Finding the Perfect Pair: Choosing Eyeglasses with Confidence
With so many fashionable glasses frames available, it can feel overwhelming to narrow down your options. However, asking yourself key questions can help you easily determine the styles that suit your personal taste and lifestyle.
First, consider your preferences. Do you prefer subtle or bold frames? Classic or modern? Think about the settings where you will wear your new glasses most frequently. Also, take into account your skin tone, hair color, and wardrobe to select colors that complement your overall look. Also, consider your face shape when imagining how different frames will look on you.
Questions to Ask Yourself When Choosing Eyewear
- What’s my taste? Do I prefer a bold or subtle expression? Do I favor modern lines, a retro look or more conservative, classic styles?
- Where do I plan to wear these frames- at work, in the backyard, or for social outings?
- What colors work best with my skin and hair tones?
- What are the primary colors in my wardrobe?
- What’s the shape of my face?
- Do I like my current eyeglasses? If not, then what’s the problem?

How to Judge Fit and Comfort
Research conducted by the eyewear industry indicates that women pay more attention to how eyeglasses appear on their face, while men are more interested in how they feel and fit. Yet even if looks are your primary concern, if your eyeglasses aren’t comfortable – you won’t be pleased for long.
To judge the fit of frames when trying them on:
- Frames should be wide enough for your face and not too snug on sides of your head. The edges of your eyeglasses should extend beyond the sides of your face. This ensures that the temples won’t press in on your head as they rest on your ears.
- The curves at the end of each temple should go past your ear without pushing down on it. If they don’t, then the temples aren’t long enough.
- The built-in nose piece or silicone nose pads should fit comfortably and firmly, without pinching the bridge of your nose. Silicone nose pads can generally be adjusted.
- Your glasses should be able to stay in place when you move your head to and fro. Nod a few times, turn your head right and left, and bend over to touch the floor. Make sure that your glasses don’t slip off.
Is One Pair of Eyeglasses Enough?
Like shoes, it is a good idea to own multiple pairs of glasses suitable for different settings, ensuring that you have an outfit for every occasion. However, if you only need one signature style, choose an expressive and versatile design that showcases your personality. Your glasses should feel amazing while enhancing your best features.
