The frame shape should contrast slightly with the face shape:
It is not generally recommended to put a round frame on a
round face, a square frame on a square face, etc. However, style is truly a
personal expression and there really is not a right or wrong by today's high
fashion, but we will make sure that the functionality of your eyewear is not
compromised by your taste, but rather copacetic.
-
The frame size should be proportionately balanced to the size of your face:
Generally speaking, your eye should be in the center of the
frame, from the left & right. Again, functionality plays a key role in this
selection as frame cosmetics can be for naught if the lens looks bad, or you can
not see properly.
-
Eyewear should accentuate your best, or specific features:
Example; If you have grayish to white hair, stay away from silver
frames. The contrast will give you the appearance of 'Muddy' gray hair, while a
gunmetal, Dull Gray, or black color frame will highlight just the silver
color of your hair affording the luxury of a very distinguished appearance.
-
Frame quality:
Frames should compliment one's personality and/or desired
image, as well as their ophthalmic requirements. There are many choices in life
that will require educated decisions, or to trust one who's education and
experience is in your field of need. Quality of a specific product is one of
them. There are many avenues of which one can save on the cost of a frame,
without loss, or too much loss of quality, and the challenging aspect which we
excel in, is finding that happy medium. Our job, and yours, will be to find that
'perfect' fit; not just on the face, but in the pocketbook as well. In regards
to frame lines, higher quality frames actually cost much less in a long run, because
they last, look, and feel better longer, and they are specifically designed with
specialelements that best suit ones needs.
