Try on every pair of eyeglasses in the store to find out how each one looks, but narrowing down your choices in advance can save you a lot of time and stress. A general guideline is to choose frames that are the opposite of your face shape. Here are some more detailed guidelines tailored to specific face shapes. OVAL - Most styles look good on oval faces, so try either geometric or rounded frames. OBLONG - Pick a curved or rounded style to emphasize the width of your face rather than the depth. ROUND - Squared or angled frames will help sharpen your features. TRIANGULAR - Aviator and geometric styles can add width to the lower part of the face. SQUARE - Look for rounded, cat-eyed, or oval styles to soften the shape of your face. RECTANGULAR - Curved or rounded styles will make your face appear wider. When choosing frames, consider their overall size, which should be in proportion to the size of your face. Make sure the frames fit you properly. As for colour, if you prefer colored frames, pick a shade that complements your hair and skin tones. Above all, choose a frame that you like and that reflects your style and personality. One final pointer -- when shopping for frames, it helps to bring along a friend you trust to offer honest opinions. Your favourite part of your wardbrobe, may be your jeans... The one look for jeans that is here to stay is the washed-out, worn-in look. Since there is so much variety there is no excuse not to pick up a pair that enhances your best features. More importantly, they can be paired with just about anything. Choose well and you just can't go wrong. There is nothing like getting home and slipping into your favourite pair of jeans. For most men, jeans are the most important and most loved part of their wardrobe. Mostly because of their versatility, comfort and style range. So, you ask, what should you look for when choosing a pair? How do you guarantee satisfaction? Well, fist off try to find a style that is timeless. Good old original blue jeans never fail. They will be stylish for years to come. Also timeless are slightly faded jeans and even dirty denim. These styles are a little more trendy then your regular blue jeans, but will also have a long life. It is also important to think of where and when you will be wearing your jeans. If, for example, you only wear suits to work, your jeans might be reserved strictly for going out or for lounging around the house, which means you have few restrictions when selecting a look and style. If your work environment allows jeans, however, denim might be everyday wear. In that case, you might want to consider more conservative styles, as even in the most casual workplaces, subtlety goes a long way. Either way, always ensure your jeans look good with sneakers, boots or dress shoes. After you have purchased your good old classic pair of jeans, consider choosing a second pair that has a little flair for a night out on the town there is nothing better than a funky and fun jean that leans towards the trends of today. Consider a ripped jean to add a little pizzaz! Getting the right fit is the most important part of all. No matter how great the jeans are, if they don't fit your body properly, they just won't look good. First, make sure the legs, crotch and waist areas are not too tight. You should also see if they look good from behind (even if it makes you feel vain). Remember, if you're not sure, try on other styles! Jeans should be comfortable, stylish, and most importantly they should make you feel great! Eyeglasses provided by: LE BEAU OPTICAL BOUTIQUE 174 LAKESHORE RD.
