonprescription ones. Consequently, what you need to do is get your eyes checked up by your nearest eye doctor. Even if you are looking to buy glasses, you will need to make this decision for yourself.

Face shape

Your face shape determines which frames will be a perfect match for you. In a way, glasses are an accessory, aside from being a necessity. Since you will be wearing them every day or on occasion, you would want something that would flatter you rather than look a bit odd.

For finding frames that will complement your natural beauty, you will need to consider your face shape. There are several types of face shapes such as a round face, diamond face, square face, heart-shaped face, and an oval face. A formula that works for all faces is going the opposite way. For instance, if you have a round face, go for square or geometrical glasses. If you have a square face, go for round glasses.

Skin color

Once you have found the shape of your frames, you will need to decide on a color for the same. A go-to choice for many people is black frames, but they are a thing of the past now. Due to the introduction of colorful frames, people are now paying attention to the colors of their frames. If you do not want to make a basic choice, evaluate what goes well with your skin tone.

You may have an idea about the colors that suit you better than others and those which don’t. However, if you don’t, that’s okay too. Simply go to Pinterest and search for inspiration. Look for colorful glasses on people of your skin tone. You can also seek inspiration from celebrities who are the same shade as you.

Purpose

As we mentioned above, not all people require glasses for their bad eyesight. Thus, the purpose of your glasses plays a  major role in determining the right frame for you. For instance, if you want glasses for your everyday use, you will want to invest in something strong and sturdy. However, if you are shopping for casual glasses, you would not want to spend a lot.

Similarly, you should not spend a lot on spare glasses as you will not be using them a lot. If you are only buying glasses as an accessory, shop from small businesses and local markets to not spend a hefty amount on them.

Durability

Once you have found the perfect frames that fit your skin tone, your face shape, your purpose, you should check how durable they are. A good pair of glasses is not only the one that looks the best, rather a pair that stays the longest. The truth is most of us are careless with our glasses which makes it crucial to buy durable glasses.

So, make sure your glasses are not fragile or breakable. You should also ensure that they are not too loose. Your glasses should be sturdy as well as flexible. Always remember to look for quality frames. Although you will have to pay a little more for them, it will be worth it.

Aside from all these points, set a budget before you go shopping. Although glasses are not expensive, they can be from time to time especially if you are easily swayed by new designs and branded products. So, setting a budget is always a good thing.

That was all! Now you know what all you should consider finding the right glasses for you.
