How to Choose Eyeglass Frames for Your Face Shape and Lifestyle

Your glasses may be the first thing people notice about you, so it is worth choosing them with a little intention. The good news: finding flattering frames is mostly about balance and a few simple guidelines — and you do not have to figure it out alone.

Play off your face shape

The classic trick is contrast. Round faces tend to look great in angular, rectangular frames that add definition. Square faces are flattered by softer, rounder shapes. Oval faces can wear nearly anything (lucky you). Heart-shaped faces are balanced by frames that are wider at the bottom. These are starting points, not rules — the mirror always gets the final vote.

Match the frame to your life

Style is only half the story; the other half is how you live. If you are active or hard on your glasses, durable materials and a secure fit matter. If you are on screens all day, lens options matter as much as the frame. And if you spend your weekends on the water or the golf course, a great pair of prescription sunglasses earns its keep. We even carry sports-specific eyewear for the athletes and weekend warriors.

Why a second opinion helps

Our optical boutique stocks more than 700 designer frames — Maui Jim, Tom Ford, Gucci, Ray-Ban, Kate Spade, and many more — in every style and budget. Our licensed opticians do this all day and will happily narrow hundreds of options down to the handful that genuinely suit your face, your prescription, and your life.
