Fun glasses with geometric shapes are a trend

As you can see on the catwalks, hexagonal glasses are all the rage. According to the Gutes Sehen (Buena Vista) ophthalmological center in Germany, these types of glasses are a good symbiosis between retro charm and futurism, and go very well with the much-needed street-style.

Experts recommend this shape of glasses for people with round faces and full, soft features. The hexagon generates a good contrast. A tip: glasses should be chosen in which the eyebrows are parallel to the upper edge of the accessory.

Round glasses, ideal for stronger features

The opposite trend is round glasses. The good news is that they look good on almost any type of face, but especially on those with more marked and sharp features, since the roundness of the glasses softens them.

In this case, the advice is that the top line of the frame follows the rounded contour of the eyebrow. If you have straight eyebrows, you should opt for panto glasses. This model is rounded below, but somewhat more oval above. They are often recognized by their striking bridge and slightly protruding hinges.

Square glasses are for big faces

Back to angles: another trend for the European winter is square glasses. Experts believe that they are ideal for people with an elegant style or who want to wear a look casual.

Since square glasses also have more surface area, they look good on slightly larger faces. It is important to have straight eyebrows, since the upper edge is also straight. And also to take into account: its larger surface is an advantage if multifocal lenses are to be used.

The triangle for athletes

Of all geometric shapes, the triangle is missing. Usually, the shape goes backwards: that is, with the base up and the tip down. The eye center recommends this form of glasses for people with a look sporty and for those who prefer the style of clothing streetwear.

However, they are not recommended for people who have a narrow forehead and whose face is broader and more dominant in the lower half. (I)
