Finding Your Frame Fit

Your face shape plays a major role in determining the glasses that will look best on you. By choosing frames that complement your natural contours, you’ll not only look great but also feel confident and comfortable. Here are some tips tailored to various face shapes:

  • For round faces, angular frame recommendations help to add definition. Consider geometric frame shapes or rectangular frames for round faces.
  • If you have a square face, round and oval frames add a soft touch and can provide a pleasing contrast. Look for round glasses for square faces or try upswept frames for an elegant lift.
  • Those with oval faces can enjoy a wide range of styles, but square or rectangular frames add a structured element to your look.
  • For heart-shaped faces, frames that are wider at the bottom help balance the face, such as thin or light-colored styles that don’t overpower the top half of your face.

Express Yourself with Color and Detail

The color and design of your frames are where you can really let your personality shine. Here’s how you can match frame colors and embellishments with your style:

  1. Bold and vibrant frame colors are perfect for those who love to stand out and make a statement. Don’t shy away from patterns or unique textures that can add an extra pop to your look.
  2. Neutral frame colors, like black, brown, or grey, are versatile and ideal for a sophisticated, understated style. They’re also workplace-friendly for those seeking a professional edge.
  3. If you appreciate vintage charm, opt for classic black and tortoiseshell frames, which can add a touch of timeless elegance to any outfit.
  4. For a trendy touch, consider two-tone frame options or details like embellishments and cutouts, which can add a modern flair to your eyewear.
