How to choose the best pair of glasses for your face shape
We like to think of glasses as accessories. A pair of glasses can change up your look as quickly and easily as some eye-catching liner or bold lipstick. There are lots of factors to take into consideration when picking out the perfect frame to you. Different elements like frame shape, color, and style all play a role in finding the right frame for you.
Face shape can help determine which glasses will work best for you. Each individual has a unique face shape and that’s part of what makes the process of picking out glasses fun.
