Are you in love with online shopping? Maybe it’s the massive discounts or the convenience of not having to leave your couch. Or, maybe you just love effortlessly scrolling through hundreds of products.
Trying on glasses at home is easy, comfortable, and convenient! Here are some top tips to help you find glasses that fit well and look great.
Try on In-Store, Buy With Massive Savings Online
Online shopping can equal big discounts. Online shops often offer great deals on eyewear. Take EZContacts, for example. There are massive discounts across designer brands (not just in the clearance section). There’s also price matching and year-round seasonal sales.
But the dilemma is, what if your glasses don’t fit, or what if you don’t like them? That’s where trying them on can make all the difference.
So, why not try on a variety in store, see which ones you love, then find them online for a fraction of the price!
Use a Virtual Tool to Try on Glasses at Home
If your closest eyewear store is miles away or you simply don’t want to spend hours discussing your needs with a sales associate, there’s another way.
Thanks to tech and AI, it’s easier than ever to picture yourself in glasses online. How, you might be wondering? First of all, you could take a picture of yourself and a screenshot of the glasses you like online. Then, ask an AI (like ChatGPT) to create an image of you wearing them. It really can be that easy!
EZContacts has also implemented a helpful virtual try-on tool called Fittingbox! It does it all for you; all you have to do is upload a photo of yourself or take a live one, and then it will create an image of you in your chosen glasses.
You can see which glasses have the ‘try on’ feature by using the filter on the left-hand side of the eyewear page.
Buy Glasses Online To Try on at Home
If you want to see your glasses in person, feel the quality, and try them to see how they fit, you could have them delivered to your home. If you don’t like them or they don’t fit, you can just return or exchange them!
Make sure to double-check the store’s return/exchange policy before you do this. Some stores might have different regulations or might want certain products returned unopened. You may also have to pay to return your order, which is also a consideration.
EZContacts has a pretty lenient return and exchange policy; you can return your glasses for 30 days for free. Just make sure to include all the accessories the glasses came with. You can find all the details here. If you have questions about a product or the return process, reach out to customer service.
Narrowing Down Your Options of Which Glasses to Try
When you go to the store, you usually have a sales assistant to ask for advice about styles, shapes, and brands.
Online, that’s not really the case. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming to choose which glasses to try on or order for home delivery.
Start by using the filters
First, make sure to filter by items that are in-stock.
Then, you can filter by frame size, shape, color, brand, and even the material of the frames. Finally, you can filter by price so you can find glasses within your budget.
Try on your favorite pairs virtually
If you’ve decided to try on your glasses virtually, try a variety of styles and shapes to get a feel for what suits you. The Fittingbox feature is fast and easy to use. You can even compare styles side by side.
All you have to do is take a screenshot of yourself in each style and open them side by side.
Dare I say it might even be better than trying glasses on in person?
Order a couple of pairs to choose your favorite
If it’s possible to make easy returns, you could buy a couple of pairs of glasses and return the one you don’t love. Or you could keep both! It’s always good to have a collection that features different styles for different moods and outfits.
In case you are looking for a few pairs, try on a variety of brands. It’s a good way to understand which would work best for you.
What To Look Out For When You Try on Glasses at Home
So you’re trying on your glasses virtually or at home, how do you know they’re the right pair for you? Here’s what to look out for.
Fit is everything!
While you can’t physically feel your glasses when you try them on virtually, you can check the proportions.
Make sure they’re wide enough by checking that the glasses’ edges reach the edge of your face. Also, consider the frame’s size and shape. Do they flatter your features? Do they look too big or too small?
If you’ve ordered your glasses to try on at home, check that they don’t slide down your nose. Make sure they’re not too tight, as this can cause pressure on your temples. Also, make sure that the glasses sit straight and don’t feel tilted or imbalanced.
Do you like the color or print?
When scrolling endless pages of glasses online, it’s easy to stop seeing the differences. But look out for colors and prints that complement your face, including your hair and eye color. You’re less likely to return them!
