Wear glasses? Get Gok Wan's style tips
Style guru Gok Wan knows that glasses are a fabulous accessory and not just an optical necessity. Plus, find out how you can see Gok in action ...
Use your glasses to make a style statement, advises Gok Wan. ‘These days glasses come in so many different shapes and sizes, which can dramatically change your look. The secret is to make the most of your best features and play down your least using a combination of colour and shape. Frames, colours and styles can also reflect your personality so never be afraid to experiment.'
Gok advises how to find the right frames for you
Square face: Oval frames are best for a square face as they soften the jaw line. Avoid thin, angular styles and those with colour emphasis on the bottom rim
Round face: Angular or geometric styles are best for a round face. They draw attention to the top half of your face
Long face: A long face with high cheekbones requires wide frames with a strong top line. Avoid small, square shapes - opt for a style with all over colour
Oval face: An oval face looks great in most styles! Be adventurous and try modern geometric shapes, which are stylish and fashionable
Heart-shaped face: A heart-shaped face can wear slender, rounded or square styles without decorative detail on the temples. Avoid styles which are wider at the top, these will reflect the face shape rather than balance it
How to wear your glasses
Frames should be no higher than the line of your eyebrows. The lower edge should not sit on your cheeks - even when you smile - and the frames no wider than the width of your face at the temples
A thin or clear bridge can add width between close-set eyes and a coloured bridge will make wide-set eyes appear closer together
