GETTING FRAMED
Here are some tips from eyewear designer Robert Marc:
• Take your entire lifestyle into consideration. Don't buy a casual style if you wear suits to work and dress up a lot for evenings.
• Pick a shape that contrasts with your face shape. If you have a round face, you don't want a round frame. Try something more horizontal and angular.
• Look at scale and balance. Just as a size 10 wouldn't buy a size 18 dress, a petite woman shouldn't get an oversized frame.
• Don't be afraid of making a mistake. Experiment and try on a lot of glasses. You might surprise yourself and discover a new look.
• You don't wear the same pair of shoes to go to the gym, work and a cocktail party. At minimum, you should have two or three pairs of glasses in your wardrobe.
