Choosing an optical frame is not something to be taken lightly

There are people who, when they need glasses, simply walk into the nearest specialty store and choose a pair of frames from just a few lines of products available to them.

For them, perhaps the ability of glasses to dress up the wearer is not so important.

Of course, there are also those who are well aware of the importance of eyeglass frames. They take the trouble to find places where they can choose from a wide selection of premium-quality frames and receive thorough advice. Of course, we don't choose a pair of frames to last for decades, but even if we only wear them for a year or two, they will definitely be a defining element of our appearance, so we should definitely not take the selection and decision-making process lightly. That's why we decided to dedicate today's blog post to this topic.

What shape of optical frame will look good?

Perhaps one of the most pressing questions that cannot be discussed enough is: what shape of frame should we choose? When, for example, is a classic Alexander McQueen optical frame a good choice, and when is it worth looking for something more distinctive?

We try to answer this question in sufficient detail in our frequently asked questions section, but here we will briefly summarize which frames are best suited to which face shapes.

Oval or narrower, angular frames look good on round faces.

For oval faces, round and geometric frames are ideal, but make sure that the frame is wider than the face itself.

For those with angular face shapes, we recommend rounder shapes, and you can feel free to choose more heavily decorated optical frames.

Heart-shaped faces are the luckiest. If you have one, almost any frame will suit you, so you just need to decide whether you want to convey elegance, extravagance, or playfulness.

Pay attention to the details!

Before we get lost in focusing only on the frame, we would like to point out that other factors must also be taken into account.

These include the material of the frame, as there are quite a few people who are allergic to certain materials. This is one of the reasons why it is important to devote the necessary time and energy to buying frames, as there are few things more annoying than buying the frames you want and only finding out when you wear them that they irritate your skin.

Another important parameter is the weight of the optical frame: there are lighter and heavier versions, and it is up to each individual to decide which one they prefer. Some people like not to feel anything on their nose, while others prefer more striking, dominant pieces.

It is very important that we are in expert hands.

As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, many people rush to buy frames for their glasses. When they do so, they are unlikely to receive thorough, detailed advice that covers all their needs.

At Sunglass Magic, we firmly believe that we need to talk to our customers as much as possible in order to really help them choose the right optical frames. This can be done either by phone or online, but the best option is to book an appointment for a personal consultation, as this allows our customers to see our entire range for themselves.
