Scegliere gli occhiali perfetti per la forma del tuo viso

Choosing the perfect glasses for the shape of your face.

Glasses are much more than just a tool to improve vision: they are a statement of style, a way to express your personality, and enhance your features.

At ILOP, we firmly believe in the importance of a thoughtful and personalized choice of frames. This guide is designed to help you navigate the sea of available options and find the perfect frame for the shape of your face.

Identifying your face shape.

In choosing the perfect frame, everything starts with understanding the shape of your face. This step is crucial because the shape of your face determines which frame styles suit you best. Here’s how you can identify the shape of your face and why it is so important in the eyewear selection process.

The shape of your face is influenced by various aspects such as the length of your face, the width of your forehead, cheeks, and jawline. To determine it, you can follow these simple steps:

  1. Mirror and drawing: Use a mirror. Pull your hair back and look directly into the mirror. With a washable marker or lipstick, trace the outline of your face while looking in the mirror. The resulting shape will give you a general indication.
  2. Measurements: for a more precise analysis, you can measure the width of your forehead, cheeks, jawline, and the length of your face. These measurements can help you distinguish whether your face is longer than wide, wider than long, or balanced.
  3. Professional consultation: At ILOP, we can provide you with personalized advice. Our experts are ready to guide you through the process of identifying your face shape using visual and measurement methods.

Once these initial steps are done, it’s time to understand the shape of your face. The main categories are round, oval, square, heart-shaped, and diamond. Each of these shapes has specific features that pair better with certain frame styles:

  • Round: A round face has nearly equal length and width, with soft features.
  • Oval: Longer than wide, with delicate features and a rounded jawline.
  • Square: Characterized by a broad forehead and angular jawline, with similar length and width.
  • Heart shaped: A wider forehead that narrows down to a pointed chin.
  • Diamond: Wide cheekbones with a narrower forehead and chin.

Knowing the shape of your face is the first essential step in finding the perfect frame. At ILOP, we are here to help you in this journey, ensuring that you choose glasses that not only improve your vision but also enhance your personality and unique style.

Color and Personality

Choosing the perfect frame is not just about the shape. The color and style of the frame play a crucial role in reflecting your personality and complementing your appearance. At ILOP, we understand the importance of these aspects and offer a variety of options to meet every style need.

The color of the frame can significantly influence the impression you make. Here are some tips for choosing the right color:

  • Skin tone: Choose colors that harmonize well with your skin tone. For warm skin tones, opt for shades of brown, gold, ivory, or olive green. For cool skin tones, colors like black, silver, pink, blue, or purple can be particularly flattering.
  • Eye color: You can also match or contrast the color of your glasses with the color of your eyes. For example, green or brown frames can enhance green eyes, while blue or gray frames can highlight blue eyes.
  • Personal preferences: Beyond practical considerations, think about what you like. Are you drawn to bold, vibrant colors, or do you prefer more subdued, classic shades?

Eyeglass frames are an extension of your personality. Whether you're a conservative or eccentric person, there are frames that reflect who you are.

  • For a classic style, choose traditional frames such as aviators, rectangular, or round lenses. Colors like black, brown, or metal are safe choices.
  • If you prefer a modern style, consider frames with unique designs or bold details. Bright colors, unusual shapes, and innovative materials can make your glasses a real fashion accessory.
  • For those who love a bold and creative look, explore frames with vibrant colors, prints, and unusual textures. These styles are a fantastic way to show off your creative and unique side.

At ILOP, we have a wide range of frames in different colors and designs. Whether you're inclined toward a bold look with vibrant colors or prefer a more understated, classic approach, we have something that suits your unique style.
