How To Rock Oversized Frames If You Have A Petite Face

If you have a petite face, oversized frames can balance proportions and make your face appear longer. But not all frames will work for every face shape. Here's how to find the perfect pair for you:
Oversized frames are a great way to play up your eyes and make them appear bigger. That's because they draw attention to the area around your eyes, which means that people will notice how big they are!
To make sure that oversized frames will look good on you, you'll want to find frames that match up with the width of your face and the distance between your eyes. The size of the frame should also be proportional to the length of your nose—if it's too short, then it can make you look like an alien or give off a bad impression.
Round, oval, rectangular, and square frames are the safest bets for petite faces. Avoid triangular frames like cat-eye glasses; they’re simply too dramatic for your face shape. Look for a pair with minimal detailing like a thin line across the top or bottom of the frame—this will help balance out your features and keep from making you look like a cartoon character. Also, avoid bright colors (like yellow) or over-the-top embellishment on your glasses; these details just won't work with your petite features either!
For best results, try on several different styles of frames to find the right fit. If you aren't sure what size you're looking for, look at a mirror and ask yourself if the frames are too big or too small for your face.
If possible, head to a local optician or vision center for an eye exam and fitting. This will help ensure that your new glasses actually improve vision and don't just make it appear better from afar. It's also important to work with an experienced technician who can guide you through finding frames that best suit your face shape without compromising comfort or functionality (for example, getting titanium temples instead of plastic).
In the same way that you can get more mileage out of a classic style by adding a new color, shape, or material, you can also play with trends to make oversized frames look unique on a petite face. For example:
Proportions are the size and shape of a person's face, head, and body. Since the average size of an adult human skull is bigger than that of an infant, it makes sense that average-sized frames might be more flattering on people with larger heads. For example, people with petite faces tend to have smaller proportions overall compared to those with bigger faces. Oversized frames will help even out these differences by adding some much-needed bulk to your head area—and making your face look slightly proportionate!
Oversized frames can be a great way to balance the proportions of your face. If you have a petite face and are looking for a style that will make it appear larger and more proportional, try a frame that’s larger than average. They won’t overwhelm your features like smaller frames might, but instead will balance them out by bringing attention to other areas such as cheekbones or jawline.

Vicci™ Eyewear was inspired by a son’s love for his mother and his passion for fashion.
David Abramovici, the Founder of Vicci™ Eyewear, came from a family of artisans dedicated to craftsmanship since the 1920s.
David recalls that when his mother was around 65 years old, she would always ask him to stop by the local pharmacy to pick up some generic readers.
He would spend at least 20 minutes every time he went there, just standing in front of a rack full of tacky, ugly readers. It was difficult for him to choose a "nice" design that he thought would look good on his mother.
His mother enjoyed attending events and spending money on her dresses and accessories. Unfortunately, the readers are often underwhelming, and she was embarrassed to ever be seen wearing them. Like most women, she'd usually hide it in her lovely purse and would always look around before using them to read the menu or bill.
David wondered why there weren’t more choices for high-quality and fashionable custom readers for older women like his mother. Something she’d actually love to wear and be proud to be seen wearing.
And that’s when it hit him!
