How to Choose the Best Memory Twist Glasses for Women?

To choose the best Memory Twist glasses for women, you should consider lifestyle and aesthetic needs, face shape and try the frame on. These considerations can be applied to choosing the best glasses for women for any material, not just memory metal. The ways to choose the best Memory Twist collection glasses for women are listed below.

  • Lifestyle and aesthetic needs: Considering lifestyle and aesthetic needs is an important step in determining whether memory metal frames from the Memory Twist Collection are a good eyewear choice. Memory metal glasses are well-suited to those who have a more on-the-go, chaotic lifestyle, as they can be more durable than other frames due to their bendability. Tere are more limited colour options and designs, however there is still a variety such as black, blue and pinks for timeless options.
  • Face Shape: Face shape is another consideration to be made when choosing the best memory twist glasses for women, as some frame shapes will be better suited to certain face shapes. For example, round memory metal glasses may be better suited to those with square faces as these soften the natural angles of the face.
  • Trying the Frame On: Trying the frame on is important before purchase to see how your memory metal frames from the Memory Twist Collection fit on your face. You should look out for how the nose bridge fits on your face, and if the temples are too short or too long.

How to Choose the Best Memory Twist Glasses for Men?

The ways to choose the best memory twist glasses for men will be the same as choosing memory twist frames for women. These steps include considering lifestyle and aesthetic needs, face shape and trying the frame on. These considerations can be applied to choosing the best glasses for men for any material, not just memory metal. The ways to choose the Memory Twist glasses for men are listed below.

  • Considering Lifestyle and Aesthetic Needs: Considering lifestyle and aesthetic needs is an important step in determining whether memory metal frames from the Memory Twist Collection are a good eyewear choice. Memory metal glasses are well-suited to those who have a more on-the-go, busy lifestyle due to their heightened bendability compared to other frames, making them more durable for the accident-prone.
  • Face Shape: Face shape is another consideration to be made when choosing the best memory twist glasses for men, as some frame shapes will be better suited to certain face shapes. For example, rectangle memory metal glasses may be better suited to those with round or oval faces, as these add structure and angle to the face.
  • Trying the Frame On: Trying the frame on is important before you purchase to see how your memory metal frame fits on your face. You should look out for how the nose bridge sits on your face, and if the temples are the right length across the top of your ears, as if they are too loose they can move uncomfortably on the face.

How to Choose Memory Metal Glasses According to Skin Tone?

To choose memory metal glasses according to skin tone, determine your skin undertone, and finally choose your frames to align with this. Determine your undertone by checking the colour of the veins on your inner wrist/forearm. If they look blue or purple, you may have cool undertones and fair skin; if they look green, you may have warm undertones and darker skin. However, if you have a mix of blue and green, you may be considered neutral-toned. Choose memory metal glasses that are complementary to your skin tone. For those with warm undertones, opt for similarly warm colours such as gold and bronze. Those with cool undertones may want to opt for blues, silver or green memory metal frames. Neutral toned skin can opt for a variety of skin tones as they complement a variety of colours with their neutral palette. Regardless of skin tone, you can't go wrong with a timeless black memory metal frame.

How to Choose Memory Twist Glasses According to Face Shape?

The ways to choose memory twist glasses according to different face shapes involve identifying what face shape you have and what glasses will best complement this face shape. The most common face shapes are round face shapes, pear face shapes, square face shapes, oval face shapes and heart face shapes. The ways to choose the best memory twist glasses according to face shape are listed below.

  • Round face shapes: Round face shapes are well-suited to rectangular or square memory twist frames, due to this face shape's curved and undefined appearance as angular frames can help bring structure to this face shape.
  • Pear face shapes: Pear face shapes are characterised by a fuller jaw and narrower forehead, resembling the shape of a pear. Angular flexible glasses, such as square frames, are well-suited to pear face shapes, as they add width to the forehead and balance the face.
  • Square face shapes: Square face shapes are generally angular, and as wide as they are long. The best memory twist glasses for square face shapes are those that are round or oval, as these soften the angular features of square faces.
  • Oval face shape: Oval face shapes have smooth curves and resemble an oblong shape. They are relatively versatile in suiting a lot of frame shapes as they are longer than round faces and have less defined angles than square faces. However, memory twist frames that suit an oval face shape the most include rectangular and square-shaped frames, as they help to balance the roundness of the face.
  • Heart face shape: A heart face shape is characterised by a wider forehead and a chin that is small, usually comes to a point. Memory twist glasses for a heart-shaped face are round, classic frames, as these shapes help to balance out the wider forehead.
