Tape Your Face
So maybe you’re not going to want to take that literally and actually tape your face, but pulling free a measuring tape from your sewing kit, tool box, kitchen drawer, wherever, can be a huge help when it comes to finding the right frame. Frames are generally measured by temple length, bridge size and eye size. Larger frames will work better with larger faces, while smaller frames will work better with smaller faces. Measuring the size of your face will help you to compare with the dimensions of your ideal frame.
- Measure from the center of your hairline, all the way down to the bottom of your chin.
- Measure your forehead width from right to left, ensuring to keep the tape in the middle of your forehead.
- Measure your cheekbones by setting the tape just beneath your eye and stretching across to the opposite.
Name & Frame Your Face
Now that you have all of the correct measurements for your face, it’s time for you to determine exactly what your face shape is. Finding out your face shape is imperative for getting the perfect shades that will make you look a million dollars and it is nowhere near as hard as you think. There are many face shapes but most are broken down into five shapes.
- The Heart-Shaped Face: Rimless, butterfly, shield and aviator frames complement the best
- The Rounded Face: Rectangle, shields, wrap and squares will give you success
- The Diamond Face: With a narrow forehead and jawline, oval and rimless frames are suggested for this face shape
- The Oblong Face: Also known as long or rectangular, this shape should steer clear of small frames and work with oversized frames such as wrap, shield, square, wayfarer and rectangle
- The Oval Face: With fair even features, most frames will suit this most common face shape
Conclusion
All in all, matching up the perfect frames with your face shape is not overly complicated and will only help to get you the most out of your Ray Bans. Whether you’re sporting Aviators with your heart-faced shape or those classic Wayfarers with an oblong face, you’ll be sure to feel comfortable in your new frames. Even though you know what shades should work for you, it’s always fun to play around in front of the mirror because the results can sometimes surprise you.
