Recommended frame for your face shape

When you wear the right glasses, your face looks more harmonious and you feel more self-confident. Let's take all the time necessary to find our perfect frame before even buying glasses; to support you in your choice, here are some quick and practical tips for choosing the perfect frame for your face shape:

• round , the ideal frame is the square or rectangular one.
  This model appears to elongate the face making it look slimmer. It's best to avoid round or oval frames that help accentuate the roundness of the face;
  
• oval , you can choose virtually any shape of frame, with a preference for bold shapes, such as butterfly or geometric frames, which enhance the symmetry of the face. Better to avoid frames that are too small or large because they can unbalance the soft lines of this face shape;
  
  
• square , it would be preferable to buy glasses with rounded or oval frames to soften the features of the face by reducing its angularity. No, therefore, to frames that are too square or angular which would help to accentuate the angular shape;
  
  
• by heart, the perfect frame is the oval or rounded one, with a medium width because it creates harmony between the width of the forehead and the chin. Better to avoid glasses with too thin or wide frames, which can unbalance the balance of the face;
  
  
• long : in this case, it is preferable to opt for wide and low frames such as, for example, cat-eye or butterfly frames which can create an optical effect of "enlargement of the face", balancing its natural length. Better to avoid frames that are too thin or too narrow, which accentuate the length of the face.

The colors that best suit these characteristics are those fresh and delicate , such as blue, pale pink, aqua green and purple to create an effect of sweetness and delicate femininity.
