We agree, it's always very complicated to find the right pair of glasses. We spend hours trying everything on, trying to find which pair will best match our personality. Is it better to opt for originality or wear a more discreet lightweight frame?
For some of us, glasses are part of our identity, so we can't go wrong!
Today we explain how to choose the right vintage frame!
The size guide
First clue, you have to look at the size guide if you can't come and try them on. This will give you a first idea of the dimensions of the frame, vintage glasses have multiple sizes, round, square, oversized, small, light, it is better to read the description to be convinced that it is this vintage pair that we need!
But don't panic, if you order a pair on the site that doesn't fit you, you can return it for free if you live in France.
Face shape
Depending on the shape of your face, some frames will certainly suit you better than others. If you have an angular face: triangular, diamond-shaped or square, opt instead for aviator, oval or round frames. For more harmony with the shape of your face, butterfly, rectangular or square frames are also appropriate.
For round faces, rectangular, cat-eye or butterfly frames are a great choice!
The colors of glasses that will suit you best
Like Beyoncé, do you have warm undertones?
If you prefer metal frames, we recommend glasses in gold, bronze or rose gold. If you prefer acetate or nylon frames, we recommend glasses in Havana and gold colors.
If you have dark hair, opt for autumnal colours (fir green, saffron yellow, wine lees). If you have light hair, opt for spring colours (pink, turquoise, parma).
Like Bradley Cooper, do you have a cool undertone?
If you prefer metal frames, we recommend silver, steel or black glasses. If you prefer acetate or nylon frames, we recommend black or dark glasses which will give you a particularly flattering result.
If you have dark hair, opt for winter colors (Klein blue, black, burgundy). If you have light hair, opt for summer colors (candy pink, duck blue, purple).
