How To Find The Perfect Pair Of Designer Sunglasses For Your Face.

If you're like me, then finding the perfect pair of glasses is a task that can take hours or days to complete. First, you'll go online, read hundreds of reviews and browse through the websites for hours. Then you'll invest in what seems like your last hope: trying on a few hundred pairs in a store. But there's another way - Online shopping has given consumers access to tons of designer sunglasses at prices they could only dream about before -- so why not use this option instead?

However, some simple rules need to be followed when it comes to purchasing glasses online.

Eyewear is timeless in fashion!

If you want your cool fashion look to feel a little more legit, a pair of designer sunglasses is an absolute must. But sometimes, even the most stylish shades can still fail to suit your face shape and colouring. So to avoid red-eyeing it on your next splurge purchase, we've compiled this comprehensive guide about how to find the perfect pair of sunglasses for your face!

You'll learn everything from eyeglasses with wrap-around frames to aviators that'll make it easier for them not to slip off when you're active outside. Plus, too much sun can ruin the style factor. So read on to see how you can find a perfect eyewear for your eyes.  

Shop at the right places

The key is to go to a website or store with a good return policy. This will help ensure that you can send back any glasses that don't fit well or that you don't like. At Specstree, we offer free returns, so if you have any reservations about the glasses, there will be no worries about buying them. 

Understand Face Type  

It's also important to know what type of face shape you have before buying your sunglasses. Most glasses sellers only list the dimensions of their glasses online and not what faces they suit best. If you don't want to spend your hard-earned money on a pair of glasses that don't look good!

The sunglasses best suited for round face shapes are aviator or butterfly-shaped shades. Those with oval or square faces should try to avoid sunglasses with rounded lenses. Square-shaped frames can have rounded lenses, however depending on the sunglass style. Also, try to keep away from extremely wide lensed glasses and heavy frames because they can make your face look wider than it is.

If you have a narrow face, try to find eyewear styles with wider lenses. This will help balance your face and make it look wider.

It's also important to avoid dark lens colours because they can make your face look narrower.

Understand your style needs

When shopping for glasses online or anywhere, it's also essential to try on all types of glasses. Not all styles will look as good on your face as others; you'll need to try things on before you can find the style that looks best on you. Be sure not to buy more than one pair of glasses at a time to test out different types, however, so that you don't end up with too many pairs.

Size matters!

There's no question that the bigger your face, the larger the frames tend to be. So if you're looking for designer sunglasses that are bigger than usual and have a fuller jawline and broader forehead, chances are you'll want to consider a pair of sunglasses in a larger size.

On the other hand, if you have a slender face and smallmouth, your best options may be on the smaller side so that your frame won't look overly broad or bulky. Also, check how close the lenses are; most designer sunglasses come in different widths, but they can still pass as long as they sit correctly on your face.

Follow the guidelines below that will help you  find a pair that will look great on your face.

  1. First of all, take the following measurements:
  2. Your height in centimetres
  3. Your eye length (extended position) in centimetres
  4. Your eyeglass frame size (frame width is essential here, too). If you're not good at measurements, use a tape measure and measure from ear to ear. And now your beloved sunglass prescription.
  5. Last but not least, your PD (Pupillary Distance), or eyeglasses' bridge size. Previously we mentioned that the frame size is important. Eyeglass frame sizes are measured by the inside length of the frame, in millimetres (mm) to be exact, if you want to get technical. The inside height of this measurement is usually tiny for frames with smaller lenses or larger for frames with larger lenses.

And here's a little formula that'll make it easier for you to calculate your lens size for sunglasses: Lens size = frame width + 1.5mm

For example: If you have a frame width of 42 mm and a lens width of 42 mm, your lens size will be 61.5.

  1. Eyeglass frame width is measured from the outer edge of the frame to the inner edge of the lens, in millimetres (mm) if you want to get technical. The lens width measurement is vital for prescription sunglasses because it determines how much eyeglass frames get narrower. This measurement also depends on the front shape and curve of your eyeglass lenses: The more curved or rounded your lenses are, the wider they need to fit into your eyeglass frames. Otherwise, they'll look too wide or blocky in your frames.
