Choosing the Best Bold Glasses Material, Width and Colour Suitability Price & Shipping

How to Choose the Best Bold Glasses?

To choose the best bold glasses, you should consider face shape, frame size, colour of the frames, match the glasses to your hairstyle, accessorise accordingly and accentuate your personality.

Consider face shape:Consider face shape for choosing the best bold glasses. Certain frames pair well with certain face shapes as they balance out your features.
Frame size: Consider frame size by trying them on and assessing how they fit. Bold frames can be any size.
The colour of your frames:Consider the colour of your frames based on your everyday attire and the occasions you most frequently wear your frames. Bold frames are typically brightly coloured or have a fun, interesting pattern.
Match to your Hairstyle:Match your frames to your hairstyle. Shorter textured hair will make your eyewear a focal point on the face, so you may prefer a thinner frame which will not overpower. Medium length hair is versatile when it comes to compatible frames, so you might want to consider thickness and style when it comes to glasses frames. Men with longer hairstyles can opt for thicker frames as these won’t be overshadowed by the length.
Accentuate your Personality: Accentuate your personality with your bold glasses! The point of bold glasses is to stand out from the crowd! Pick a bright colour or pattern, size or shape that you feel best represents you!

How to Choose the Best Bold Glasses According to Skin Tone?

To choose the best bold glasses according to skin tone you should identify the undertone of your skin and pick a complementary colour. To identify your skin undertone you can look at the veins in your wrist. Generally blue or purple veins indicate cool toned skin. For cooler skin undertones, such as blue or purple, cooler frame colours like blue, silver, and green will complement your skin well. Green veins can indicate warm toned skin. For warmer skin undertones, such as yellow or peachy hues, select frames in similarly warm colours, like tortoiseshell, brown, gold, or other earthy tones. Neutral skin tones have both cool and warm undertones, making them relatively versatile in complementing colours.

How to Choose the Best Bold Glasses According to Face Shape?

To choose the best bold glasses according to face shape you should determine your face shape, and choose a glasses shape that fits it well. The most common face shapes are square, oval, pear and round, shapes. The types of face shapes and what glasses would suit them, are listed below.

Square Faces: Square faces are characterised by an angular forehead and chin, and a face that is mostly in proportion. Round or oval glasses are best for square faces, as they soften the naturally sharp angles.
Oval Faces: Oval faces are rounded and longer than they are wide. Angular or square frames are best for oval faces; however, this face shape is considered versatile and may work with other shapes too.
Pear Faces: Pear faces are characterised by a narrow forehead and wider jawline. The best glasses for pear faces are round and oval shapes.
Round Faces: Round faces are circular in appearance with little to no angles. The best glasses for the round face shape are rectangular or square frames as they provide contrast and angles for the soft curves of this face shape.

How to Choose the Bold Glasses According to Eye Colour?

Eye colour should not play a major factor in choosing the best bold glasses. If a person wants guidance on what frames may look the best on them, it is best to look towards other physical features such as skin, hair colour, face and nose shape.

Blue or grey eyes will be complemented by silver, grey, or navy bold frames.

The front of each acetate frame is then milled from a single block and shaped, polished, and refined through multiple hand-finished steps. Metal frames start as fine wire that’s formed, welded, and assembled piece by piece for strength and durability. After shaping, all frames undergo extensive polishing and tumbling for a smooth, comfortable finish. Hinges, rivets, and temples are fitted by hand, lenses are individually cut to match each frame, and every pair is thoroughly inspected to ensure it meets our quality standards before it reaches you. Here at Oscar Wylee, we pride ourselves on the expert design and production of our frames and strive to showcase professionalism in every detail.
