Also, trying different types of glasses will provide a better insight into the most suitable styles of eyeglasses according to your face shape. So here are some points that will help you choose the right type of eyeglasses:

1. Length of your face
2. Shape of your eyes
3. Shape of your face
4.  Width of your nose

It will become easy for you to choose the most suitable eyeglasses among several popular frames. R. Kumar Opticians and their team of experts can suggest stylish glasses according to your face shape. 

In addition, some styles might enhance specific facial features, whereas others might be flattering for your entire face. Other important attributes that will help you in choosing the most popular eyeglass frames that will suit your face are as follows:

1. Skin Tone

A helpful method of choosing the most suitable styles of glasses is to learn which shades and tones will compliment you. The following points will help you choose the frames that will suit your skin tone by understanding the three different undertones: – 

1. Cool-toned skin: If you find silver or oxidised jewellery more soothing on your face compared to gold, you probably have a cool skin tone
2. Warm-toned skin: If you prefer the look of gold jewellery against your skin than silver or oxidised jewellery, then you are leaning towards a warm skin tone.

Highly suitable colours for cool skin tones are as follows:

• Black
• White
• Silver
• Grey
• Blue 

People with warm skin tones would look good in the following frame colours:

• Olive green
• Gold
• Honey
• Beige, and 
• Brown, Burgundy, Pink

2) Different Face Shape

Another important factor that accounts for the most stylish glasses is the face shape. The styles of glasses you choose should complement your face and ensure that your features appear more pronounced or hidden as per requirement. 

The primary feature to identify is the shape of your jawline; is it rounded or does it form angles.  In general, if your jawline is rounder then prefer square, rectangular or frames with shapes that form angles.  If the jawline has angles then prefer oval or round-rimmed frames.  

More specific face shapes and types of glasses that complement each other are as follows:

1. Diamond Face

Diamond-shaped faces have a narrow forehead and jawline. Therefore this face shape has high and enhanced cheekbones. So to reduce the attention towards your narrow features, the following frame shapes should be avoided:

• Boxy frames will make a face look even smaller
• Narrow frames would make the entire face shrink

2. Heart-shaped face

A heart-shaped face has a smaller chain and a large forehead. Therefore, it is advisable to refrain from wearing the following types of glasses frames:

• Decorative frames will emphasise the forehead
• Colourful frames since they would draw attention to the higher parts of the face
• Oval-shaped frames would not complement a heart-shaped face.

3. Oblong Face

An oblong face has a narrow jaw and chin compared to the forehead, and the cheekbones are higher. Due to such a unique face shape, almost all styles of popular eyeglass frames can be worn. However, the following types of glasses should be avoided to eliminate facial symmetry:

• Oversized glasses can make your face look smaller by covering the lower part of your face.
• Round glasses can make your face look smaller.

4. Oval Face

An oval face has proportioned features, allowing you to have more alternatives in trendy glasses. Although almost all frames are a good choice for your oval face, staying away from oversized glasses is a good idea as they make you look older. 

5. Round face

People with round faces should avoid frames that will make their faces look round. The following frames are some other styles of glasses that people with round faces should avoid:

• Rimless frames give you an older appearance
• Round frames will make you look more round

6. Square Face 

A square face is indicated with a broad forehead and jaw of the same length. As the goal is to reduce the box-like appearance of the face, it is a good idea to steer clear of the following styles of glasses:

• Double-bridged frames will create a sharp appearance
• Boxy frames will increase your face even more square
