Struggling with self-esteem and confidence is not an easy cross to bear. Questioning your looks, your choices, and even your life decisions can be debilitating and depressing – wearing prescription glasses can sometimes increase those insecurities tenfold.
Instead of hiding away from the world, embrace your uniqueness and take the bull by the horns. Turn wearing glasses into your superpower, it may just unlock your confidence in a way you never imagined.
Men get a lot of slack for being arrogant, but the truth is that some men are so painfully insecure that it hinders them from progressing in life. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way.
Below are five tips for wearing your new glasses with confidence:
Choose the Right Frames
Buying glasses isn’t rocket science, but it can be overwhelming because there are so many different options available. Frames come in thousands of different styles, brands, colors, and prices – the trick is choosing the one that suits you on every level.
Rope a friend in to join you, that way you won’t have to cave under the pressure of self-doubt. Spend time trying on a few different options, that way you can be confident with your final decision.
Face Shape
A secret trick to buying glasses that suit you is to shop for frames according to the size and shape of your face. Many studies have shown that scientifically, you are infinitely more attractive and likable with glasses – but only if they suit you.
An easy way to choose the right frame shape is to contrast your face shape with your new glasses. If you have an angular face, choose frames with rounded edges – likewise, if your face is round then you need frames that are structured and angular.
Walk with Confidence
We’ve all heard of the saying that you “fake it until you make it” and never has there been a situation more suited to that little gem of advice. Walk tall, back straight, and shoulders down – the world can be your oyster if people believe you deserve it.
Walking with confidence can make you seem like a hotter person, worthy of praise and adoration. Boost your confidence levels to new levels by snapping on some clip-on sunglasses and strut your way down that street – you deserve it.
Psychological Color Wheel
When choosing the color of your frames, you have two main options. Firstly, try match the frame color to the color of your eyes – that will make them both pop, and you’ll look like a million dollars.
The other option is to use a psychological color wheel to project the vibe you want. Red is power; blue is calming; orange is confidence – and so on. That is a riskier choice because your frame color needs to suit your skin tone, so choose carefully.
Embrace Your Inner Intellectual
Lastly, instead of cowering in a corner because your eyes aren’t as great at working as they should be – embrace your inner intellectual. It’s a fact that glasses make people look smarter. Your intelligence only adds to your sex appeal and creativity levels, making you that much more attractive to others.
The right prescription glasses can be essential to looking and feeling good. Not only do they provide the necessary vision correction, but they can also be a great fashion accessory. With the right prescription, you can be sure that you’ll be able to see clearly, and with the right style, you can look great too. It’s important to find the perfect balance between the two so that you can be comfortable and stylish in your eyewear. With the right prescription and the right style, you can look and feel your best.
