Spring is a brilliant time to pick new frames for your eyeglasses. Besides, the optical world is budding with gorgeous pieces to match the season. People are going bold with frames of various shapes, sizes, and colors. The trend is making quite a difference in people's general look.

With so many trending frames available, you do not have to settle for just one. Eyewear is a very personal add-on that gives people an idea of your personality and style. Hence, you need to find the right fit.

Frames for Your Face Shape

First things first: What is your face shape? Is it round, oval, heart, square, or rectangle?

Knowing your face shape is the first step to finding the right frames for your face. Usually, frames that balance your facial features and shape are the perfect ones. For instance, consider an oval face shape. If you have an oval face shape, it means you have a narrow forehead and chin. The broadest part of your face is the section around your eyes.

Wearing narrow frames will make your face look longer. As such, you should find frames that are a little wider than the edges of your eyes. This will add angles to your face’s soft contours. Determine your face shape and find the frames that will bring out your unique facial features.

Choosing the Color

Neutral hues and lively crystals are all the rage this spring season. Neutral pink, browns, and beiges are now in style. Along with these subtle tones, crystal eyeglass frames with muted tones will add warmth and color to your everyday look.

If you want to go gentler, clear crystal frames are ideal picks. Also, as you pick your colors, consider frames that will pair well with your skin tone, hair color, and eye color. Your hair, eyes, and complexion play a big part.

Picking the Material

Because more people are going for clear eyeglass frames, acetate frames have become quite common. This is because the material meets people's top two needs: lightness and comfort.

Over the years, trending frames have become more refined, but comfort and style must always go together. As such, acetate frames complement spring's smooth and sophisticated vibe. Additionally, the material is eco-friendly, an aspect you can embrace straightaway.

Consult Your Optometrist

If you are looking for frames for your prescription eyeglasses, there are more things you need to think about.

What is your prescription? Are you farsighted, nearsighted, or require progressive lenses? Also, what is your routine? Are you a sportsperson, book lover, or do you spend a lot of time on your phone or computer?

All these factors point to the size of frames you need to wear. Your optometrist will help you answer these questions before settling for the frames you love. Now, you probably have an idea of things to consider when picking your new frames.
