At Simon Eye Associates our patients are constantly asking us questions about how to choose Eyewear based on the clothes they wear, their body type, etc. To make it easier, we decided to post this article written by Eyewear Designer, Robert Marc.  Robert has been in the Fashion Eyewear business for many years, founding his own line in 1999.  Here’s what Robert had to say:

• 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.
