How to Select
Eyeglass Frames

Find the perfect frames for your face shape, skin tone, and personal style.

Step 1

Select Frames Based on Your Coloring

The right frame color can enhance your natural features and complement your overall appearance. Consider these three key characteristics when choosing frame color.

Eye Color

Your eye color is a natural anchor for frame selection. Frames that share tones with your eyes create harmony, while contrasting colors can make your eyes pop and stand out.

Skin Tone

Warm skin tones (golden, peachy, olive) look best with warm-colored frames — tortoiseshell, gold, honey, or warm browns. Cool skin tones (pink, blue undertones) pair well with silver, black, blue, or rose frames.

Hair Color

Hair color ties your look together. Dark hair suits bold or contrasting frames. Blonde hair pairs beautifully with lighter or warm-toned frames. Red hair looks striking with earth tones, tortoiseshell, or green.

Step 2

Select Frames for Your Face Shape

The shape of your frames should complement — and often contrast — your face shape for the most balanced, flattering look.

Oval Face

Lucky you — most frame shapes work well. Try bold rectangular or geometric frames to showcase your balanced proportions.

Round Face

Angular or rectangular frames add definition and make the face appear longer and slimmer. Avoid round or small frames.

Square Face

Round or oval frames soften strong jawlines and angular features. Rimless or thin frames also work beautifully.

Heart Face

Frames wider at the bottom (aviators, round) balance a wider forehead. Light-colored or rimless frames minimize the upper face.

Diamond Face

Oval or rimless frames complement high cheekbones. Frames with detailing on the brow line draw attention upward.

Oblong Face

Wide frames with decorative temples add width. Avoid narrow or small frames that make the face appear longer.
