Frame Style Guide: By Frame Vertical & Horizontal Dimensions
Do you know that choosing the right frames can help to sculpt the shape of your face?
The higher the depth of the frame relative to the length of the face, the shorter will be the appearance of the face
The wider the frame relative to the width of the face, the narrower the appearance of the face
Frame Style Guide: By Frame Thickness & Colour
The colour & thickness of the frame may also affect the relative appearance of the width and depth of a face.
These are the general rules when selecting a frame:
Thicker and darker frame will cause the face dimension to look narrower.
Thinner frame and lighter color frame have less influence on facial features. A lighter frame color may widen or lengthen a face.
A frame color that is close to the wearer’s complexion will give the person a more conservative, thoughtful or softer look.
A frame color with higher contrast to the wearer’s complexion will give the person a bolder & more eye-catching look.
