With the increase in demand for glasses, the styles of frames are also varied. Steady black square frames, exaggerated colorful round frames, large shiny gold-edged frames, and all kinds of weird shapes… So, what should we pay attention to when choosing frames?
◀About the Structure of the Glasses▶
A pair of spectacle frames is usually composed of the frame, nose bridge, nose pads, endpieces, and temples, and of course temple tips, screws, hinges, etc.
●Frame: The larger the shape of the frame, the larger the reserved lens area, and the overall weight of the glasses will increase. If the prescription of the glasses is higher, the thickness of the lens will be relatively more obvious.
●Nose pads: General frames are divided into two types: movable nose pads and integral nose pads. Most of the plate frames are integral nose pads, which cannot be adjusted. This is very unfriendly to friends whose nose bridge is not very three-dimensional, and it will slide down when worn. The frame with movable nose pads can achieve the purpose of a comfortable fit by adjusting the nose pads.
●Temples: The length of the temples determines whether your glasses can be hung on the ears, which plays a role in balancing weight. The width of the temples will also affect the overall wearing comfort.
◀About The Type Of Frame▶
01. Full Rim Frame
For users with higher prescriptions, the wearing effect of full-frame glasses may be more obvious, and the edge of the frame is more beautiful. In addition, the shape and material of spectacle frames will be relatively rich and changeable, that is to say, there will be more styles of full-frame glasses than spectacle frames of other frame types, and the room for selection will also increase a lot.
02. Half-rim Frame
Half-rim glasses are mostly simple in shape, stable and generous. Half-rim spectacle frames are mostly made of pure titanium or B titanium, which is light in weight and comfortable to wear. The frame shape of half-rim glasses is generally rectangular or oval, which is the most widely applicable type of glasses frame. Many professional elites like this kind of simple-shaped glasses frame.
03. Rimless Frame
There is no frame front, only a metal nose bridge, and metal temples. The lens is directly connected to the bridge of the nose and temples by screws, and holes are usually drilled on the lens. Frameless frames are lighter and more stylish than ordinary frames, but their general strength is slightly lower than that of full frames. Children are not recommended to wear such frames. The joints of the frameless frame are easy to loosen, the length of the screw is limited, and it is not recommended to use this type of frame if the degree is too high.
◀Contrasting Choices For Different Face Shapes▶
01. Round face: elongated, square, pillow-horn frame
People with round faces have shorter faces and look cute, so angular and square frames are good for modifying the lines of the face and adding liveliness. It can maximize strengths and circumvent weaknesses, making the face look more obvious and more attractive. Note that people with round faces should avoid choosing frames that are too round or too square when choosing frames, and those with great personalities should also choose carefully.
02. Square face: round frame
People with square faces have wider cheeks, shorter faces, and look tough. Choosing a slightly curved frame can make the face look softer and ease the overly wide cheeks. Note that people with square faces should choose glasses with small frames carefully, and square glasses should be avoided as much as possible.
03. Oval face: various forms of frames
The oval face, also known as the oval face, is what the orientals call a standard face. It is more suitable to wear all kinds of frames, just pay attention to the size of the frame should be proportional to the size of the face on it. For an oval face, just pay attention to avoid choosing a narrow straight-line square frame.
◀How to choose the frame that suits you▶
●Look at the frame: Frameless glasses will make people look professional; square half-frame glasses are more suitable for serious people; round frames will increase people’s affinity; full-frame glasses are more versatile. Everyone should look at what occasions they usually wear and then choose the corresponding frame.
●Look at facial features: If you have delicate facial features and look petite and exquisite, you can choose some wider frames, which will increase your mental outlook and make your facial features stand out. On the contrary, if your facial features are relatively three-dimensional and occupy a large proportion of your face, then choose a narrower frame, because choosing a wide frame will make you look less energetic and increase the weight of your head.
●Look at the three courts: Use a ruler to measure the distance between your three courts, which are the distance from the hairline to the center of the eyebrows, from the center of the eyebrows to the tip of the nose, and from the tip of the nose to the chin. Look at the ratio of the atrium to the three courts. If the atrium ratio is long, choose a frame with a high height, and if the atrium ratio is short, you should choose a frame with a short height.
