Fashion – like beauty! — is in the eyes of the beholder.
Style is a reflection of one’s personality , so don’t feel limited by the guidelines presented here. But we think you’ll find this is a great place to start!
| 1 Oval | 2 Round | 3 Square | 4 Oblong |
|---|---|---|---|
| Look for diamond or rectangular shapes | Look for frames that lengthen the face | Look for styles that soften angles | Look for frames that have depth |
Styles come and go, but there are basic guidelines that seem to always hold true. Our Frame Consultants and Opticians will gladly share their wealth of experience in frame selection, based on your cosmetic, lifestyle and ophthalmic needs.

It is not generally recommended to put a round glasses frame on a round face, a square frame on a square face, etc. However, style is truly a personal expression and there really is no right or wrong when it comes to fashion. We will make sure that the functionality of your eyewear is not compromised by but compatible with your choice in eyeglass frames.
Generally speaking, your eye should be in the center of the glasses frame, from the left & right. Again, functionality plays a key role in this selection, since aesthetics don’t matter much if you can’ t see properly.
For example, if you have grayish or white hair, you’ll want to stay away from silver eyeglass frames. The lack of contrast will give you the appearance of “muddy” gray hair . Consider instead a gunmetal gray, or black frame, to accentuate the silver of your hair for an appealing contrast.
On the other hand, if you have beautiful blue eyes, you may find that glasses frames containing a hint of blue are particularly flattering and really accentuate your eye color.
