Choosing the right pair of designer prescription eyewear doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s all about finding a pair that suits your face shape, fits your style, and gives you the comfort you need.
When it comes to eyewear, statement glasses are more than just a necessity; they’re a bold expression of your personality and style. The right pair can completely transform your appearance, boost your confidence, and make a lasting impression. But how do you find frames that truly suit you?
At Pabari Opticians, we believe choosing statement glasses should be a blend of art and science, matching your skin tone, face shape, and personal aesthetic to create the perfect look.
Your glasses are often the first thing people notice about you. Whether you wear them daily or occasionally, the style, colour, and shape of your frames should complement your natural features rather than overpower them.
Ill-fitting or mismatched frames can throw off facial balance or clash with your undertones, while the right pair can enhance your complexion and highlight your best features. Investing time in choosing wisely ensures your glasses become an effortless extension of your personal style.
Before selecting your next pair of statement glasses, it’s important to identify your skin tone. Here’s how to tell:
1. Warm Skin Tones
If you have golden, yellow, or peachy undertones, you fall into the warm category. Your veins may appear greenish, and gold jewellery tends to flatter you more than silver.
Best frame colours: Amber, tortoiseshell, honey, olive, warm reds, and browns will beautifully enhance your natural glow.
2. Cool Skin Tones
Cool-toned skin typically has pink, blue, or red undertones. Your veins might appear blue, and silver jewellery looks more natural on you.
Best frame colours: Black, grey, silver, plum, blue, and bold jewel tones will bring out your complexion’s natural vibrancy.
3. Neutral Skin Tones
Lucky you - neutral tones can wear almost any shade! You can experiment with both warm and cool hues.
Best frame colours: Rose gold, soft pinks, classic tortoiseshell, or even clear acetate frames create a balanced, polished look.
Your face shape plays a vital role in determining which frames will flatter you most. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the right fit.
1. Round Face
Round faces benefit from angular frames that add definition and length.
Try: Rectangular, cat-eye, or geometric statement glasses. Avoid: Circular frames that can emphasise the roundness.
2. Square Face
Square faces feature strong jawlines and broad foreheads. Opt for frames that soften those angles.
Try: Round, oval, or rimless glasses. Avoid: Thick, boxy frames that exaggerate the shape.
3. Oval Face
Oval faces are naturally balanced, making them perfect for almost any style.
Try: Bold, oversized, or vintage-inspired statement glasses. Avoid: Frames that are too large for your features.
4. Heart-Shaped Face
With a broader forehead and narrower chin, heart-shaped faces look best with styles that add balance.
Try: Cat-eye or bottom-heavy frames to draw attention downward. Avoid: Top-heavy designs that make the forehead appear wider.
5. Diamond Face
Diamond faces have high cheekbones and narrower jawlines.
Try: Oval or rimless glasses that soften angular features.A void: Narrow frames that don’t highlight your cheekbones.
While it’s essential to choose statement glasses that flatter your features, they should also reflect your personality and lifestyle.Ask yourself:
Remember: your glasses are part of your story. Whether you love a daring pop of colour or timeless elegance, the key is to choose frames that make you feel confident every time you put them on.
