Designer Glasses Frames for the Buffalo, NY Area!

When you're choosing new designer glasses, you have endless possibilities in terms of frame shape, color, and style. You choice will depend on your individual face shape, as well as your style preferences and skin tone. Use the following guidelines for face shape as you make your decision:

• Oval Shape: Oval faces fit with most frame shapes. Their long, rounded shape can fit with almost any style, particularly wide, oversized options. If you're going for a bold style, why not choose a bright or bold color? Have some fun with your selection!
• Square Shape: Square faces are characterized by angular features with wide foreheads and jaws. Choose a rounded frame, such as a circular or oval design, to add softness to your face.
• Round Shape: Round faces feature smooth jawlines and soft curves, with a face that is approximately the same width from the brow to the jaw. If you have full cheeks and a rounded chin, consider frames that work to add angles. Rectangular, geometric, and cat-eye frames work very well with rounded faces.
• Heart Shape: Heart-shaped faces have wide foreheads and angular chins. They work best with wide selections such as winged-out frames, bottom-heavy options, or oval-shaped frames. These add balance to your face and draw the eye away from your more prominent features.
• Triangle Shape: If your face has a narrow forehead and a wide, square jawline, you want glasses that are bold on top and lighter on the bottom. Aviators or cat-eye styles are very popular with triangular faces. Round styles also work well, as they add contrast to angular features. Look for wide frames to help the top of your face look broader.
• Diamond Shape: Diamond-shaped faces are the rarest found on the market. They tend to have narrow foreheads, angular jawlines, and prominent cheekbones. The best designer glasses for diamond-shaped faces are rimless or oval frames with a strong brow line. Play with styles such as cat-eye or horn rim to help balance your face, but keep them relatively delicate to avoid overdoing it.
