Frames

Choosing Frames That Flatter

The right frames will suit your personality, appearance, and lifestyle. Use these pointers to find your perfect match.

Face Shape DO DON’T
Oval Wear almost any style. Wear geometric shapes.
Round Wear geometric shapes. Wear round glasses.
Tapered, Heart Wear rimless or minimalist styles. Wear big, bold styles.
Square Wear round or rimless styles. Wear angular or square styles.

Skin Tone, Hair Color, and Eye Color

  • Those with bronze, golden, or peach skin tones look best in warm colors, such as brown, tortoise, gold, bronze, copper, red, or coral.
  • Silver, pewter, pink, blue, violet, or black frames look best on those with cool (blue or pink) undertones.
  • Those with darker skin tones should try brighter, bolder, or richer hues.
  • Those with lighter skin tones should look for lighter shades.
  • Similar guidelines apply for the warmth or coolness of your hair color when choosing frames.
  • Consider your eye color, and choose frames that complement your eyes and don't overpower them.

Lifestyle

On the Go

If you lead an active life, you might want to consider some of our more durable frames, such as sports glasses. Try wraparound styles, eyewear with shields, or models that help provide eye protection. Many styles are made specifically for certain sports or activities. Impact-resistant lenses** protect eyes, while polarized lenses help reduce glare. Browse our selection online, or visit us at your local store to find eyewear that fits properly and meets your specific needs.

** No lenses are shatterproof or unbreakable.

Computer Savvy

Frequent computer users might want to consider computer glasses to reduce eye strain. Computer lenses fit in almost any frame style and can help reduce the constant refocusing that occurs when you are looking at a computer screen for long periods of time. You also might want to try eyeglasses with a larger frame area for easier monitor viewing. We can help you choose the best eyewear for your level of computer use.

Personal Style

Designer Brands

From sophisticated and cool to relaxed and casual, your frames express your personality. Why shouldn't your glasses fit your style, too? Choose from dozens of designer brands, fashion collections, and private-label brands, and let your sense of individuality shine.
