Fashion has become one of the first things people notice about each other today. With everything surrounding social media likes, numbers, and algorithms, it may seem tedious to some to keep up with every single fashion fad that comes and goes.
One way to make styling any outfit easier is by adding accessories. Trendy accessories hold the capability of elevating a basic outfit to something that is runway ready. Eyewear is probably the simplest accessory to add to your look that can truly transform your look. Here are some things you may want to learn about styling eyewear before you make a purchase.
Glasses as a fashion accessory
Glasses are not just a necessity you have to deal with if you have been prescribed them. The right eyewear can elevate your style quotient exponentially. You can find the perfect eyewear to style anything from casual outfits to more formal looks at your local eyewear store or even online easily.
It is essential to note that glasses are available in various design choices that you can sort through to find a pair of glasses that suits you the best. All the factors that can affect the way a particular eye-wear design will look on you are discussed in further detail below.
What makes a good eyewear look?
There are a multitude of factors that completely change the way any particular trendy glasses will look accessorized on you. However, if you understand the nuances of these details, you may be able to easily choose the perfect eyewear shape for yourself. Some of these factors are discussed as under:
- Design of the eyewear: The design and structure come first when choosing the perfect eyewear to style your look. Instead of choosing designs that are drooping towards the ground that makes the structure of your face look droopy and downcast, choose a frame design that is structured in upward lines to give your face a fresh and uplifted look. Moreover, it is generally advised to avoid thick lenses in your eyewear that give a very unflattering look.
- Color of the frames: Another important factor to take into consideration before purchasing your eyewear is the color of the frames. It is generally advised to keep the lens of the eyewear translucent. You can pair the same with a frame that is neutral for a simple and modern look. This is not to take away from the boldness that can be achieved from colored frames.
- Eyewear shape in contrast to face shape: Perhaps the most important factor to influence the way your eyewear may look on you is the shape of the design. Various shapes are suitable for different face shapes. Some may look better than others. Below are some trendy examples you can browse according to the face shape that may suit you the best.
Thick rimmed vintage round glasses
Round glasses are a classic. Paired with a thicker frame and you have vintage-looking glasses that bring fullness to sharp face shapes. A thick frame brings chunkiness to the design of the glasses without making them look too bulky or droopy. These glasses are perfect for those that have a rectangular or a diamond face shape and can easily elevate any look they are added to.
Thin rimmed square glasses
If round glasses bring fullness to the face, the thin-rimmed square glasses do the exact opposite. They are perfect for a sleek and modern look and suit well on round faces. The contrast in the structure of the glasses and the round face shape complement each other perfectly.
Classy oval glasses
If you want to go with something a bit more timeless and classy, you may want to go for simple oval glasses. These glasses are simple and have a timeless feel to them, yet trendy in recent fashion magazines. Moreover, they are a perfect fit for almost all face shapes, except for a round face.
To conclude, we know that proper accessorizing is a great way to improve any outfit. Everything from simple jewelry and handbag to eyewear serves as an added layer to your outfit. However, we must remain conscious of balancing each of these accessory elements properly. More than anything, any guide or fashion magazine can teach you that the way you carry your outfit matters much more than the latest trends.
Just wear what you wear with confidence and elegance, and you will look good in almost anything.
