Therefore, the selection of frames must be considered from three aspects: aesthetics, functionality, and wearing comfort.

When choosing frames, we have to combine gender, age, face shape, body shape, occupation, and the use of prescription glasses. The principle of choosing is to unify the practical application and beauty, the former refers to the size of the frame and the height of the nosepiece affecting the position of the lenses and resulting in a different optical correction effect, and the latter is the effect of the aesthetic composition.


Today, we will talk about the relationship between glasses and occasions, hairstyle and make-up.

1.  The Choice Of Glasses For Different Occasions

Wearing different glasses for different occasions is to match with clothes or modeling to suit different occasions. Eyeglasses today do not only play the role of optical correction, but they also need to have a keen sense of fashion and are a kind of decoration. So it is very important to choose a pair of glasses that suit your personality and fits the occasion.

This shift first appeared in fashion-forward Japan. The Japanese viewed buying and replacing glasses as a fashionable spending habit and began to catch on. Some young women may even wear 12 pairs of glasses in a year to match different outfits or to attend different occasions, and even older men, who are extremely insensitive to fashion, will wear several pairs of glasses, respectively in the living room, study, bedroom, car, and in company.

For formal occasions, it is advisable to wear glasses with smaller frames and delicate styles, which are both elegant and competent. People who sit in the office for a long time need to give a calm and sophisticated image, so black, silver, and gold are the most suitable, the frame color is as single as possible, with not too many decorations, and simple and generous is best. These glasses are perfect for attending speeches, formal banquets, and negotiation occasions.

To reduce the stereotypes, you can also choose the neutral style of glasses, in which the combination of plate and metal material glasses is a good choice. In recent years, the fashion industry has been strongly blowing a neutral wind, and managers may wish to start slowly adapting from the glasses, in some less formal occasions, this type of glasses just to show their hands, not only not look too casual but also able to set off the wearer's calm.

If you are in the creative, fashion industry, which hopes to give people a striking appearance, plate or thick-rimmed glasses at this time are most suitable. Some frame-ridden exaggerated glasses will play a very eye-catching effect.

For casual, parties and other occasions, it is appropriate to choose the current popular glasses, both youth and fashion; of course, according to their favorite, choose irregularly shaped lenses of the glasses, in and out of some personalized party occasions.

However, optical glasses are not a simple, everyday accessory. The frequent replacement of frames with the same number of lenses may result in individual differences in the degree of adaptation, which may cause fatigue. Aesthetics is important, but comfort and health should come first.


2. The Relationship Between Glasses And Hairstyle

For women who must wear rimmed glasses, these are a necessary accessory, but can still make women look beautiful, so it’s important not only to look at the usual accessories, face type but also with hair type.

Short hair - young, sporty, fashionable style, a variety of colors can be matched according to your face type.

Medium-length hair - gentle, quiet, rimless, or narrow gold-rimmed frames to highlight the feminine temperament.

Long hair - already very civilized, too ordinary glasses will be more like a pedant, not as masculine. Cooler ones such as thick black-framed glasses and toadstools will be more modern.

Perm - Rotten curls are best suited to frames with patterned points and a wide range of colors to choose from.

Coiffure - A traditional coiffure worn in the summer for coolness would not be suitable for funky colorful glasses. Since the outline of the face is highlighted, glasses with prominent frames are suitable.

Also, hair color and glass color can be chosen according to personality. The safest way for the average office worker is to coordinate with the same color. Such as brown hair suitable for the frame color of light yellow diabolical olive green coffee, etc., purple hair suitable for the frame color of pink, blue, purple, and so on.


3. The Relationship Between Glasses And Make-Up

Some people who wear glasses do not feel good in them. This can be due to other factors such as make-up and clothing choices. Glasses must be regarded as part of the essemble to dress up. For example, when the frames are thick and red, lipstick should be muted for the office; or if the frame color is skin tone and the lipstick or eye shadow color is out of harmony, the effect is naturally not as striking. You just need to pay attention to the color of your eye shadow.

At the same time, if wearing deeper glasses, when you look through the glasses, the eyes tend to look smaller, so use eyeliner and rather than drawing it into a sharp outline, it is better to be a wide swoosh for the right.

For some young women, if they are deeply myopic, life and work are inseparable from the glasses. To select the most suitable frames they may need assistance whenever they purchase. As they can not judge, when the frame has not yet been installed.

As a result, you have to ask someone else to check for you whether they match or not. The key to avoiding failure when selecting glasses is to pay attention to the relationship between glasses and eyebrows. For example, in thick and large frames, if the frame reveals the eyebrows, the frame and eyebrows will be connected, making the face appear extremely thick eyebrows, sometimes even giving people the impression of two eyebrows; but also wearing thick and dark frames and revealing the eyebrows, if the eyebrows are thinner, sometimes also can maintain the balance. Therefore, choosing the frame that matches your eyebrows is the basic condition for purchasing eyeglasses.

I hope you can use glasses to add beauty and fun to your life.
