Look good - and feel great in your new glasses!

 

Glasses need not be a pain. They can be a stylish fashion accessory, complementing your good looks. But it is important that they are comfortable too.

Here's what to look out for when you next choose a pair of frames.

So you need glasses?

Congratulations! Now you need to get the most attractive pair you can. Glasses are very much a modern fashion item and it may take a little time to find the best pair for you. Think of choosing your glasses the way you would buy some new clothes. You wouldn't buy the first dress or suit you tried on, and the same is true of your new frames. Try not to have any preconceived ideas of the frame style you want before you visit us. Then try on as many frames as you can - you may find a shape that you had never dreamed of works for you.

But if you don't know where to start first, here are a few pointers.

ANNE KLEIN EYEWEAR

  • Faces come in all shapes and sizes and it is important to pick a frame shape that complements you.
  • People with round faces should try to stay clear of big, round frames.
  • Likewise, squarer faces will be enhanced by rounder, softer frames.
  • But what about the colour of the frames? Colour-coordination is important, as any colour analyst will tell you.
  • Lightweight, metal frames can match blond or light coloured hair, but if you have very pale skin you should avoid clear frames - there are many multi- coloured frames available that could add colour to your complexion!
  • Other metallic colours, like gold or copper, look great with red hair, as do tortoise-shell frames (also known as"havana" frames).
  • Clear frames suit those of us with very dark skins, as do silver or gold styles. Reds and browns can also be attractive, but black may be just too heavy for people with very dark hair.
There are no rules, so don't be afraid to try on all sorts of frames. To help you we have installed a computerised state-of-the-art dispensing system which gives you a preview of what you will look like in your finished spectacles, complete with lenses - before the lenses have been made!
