Recently, I was with a client and noticed her glasses kept slipping off her nose. She was constantly pushing them up. I know this problem intimately because I have a flat nose with a very low bridge. Eyewear choices were limited for me because my eyewear needs to have nose pads that can be pinched to keep the glasses from sliding. Warby Parker just introduced a new line of eyewear so people like me can wear glasses without nose pads.
When choosing eyewear follow these steps:
Decide on the occasions when you will wear your eyewear, e.g., for business casual or for weekend sports
Comfort is critical – with the right fit you won’t even know you are wearing them
Round faces will look better with more angular and defined shapes
Oval faces can wear almost any frame shape
Frames should not appear too wide on your face
Black and tortoise shell frames have been longstanding successful staples
Frames are getting smaller and rounder according to Garret Leight of California Optical — www.garretttlieght.com
