The Sophisticated Geek
A prescription to personalize your style
There
was time when being a geek wasn’t so chic; somehow this theory has changed and the
look is coveted by many. But let’s not
get carried away! Some of us are proud
to be eyeglass wearers; it’s not only our visual lifeline, it’s also an
accessory that completes our everyday look.
Others not like it so much; either way, choosing the right style is
essential. Here are some tips to get you
started in your quest to be an eye wear trendsetter. Because, as they say, “just because it’s in
fashion, doesn’t mean it’s for you.”
FRAMED
The eyeglass frame of your choice
should complement your face shape.
Ensure the fit is right and works for you.
SHAPE
UP
There are five basic face shapes:
square, round, heart, oblong and oval.
Square faces – An angular face with a strong
jaw line and a square chin. TRY:
Oval and round frames and avoid geometric and square frames, as they tend to
accentuate the angles of the face. Famous Face: Keira Knightley
Round faces – The key is to make the face
appear longer. TRY: narrow frames with angular edges or rectangular shapes. Famous
Face: Michelle Williams.
Heart faces –Your face is a bit broader with
a sharp chin. TRY: butterfly shaped
frames with airy, thin rims or rimless frames, which tend to be a bit wider
towards the bottom. Famous Face: Rihanna.
Oblong faces – The key is to create a softer
look, as your face appears to be longer than it is wide. TRY:
Embellished subtle frames, which will help create some width. Avoid frames that are too square as they will
add width to your chin. Famous Face:
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oval faces – You are the envy of all your
friends. With a face that is well
proportioned, your options are endless. TRY:
Walnut shaped frames, but avoid frames that are too narrow or too round. Famous
Face: Halle Berry
Try to choose a frame that
reflects your personality and lifestyle.
This is your opportunity to create your own signature style but look
chic. Don’t be afraid of color; eye frames have come a long way and you now
have a variety of options. So if those
hot pink frames are what you like? Go for it! Does this seem less difficult
than you thought? With these quick tips you’ll
soon be defining your own personal eyes style.
