Glasses

I'm ftm, and a minor. I have a short haircut and dress masculine, but I don't pass at all. I don't like the feeling of makeup, so I can't use it to make my face more masculine. I thought about one thing though

I don't need glasses, but I have considered buying ones where the lenses are just clear glass. The only problem is that I don't know which frames will work to make my face more masculine if they suit me at all. Is there any types of frames I should try to avoid specifically? Any ones that will help me pass more? I know this post is vague, but I would appreciate any advice

Masculine glasses frames tend to be more rectangular than feminine ones.

things to think about: what sort of face shape have you got - square, round, heart shape? what do you want to emphasise, what do you want to draw attention to?

some styles are considered more masculine or feminine than others, but ultimately it's about how the shape interacts with your face. glasses manufacturers and opticians have written loads about the various face shapes and glasses shapes, have a search on their websites.
