Choosing glasses has always been a bit of a struggle for me. I have an oval face, which I thought meant anything would look good, but that wasn't the case! I spent ages trying on different styles, feeling frustrated because some made my face look wider, and others just seemed…off. It felt like a never-ending quest to find the right pair.
I decided to take a bunch of photos of myself wearing different glasses styles. I tried everything from oversized frames to delicate, thin ones. Looking at the pictures, I realized something important: size really mattered. Some frames were just too big and overpowered my face, while others were too small and got lost. It was a real eye-opener.
I remember trying on a pair of really thin, rectangular frames. They were stylish, but they just didn't suit me. My face looked kind of washed out. Then, I tried on some square lenses, and I noticed they seemed to work better with my face structure. They provided a nice contrast and added some definition.
One thing I discovered is that narrower frames often work best for oval faces. They help to accentuate your features rather than taking over your face. Larger frames can sometimes make your face look wider or unbalanced. Narrower frames, on the other hand, can create a more harmonious and balanced look.
However, it’s not just about the width. The overall size of the frames is crucial. Many frames I tried on simply weren’t the right size for my face, regardless of their shape. It's important to find frames that are proportional to your facial features.
To my surprise, round frames actually looked pretty good! I never thought I could pull them off, but there was something about the proportions that just worked. I think it's because my features are quite balanced, so the roundness didn't clash. I wasn't expecting that at all.
Someone even mentioned that it looked like I was born wearing them! I thought that was a funny and flattering comment. It made me realize that sometimes, you have to step outside your comfort zone and try something unexpected.
Ultimately, I found that square lenses with slightly thicker rims worked best for me. They provide structure and definition to my face. The thicker rims add a bit of boldness, while the square shape complements my oval face shape. I now have several pairs that I rotate, depending on my outfit and mood.
I've been searching for a new pair of glasses, and I've been considering a metal half-rim frame. I think something like the Vanlook Reading Glasses Frames from Mozaer could be a good fit.
I like the idea of a half-rim because it's a little less heavy than a full frame, and the metal gives it a modern look. I'm also considering getting the anti-blue ray coating to help with eye strain from working on the computer all day. I've heard good things about Mozaer's quality, so I'm hoping they'll be a good investment.
