Step 1
Pick conservative neutral tones like silver, brown or burgundy for your eye glass frames if you're a business person. You want a more conservative frame style that generates a feeling of confidence and trust in you.

Step 2
Define your lifestyle and figure out how you will use your eye glasses. A creative person like an artist can get away with the more wacky styles and colors available. If you're an athletic person, then you should choose eye glasses with shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses that are also polarized to help reduce glare.

Step 3
Determine your face shape, since it's a big factor on the style of eye glasses that will look best on you. Face shapes can be divided into seven general categories: oval/hexagon, heart/triangle, round, square, teardrop, diamond, and oblong/rectangle. You can always ask one of the staff to help you find glasses to suit your face shape once you've determined what it is.

Step 4
Consider your coloring. Eye, skin and hair color need to be considered if you want a pair of glasses that will flatter. Generally, people with warm skin coloring should go for soft and low key eye glass colors. Cool skin coloring, which is skin with a bluish tinge as opposed to a yellow tinge, can get away with bolder and darker colors.

Step 5
Check facial and earpiece fittings when you think you've found a pair that matches your lifestyle, your face shape and your coloring. It won't help you much to have a pair that doesn't fit comfortable regardless of how great they look. Get the optician to adjust them. If adjustments don't work, then you may need to start your search all over again.
