Wide Face Glasses for Men And Women

When choosing wide frame glasses, you have to ensure that you get the correct fit. For that, you need to start by measuring the total width of the frame. Mostly, your frame's width will fall in the range of 120 mm and 150 mm. The next thing that you need to do is ensure that the bridge of the frame sits comfortably on the bridge of your nose. Try and go with a pair whose bridge sits slightly lower on the bridge of your nose because most wide frame eyewear items are designed with frames that have a low bridge fit. For more comfort, go with a pair that has adjustable nose pads. The next thing that you need to do is find a pair that is of the right size for your face. Finally, if you already own a pair of wide frames then you can use it to find another pair that is of a similar size.

A common mistake that many people make is to confuse oversized glasses with wide frame glasses. They are not the same. Wide frame eyewear puts greater emphasis on the horizontal width of the frame while oversized glasses are designed for style rather than utility or comfort. This means that it is easier to match oversized glasses with your looks but they may not provide suitable functionality. Large glasses are not the same as wide frame glasses because the two have different horizontal distances of the glasses and they also have different nose bridges and temples.

If your face is wide and it is either round or diamond or oval or even heart-shaped, then you will need to choose the right wide frame glasses for such face shapes. The trick lies in finding a pair that complements the shape of your face without making it look wider than it already is. You should go with a pair that has nice geometric designs and which has strong angles to offset the roundness of your wide face. Do not go with small frames as they will not extend beyond your temples and that would end up making your face look larger than it really is. If you want to sport a distinctive look, then you should go with polygon-shaped glasses that are designed to complement the soft and round features of your wide face. You can also go with rectangular frames, especially if you want to look more sophisticated and if you want to make your face look long as well as narrow. Cat-eye glasses are also an option worth choosing, especially if you want to draw attention to your prominent cheekbones and if you want to highlight your round and soft cheeks.
