Just like the clothes we wear, eyeglasses are a personal statement we make about who we are and what interests we have. The eyeglasses we choose may say we are a businessperson, are creative, or are athletic. Because there are so many facets to our lives, we may choose several pairs of eyeglasses for different activities or events. There are many styles of eyeglasses to choose from.
What Do You Want These Eyeglasses For?
Dr. Harvey Carter suggests that the first step in choosing the best eyeglasses for you is to answer the question, “What do you want these eyeglasses for?” Think about the different events you attend, what activities you enjoy participating in, and what type of job you perform. Think about your eyeglasses like you think about your shoes. Your shoes say a lot about your personality, they are comfortable, and each pair of shoes is used for different activities.
There are many different aspects about eyeglasses to think about for every personality and lifestyle. When choosing eyeglasses, you will want to consider:
- The shape of the frames and lenses
- The color of the frames
- The material of the frames
- The size of the frames and lenses
Eyeglasses for Different Styles
Oval and rectangular shapes are great for anyone who wants their eyeglasses for a professional or business look. Try to avoid unusual shaped frames and lenses and stick with classic shapes. The color of the frames will complete the professional look. Think about choosing frames that are silver or gold.
Thicker frames with modern shapes and unusual colors make the statement of creativity. Artists, writers, and many college students tend to choose eyeglasses that do not follow the classic look.
Cat-eye, upswept rectangles, and oval shaped eyeglasses are great for busy parents and seniors who don’t necessarily think about modern trends, but want to look stylish. Burgundy, deep reds and browns, and shiny colors add to the stylish look.
