Happy Saturday!
As a person with less-than-perfect vision, I personally prefer contacts, because it gives me the freedom to wear whatever pretty sunglasses I want. But there are always those days where I don't have time to put in contacts, or my eyes are just too stressed out to wear contacts comfortably - so I always have a pair of prescription glasses on hand to make sure I can actually see where I'm walking.
However functional they may be, glasses often become a fashion burden - the wrong size, shape, or design can make you look super old or nerdy. Just like our bodies, everyone's face is a different shape - and for every shape, there are glasses frames that compliment the face.

Circle Face:
If you have full cheeks, and a soft chin and forehead, then you have a circle face.
The best way to complement your face shape is to find a frame that is rectangular and angular, to give a sharper contrast to your soft features.

Square Face:
If you have a strong jaw and broad forehead, then you have a square face.
The best way to complement your face shape is to find a frame that is soft and round, to give a softer and gentler feel. Also, try to find a frame that sits high on the nose, to elongate your face.

Diamond Face:
If you have a narrow forehead and jaw, then you have a diamond face.
The best way to complement your face shape is to find a frame that sweeps up and gives a delicate touch to your sharper features. Oval shapes, such as the cat eye, provides a sophisticated and fashionable feel.

Oval Face:
If you have a longer face with soft edges, then you have a oval face.
The best way to complement your face shape is to find a frame that is rounder and deeper. An oversized frame that is just slightly wider than your face will prevent further elongating your face.

The best way to complement your face shape is to find a frame that is delicate - preferably something rimless or with thin, light frames.

Everything your wear, necessity or otherwise, should be something you enjoy. These are my tips, but if you rock a different shaped pair of glasses, go for it! Find a comfortable pair of glasses that make you happy to wear them, and they will never be a fashion burden.
