Glasses are an amazing to add interest, detail, and dimension to your face. Aaron Marino of alpha m. will help you pick the perfect frames for your face shape. Glasses are a super cool accessory that you can wear on your face. The downside is that they can be crazy expensive.

Alpha's first pair was $700! Now with the Internet, you can cut out the middle man and get a better deal. Alpha has partnered with Glasses USA for 70% off retail prices with free basic prescription. Basic glasses start around $48!

Guidelines When Selecting Frames

What is your face shape? Heart / diamond, round, square, and oval are the type of facial shapes. Alpha presents and discusses the following cheat sheet to help you assess your face shape.

The proportion (size) of the frames that you are wearing need to balance (face and frame) unlike face shape that contrast. Aaron illustrates the rules-of-thumb for frames for specific face shapes with examples as well as demonstrates balancing proportion:

Round faces need frames that are wider than tall to elongate your face

Square faces / jaw need rounder and softer frames to lengthened and soften the natural angularity

Oval shapes need symmetrical and not too structure frames to maintain natural balance

Heart / diamond shaped face can get away with pretty much anything

Always has great vision all my life and now, 31 going on 32, my sight is starting to fade. More so in my right eye and it’s becoming more noticeable lately. Making an eye appointment in two week to get a prescription and I’m so overwhelmed by the decision on frames. Your video gave me a little perspective into what to expect. Thanks. And wish me luck lol

[dooovde]

"They're symmetrical", yeah, like every single pair of glasses available to buy unless you're wearing something like Elton John has!

Bottom line:

If you stay in-shape & have a thin face with a decent jawline, you should be able to pull off all the cool, high quality brands like Ray Ban & Oakley.

My eyes are super sensitive to sunlight, so I need some glasses. Thanks for the walk through. Luckily I am heart/diamond shaped, so I can pull off the ones I want. Always wondered what oval glasses would look like, I don't see them too often, but always liked them.

[bigsexy]

OH MY GOSH, ALpha! Thank you so much for doing a video on glasses! I have to wear glasses and was freaking out that i was only limited to Erkel style glasses! These are badass! Much Love- from Cali!

[B-Reel]

I have never been able to choose a good pair of glasses until I saw this after nearly 20 years of wearing them. Thank you

[deadeyenic]

I just got glasses and cant tell if im a oval or heart/ diamond, which one do you think i should go for

[fredca]

Aron, your videos are grate. Thanks for everything. I have one doubt, though. I am between two Ray-Ban frames. The RB 5287 2000 (black piano) and the RB 5287 2012 (tortoise). My fear is that the tortoise one is too informal. But it is kind of different, which is nice. What do you think? Keep going with the great work, you are awesome :D
