Tips For Picking The Perfect Pair Of Frames

While our team of experts at Ambleside Family Optometry is here to help you choose the perfect pair of frames, we wanted to share a few tips with you in making that decision. You want a pair that best suits you and your lifestyle, and we want that for you. 

Here’s our tips for selecting the right pair of frames: 

 

IDENTIFY YOUR FACE SHAPE 

This is a great place to start when it comes to learning how to select your perfect frames, because it’s important to choose a pair that best suits your face shape. 

 

And for every face shape, there are complimentary frames that can help balance your look. Check out this chart below that we grabbed from foreyes.com to see what we’re talking about.

CHOOSE A COLOUR THAT COMPLIMENTS YOUR SKIN TONE

For example, if you have a cool-coloured skin tone, you might opt for shades of black, grey, and blue. If you have a warmer skin tone, you might select a pair of frames that have a warmer colour such as tan, pink, and red. 

 

A good way to put it is to think of the colour of clothes that you feel the best wearing because that same rule applies to your glasses. And don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through the colour of your frames – a bright, fun pair might be exactly what you feel best in!  

 

MAKE SURE THEY FIT WITH YOUR LIFESTYLE

While many of us wear glasses, each of us spends our days differently. This is why you have to take your lifestyle into consideration when choosing a pair of frames! Whether you need a more durable pair or ones that make a statement, the options are endless and we have styles for every lifestyle here at Ambleside Family Optometry. 

 

SHOWCASE YOUR PERSONALITY 

And last – but certainly not least – you want a pair of frames that shows off your awesome personality AND ones that you feel comfortable in. 

 

But if you want a more professional pair for the office and a more fun, bold pair for the weekends – you can do that too! No matter what style you choose, you want to be able to put on your new pair of frames and feel nothing but confident.
