Glasses frames for girls: styles that suit every face

By the team at Babar Homeopathic Clinic & EyeBar OpticalPublished 3 October 20265 min read

Which frame is best for girls?

There is no single best frame. The right one depends on three things in this order: fit, face shape and the lens you need. A frame that fits badly will slide, pinch or leave marks, however stylish it looks. So start with size, then choose the shape, then the colour.

If you have never worn glasses, have your eyes checked first. At EyeBar Optical the computerized eye test is free, and your number decides how thick the lens will be, which changes which frames will look good.

How to choose a frame for your face shape

The rule is contrast. Pick a frame that is the opposite of your face outline.

• Round face: square, rectangular or gentle cat eye frames add definition. Avoid small round frames.
• Oval face: most shapes work. Keep the frame as wide as the widest part of the face.
• Square face: round and oval frames soften a strong jaw.
• Heart-shaped face: light, thin or rimless frames balance a wider forehead.
• Long face: deep frames with a bold top line shorten the face.

For a chubby or round face, choose a frame with clear corners that is slightly wider than the cheekbones. The full advice, with a tool that recommends shapes, is in which glasses suit my face.

What frame size should a girl wear?

Look inside the arm of any frame and you will find three numbers such as 50 □ 17 140. They are lens width, bridge width and arm length in millimetres. Teenage girls and women with small faces usually fit a lens width of 46 to 50 mm. Medium faces fit 50 to 52 mm.

Which frame colour suits which skin tone?

• Fair skin: black, navy, wine and tortoise give contrast. Rose gold is soft.
• Wheatish skin: gold, brown tortoise, olive and clear frames look warm.
• Darker skin: gold, clear, bright colours and bold black stand out well.

If you want one frame for everything, a transparent or thin gold frame is the safest choice. For college and office, black and tortoise never look out of place.

Glasses for girls with a high number

A minus lens is thick at the edge, and the thickness grows with the width of the lens. Three choices keep the glasses light and neat:

1. Choose a smaller lens width. A 48 mm lens is far thinner at the edge than a 54 mm lens of the same number.
2. Choose a full-rim acetate frame, which hides the edge.
3. Ask for a higher lens index such as 1.61 or 1.67.

You can compare edge thickness for your own number with the lens thickness calculator. Oversized and rimless frames suit low numbers best.

Which frame is trending now?

Thin metal rounds in gold, transparent acetate, soft cat eyes and slightly oversized squares are the shapes most asked for by college students. Trends change every year, though, and a frame is worn for two years or more. A shape that suits your face will still look right when the trend has passed.

Metal or plastic: which material is better?

Girls with a low nose bridge are usually more comfortable in metal frames with adjustable nose pads, because the frame can be lifted off the cheeks.

Which lenses should go in the frame?

Students who read and use a phone for hours often ask for blue cut lenses. The evidence that they reduce eye strain is limited, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology does not recommend them for computer use. An anti-glare coating and an up-to-date number do more. Compare the options in blue cut vs anti-glare vs photochromic and read about lens types.
