What's new in eyewear trends for 2014? Oversized frames, bright colors, "mathematical" and "cat-eye" shapes, rose-tinted sunwear, extra detailing, vibrant blues and earthy greens.
Probably the single most important factor has to do with face size and shape.
People with oblong face shapes, which are much longer than they are wide, look best in frames that are larger. Those with round faces typically want to choose frames that add angles; those which are are structured and slim. Darker colors and lenses that are wider than they are deep help define a round face.
Square face shapes generally want to avoid glasses with hard lines, as this could make the face appear boxy. Often, a frame that is wider than the widest part of the face can help to balance the angular features of a square face.
Heart-shaped faces, those with a chin much thinner than their forehead, should opt for shapes that balance the width of their face. Frames that widen at the bottom are a good choice for heart-shaped faces. Oval faces can pull off almost any style. Current trends in choosing square, rectangular or upswept glasses can help balance the curves of an oval face.
A generalization is that juxtapositions work best: the more angular your features, the rounder your glasses should be and vice versa. Keep in mind that your glasses also speak of your personality. You may wish to try a bright color to show off you upbeat attitude, or a darker subdued shade for a more mature look. Rimless options often work well for small faces as they are less obtrusive.
The possibilities are endless! Update your wardrobe with eyewear: it's functional AND fashionable.
