How to Find the Perfect Glasses to Elevate Your Personal Look

Gone are days where glasses and sunglasses were only worn for function. Today, glasses are a stylish accessory and have the power to transform a perceived appearance and elevate a personal look ultimately.

How do Glasses Change the Way You Look?

The overall design of glasses interacts with the eye and impacts the visual lines surrounding it, like the eyeballs, facial structure, and lines. The interaction of the glasses and face can unify or contrast facial features. For example, a frame that follows the natural lines of the face can highlight the cheekbones through unification. The nose can appear smaller by enhancing the eyes with very wide and sparkle frames.

As a general rule: The more angular the face, the rounder the glasses must be. The more round the face, the more angular the glasses.

The Sociological Impact of Glasses

According to popular beliefs in society, media and culture, those who sport glasses appear more intelligent and trustworthy but less attractive. Many studies surrounding men wearing glasses suggest that glasses increase their general perceived attractiveness. Sunglasses wearers are perceived as more attractive but have lower trustworthiness.

The Psychology of Face Perception

“Your face shape tends to reveal your basic personality and overall approach to life.”
(The Wisdom of Your Face by Jean Haner)

Facial characteristics reflect genetics and the personality qualities a person may have required over their life. For example, someone who smiles very often typically has more lines around the mouth. But Jean Haner goes a step further; she believes that our genetic facial features, which we are born with, align with our true character.
