Whether you choose Square frames or Cat-Eyes, your glasses can tell a lot about who you are. They don’t just improve your vision and make it easier to see the world around you, but they also showcase certain elements of your personality and style. The shape of your glasses not only tells the world about who you are but can also help drive your self-expression.
Everyone has unique prescription requirements and may need different kinds of lenses or frames to satisfy those needs, but aside from that, what does the shape of your glasses say about you? Read on to find out how the shape of your eyewear reflects everything, from vintage fashion trends to modern office preferences.
WHAT YOUR FRAMES SAY ABOUT YOU
One of the first things that people will notice about you is your glasses, and they say more about you than you may realise. They can give an immediate indicator as to what your personality is like and even have the ability to completely change or alter the way a person is perceived.
They can also determine how people see you and what kind of first impression you will make on others, like how Superman was able to change into Clark Kent with a switch of his specs. Here are what your glasses style choices say about your personality:
Once worn by pilots and police officers, these classic glasses exude a sense of authority, whilst also suggesting you are adventurous and aren’t afraid to take risks. You enjoy living in the moment and are all about the retro-cool aesthetic.
These glasses are the ultimate vintage accessory, made popular by the iconic figures of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe in the 60s. You are cool, confident, and feminine and enjoy the vintage style.
A staple office style for decades, those who wear rectangular glasses are academically inclined and enjoy classic styles. You also have a reserved personality and prefer to be a wallflower rather than the centre of attention.
This simple, clean look is subtle and refreshing, adding a hint of maturity. Despite its subdued appearance, if you wear oval frames you are likely to be artistic and quirky, somebody who isn’t afraid to think outside of the box.
The solid, no-nonsense lines of the square frames suggest that you mean business and are highly organised. You are practical and a realist, someone who views the world around them as it is rather than through rose-tinted spectacles.
These ‘Harry Potter’ style glasses say you lean towards the unconventional, creative side. You likely embrace the hipster style, and you aren’t afraid to show off your eccentric personality. You also have a softer side and are a sensitive soul at heart.
Those who wear these timeless glasses are smart, stylish, and mean business. They are a classic power accessory for the fashion-forward, and it shows that you aren’t afraid to make a statement. You are also creative and may enjoy all aspects of art, from writing to designing.
Wayfarer wearers are nonchalant and happy, preferring to relax and enjoy the ride rather than wanting to control every aspect of their lives. These retro glasses can give the allusion that you have a more nerdy, geeky personality.
The geometric glasses give off both an analytical and fun side. You are likely a playful person who isn’t afraid to draw a little attention to yourself! You can party but also have no problems with solving some advanced algebra either.
WHAT STYLES WILL SUIT MY FACE SHAPE?
With so many different glasses shapes and styles available, choosing the right style for your face shape can be difficult. A pair of glasses can either accentuate your facial features or clash with them, which is why it is important to choose the correct style for your face shape. A guide detailing the styles which will suit each face type is listed below, so you’ll be able to choose the correct style for your face shape in no time!
OVAL
Almost all frame types will suit you! However, Cat-Eye or Square frames will highlight your features well.
HEART
Opt for Clubmaster, Cat-Eye or Aviator-style frames.
ROUND
Choose shapes that are the opposite, such as Rectangle or Square.
SQUARE
Again, choose shapes that are the opposite, so Round, Cat-Eye or Geometric frames would be ideal.
RECTANGLE
Steer clear of round frames! Opt for Wayfarer or Square frames.
TRIANGLE
Cat-Eye, Rectangle and Square frames would suit you best.
DIAMOND
Choose wider frames such as Cat-Eye or Clubmaster to accentuate your features.
