Ever wondered why your parents always cribbed when you used to be on the edge on your seat in front of your favorite television program sporting those thick glasses. Those were like your window to the new world that you had started discovering. The thick-rimmed cockroach colored spectacles were a cause of dismay for your parents and you alike.
Let’s face it. Look at yourself in the mirror. You are wearing the most stunning dress for the evening party. You have the penchant for turning to the queen of the party. People fall for your personality. And yet, you have to make do with a framed piece of jewelry over your eyes. The once sparkling eyes have been reduced to a minion behind that behemoth of a spectacle. Now, that’s a real dampener for the party.
You have seen lots of people change their habits, and often long-term habits for the sake of their convenience. This happens even with the man who is a stickler for his principles. But it is highly unlikely that you will be satisfied shifting to contact lenses once you are familiar with your glasses. You will keep wondering if it will fall off and whether you have to push it around with your hand, the thought of which is so disturbing. And wait, they are not the normal metals on your nose bridge, they are two rubber flaps perched in your eyes, so you have all the more reason to be nervous.
Who was the one who had told you that eye glasses are a strict no-no in a party? A party is the place where you can let your hair down. So anything can be considered party-wear if it keeps the mood of the part alive. It means if you have it in you to make a style statement then it makes for wearing in a party. You just have to grab the best looking eye gear for you. That may well become the toast of the season the next time you flash it in your party. But how do you realize what suits you best? How do you gauge the reaction of the party-goers? Whether it will send the men to a tizzy? Or whether you will be deemed to old and shabby for the flashiest party in town?
• There are various retail options that store these eyeglasses that are worth flashing in a party. They have an ensemble of glasses that may well become the next coveted item in the fashion circuit. All of them will appear as the dream purchase, but you will have to take a call. Choose the best among them.
• You could log on to the web world and that will be another avenue for the eyewear buying experience that you are gearing up for. There are various websites catering to your need. But the demerit of this kind of shopping is that it remains virtual at the end of the day. You cannot try on the glasses and experience it for yourself. You would not be able to imagine yourself in those glasses. But some sites have a ‘try-on’ option. In this system, you can upload a picture of yourself, and then you can keep placing different glasses on your face to see whether it suits you.
You can even take advice and professional support from an eyewear specialist regarding the shape of your face. It could be one of the seven common shapes of faces. He can guide you to the perfect frame that will suit your face and enhance your features. For instance, for a round face angular, sharp frames are the best. For square face, round frames are the best. And oblong faces are highlighted in frames that taper down the face from top to bottom.
