1) Decide if you want to go bold or conservative
Plastic frames are more statement pieces
Metal frames are thinner, a more conservative choice
Rimless frames are good for first time eyeglass wearers
2) Choose a frame that complements your hair colour and skin tone
Cool skin tones go well with black, purple, forest green, & navy colored frames
Warmer skin tones go well with tortoise, dark red, tan, & blush pink frames
Those with dark hair look better with black, gold, or dark grey frames
Those with blond hair should stick with softer shades
If in doubt, black frames match everything
3) Pick a frame that is opposite your face shape
Those with round faces, choose a square frame
Chiseled faces (predominate jawline), choose a rounder frame
Diamond shaped faces (cheekbones widest point & chin is pointed), choose an aviator frame
4) Consider your lifestyle
If you are active, consider a lightweight frame with nose pads so they don't slip
5) What type of lenses do you need?
Progressive lenses need frames that are deeper to fit all three zones
Single vision reading lenses that are not always worn would be better protected with a full rimmed frame
