  Test the fit. Put on the eyeglass frames and determine if they are comfortable, as you will be wearing them all day.

• 2

  Investigate the style. Accentuate your face shape as you discard square frames for a square face and round frames for a round face.

• 3

  Select the type of frame. Analyze your daily activities. Choose flexible frames if you tend to bend your glasses, sporty frames if you are a jock, or designer frames if you are a fashionista.

  Identify a color for your frames. Look at your skin's undertones to blend the frame color to the yellow or blue base of your skin.

  Try on many different pairs of frames. Do this on several different days and bring along a companion for an honest opinion. Look in a mirror and trust your instincts. Take pictures and examine them before a final choice.
