Old-fashioned reading glasses are no longer just a makeshift tool for reading; they have become a facial fashion accessory that defines one’s personal style. Choosing the right style not only instantly enhances one’s appearance and shapes the face, but also provides a comfortable experience throughout the day. With a wide variety of frame shapes to choose from, how can one make the best selection? Please follow our professional guide and step by step find the one that is destined for you.
Step 1: The Face Recognition Type, The Frame Selection Type – Let Your Glasses “Shape” You
The combination of frame style and face shape is the first golden rule in choosing glasses.
Round face: Add angularity
Objective: Lengthen the facial lines and enhance the sense of structure.
Recommended models: Square, rectangular or cat-eye frames. Clear edges can effectively neutralize the roundness of the face and shape a more three-dimensional facial contour. Avoid choosing overly small round frames to prevent the face from appearing even rounder.
Style example: A sleek tortoiseshell rectangular frame can infuse intelligence and professionalism into a round face.
Square face: Softening the hard lines
Objective: To reduce the squareness of the cheekbones and jawline.
Recommended models: Round, oval or slightly curved rectangular frames. The gentle curves can balance the edges of the face and add a friendly touch. Avoid choosing square frames with overly sharp edges.
Style example: A classic retro round gold-rimmed frame can perfectly soften the square face appearance and add a touch of artistry.
Long face / Oval face: Balance the proportions
Objective: Increase the width of the face and shorten the visual length.
Recommended models: Large-sized round, pilot-style or horizontally designed frames. Wider frames can effectively increase the width of the face’s middle section and optimize the overall proportions. Narrow frame styles will elongate the face shape and require careful selection.
Style example: A light retro transparent plastic large round frame can easily create a fashionable and balanced visual effect.
Heart-shaped face / Oval face: Fill the forehead, soften the chin
Objective: Increase the width of the forehead, balance the pointed chin.
Recommended model: Round, oval or slightly detailed cat-eye frames with a wider base. These frame types can fill the visual space near the temples, making the overall shape more harmonious. Avoid choosing inverted triangle-shaped frames that are heavier at the top and lighter at the bottom.
Style example: An elliptical frame with metal details on the temple can delicately accentuate the beauty of a heart-shaped face.
Step 2: Choose the style based on the occasion – One pair of glasses, multiple identities
Your daily life scenarios determine the function and style orientation of the glasses.
Daily Commuting and Business: Simple Style, Professional and Elegant
Key Elements: Sophisticated, Low-key, and Textured. Opt for classic models with smooth lines and stable colors (such as black, tortoiseshell, and gunmetal). Examples include Wellington frames, elegant oval frames, or thin metal-rimmed round frames. In terms of materials, lightweight titanium alloys or high-quality sheets can be preferred to showcase professional taste.
Home Reading and Leisure: Comfortable and Light, Relaxing and Free
Key Elements: Ultra-lightweight, no pressure during long wear. We recommend lightweight TR90 material or titanium frame. The styles mainly include small round frames and lightweight square frames. The nose pads should be soft and adjustable, and the temple parts should be elastic to achieve true “unnoticeable wearing”.
Social and Fashion Combination: Displaying Individuality and Becoming the Focus
Key Elements: Design感， Decorativeness, Uniqueness. Boldly try cat-eye frames, unconventional frames， color gradient panels， or styles with metal inlays， tortoiseshell patterns. This is an excellent opportunity to express one’s attitude， making reading glasses the finishing touch to the overall look.
Step 3: Focus on details, emphasize experience – The comfort hidden within millimeters
The style is not only about “appearance”, but also about “wearing”.
Size matching: The width of the frame should correspond to the width of your temples, and the length of the temple should just wrap around your ears without pressing on your head. A pair of properly sized glasses should remain stable and not slip off after wearing, and the pressure should be evenly distributed.
Nosepiece design: For Asian people with relatively flat noses, the adjustable silicone nosepiece is crucial for ensuring comfort and stability, effectively preventing the glasses from slipping.
Hinge and temple: High-quality spring hinges can enhance durability and make the temple movement smoother. The curvature at the end of the temple should match the shape of your earlobe.
Ultimate solution: Customization, achieving the perfect uniqueness
When standard styles fail to fully meet your demands for size, color or special design, the customization service is the ultimate answer.
Personalized adjustment: Adjust the frame size and leg curvature according to your precise facial shape data.
Exclusive aesthetics: Choose from hundreds of different board colors and metallic textures to freely combine them, and even create your own unique color scheme.
Integrated design experience: From the frame to the matching eyeglass case and cleaning cloth, all can form a unified style set.
