How to Wear Glasses With Style

Many people think that Benjamin Franklin invented glasses. The truth, however, is that the idea has been around for years before he made bifocal lenses.

In the 18th century, there were scientists tinkering with the idea of tinting corrective lenses in an attempt to help people see better. It wasn’t until 1929 that Foster Grant, a comb manufacturer, took advantage of a brand new technology known as “injection molding” and started to mass produce sunglasses. They were sold on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City.

HOW CAN GLASSES COMPLIMENT YOUR LOOK?

To get started, you need to find glasses that will compliment the shape of your face. The trick is to find frames that are slightly wider than your face.

Look for frames that mimic or highlight your brow line. For round face, look for strong angles to create contrast. If you have an oval face, look for features that are bold but will compliment the rest of your facial features.

If you have a square face, oval-shaped frames are great in making your features softer. Look for glasses with wider frames if your face is heart-shaped. This will balance out your features.
