Choosing a pair of prescription glasses is not trivial. While in the past, the choice of frame was mainly based on technical criteria, today it is quite different. Prescription glasses have become a fashion accessory that reflects one’s personality and enhances identity. Are you part of the male demographic and looking for your future prescription glasses? You are in the right place! In this article in collaboration with Krys Optician, we provide you with 3 practical tips for choosing men’s prescription glasses. Face shape, color, comfort… We tell you everything about how to select trendy men’s glasses that suit YOU.
1 – Face shape: the number one criterion for choosing men’s prescription glasses
Every face has its geometric shape. Yes gentlemen, facial analysis is universal, and to wear prescription glasses well, it is important to choose a frame based on the shape of your face. This will help create harmony in your appearance. For example, if you have a square face with a strong jaw, a round or oval frame will soften your features. The aviator frame suits long faces, while square or rectangular frames work well for round figures.
Unsure of your face shape? Take a photo of yourself and try to determine your face shape by drawing its outline. You will then only need to select from a range of frames with different shapes the men’s prescription glasses that suit you.
2 – Choose a pair of men’s prescription glasses that match your personality
As we mentioned in the introduction, wearing glasses is also a matter of style. To reveal your personality or reflect your identity, it is about choosing men’s prescription glasses that represent you. To do this, you can consider your clothing style: what clothes do you usually wear? How do you define yourself in terms of fashion? More casual chic or hipster? Your hobbies and profession can also influence your choice of future trendy men’s prescription glasses. For instance, a rectangular frame is more commonly worn by corporate executives and managers, as its look conveys seriousness and discipline in this context.
Ultimately, the question to ask yourself is what you want to convey, what message you want to send.
3 – Focus on comfort when choosing men’s prescription glasses that suit you
Whether opting for corrective or comfort glasses, it is essential to feel comfortable while wearing them. To ensure this, check the weight of your frame. A pair that is too heavy will tend to slide down. Therefore, aim for lightness. Also, inquire about the shape of the temples. For comfort, they should not press against your temples or slide off. Finally, the choice of materials and lenses will also impact how you wear them, and thus your comfort. The best approach is to try them on!
