Eyeglasses are one part of your appearance, of your characteristically. They don’t just serve to enhance your overall look, but also expresses your personality. So, eyewear needs to be chosen carefully.
You should always keep following questions in mind.
1 What is your personal style—modern, retro, or traditional?
2 What glasses features do you prefer?
3 What impression do you want your glasses to give.
4 Are the glasses you wear go with your wardrobe?
You can do some research before you go shopping. Some optical stores stock standard, run-of-the-mill frames. They might be fine if you’re looking for something utilitarian, but you are after the latest, coolest frames! Check out local optical stores’ websites to get an idea of what kinds of brands they carry, which will give you a sense of how current their stock is. Ask friends who have cool prescription glasses where they bought them.
Then, you can ask your friends for advice. Now that you’ve decided on a few stores to check out, bring along someone whose opinion you really trust. Your friends may give an honest opinion. This way, when you’ve narrowed it down to two or three frames, your friend can help you make the final decision.
Try on a variety of glasses as possible as you can. You will not know which frames look the best without trying them. What looks great on the display may be unflattering to your face shape, skin tone, hair color or personal style.
Pick an eyeglasses which ‘look’ you are going for: sleek frames, nerdy frames, retro frames, etc. Do you want glasses that make a real statement with color or have eye-catching details? Or do you want very minimal frames that almost disappear? But DON’T limit yourself. Try on as many different kinds of frames as possible. You might be surprised at how great a particular pair looks, even if it wasn’t what you initially had in mind.
Follow these guidelines, you will pick out the ideal eyeglasses to suit your personal tastes.
