How to Choose the Right Frame

Choosing the perfect pair of frames is more than just a style decision — your glasses are a part of you. In many cases, you’ll wear them daily, so it’s essential to find frames that are comfortable, flattering, and functional.

To help you make the best choice, here’s what you should consider:


1. Type of Correction

Our lenses are crafted with the highest precision, but certain prescriptions require special attention to ensure both comfort and aesthetics.

  • For stronger prescriptions:
    Lenses may be thicker at the center, making large or oversized frames less suitable. Choosing a smaller frame helps reduce lens thickness, keeps your glasses lightweight, and improves overall comfort.

  • For multifocal or progressive lenses:
    Opt for frames that are taller in height to accommodate the different vision zones within the lens. To make it easier, we’ve pre-selected all models compatible with multifocal lenses — you can find them in our catalog under “Multifocal Lenses.”

2. Face Shape

Your face shape plays a key role in choosing frames that complement your features. A simple rule of thumb: select frames that contrast slightly with your face shape for a balanced look.

  • Round faces: Choose angular or rectangular frames to add definition.

  • Square faces: Softer, rounded frames help create balance.

  • Oval faces: Almost any frame shape works well — experiment with bold styles!

  • Heart-shaped faces: Lighter, rimless, or cat-eye frames balance wider foreheads and narrower chins.

3. Comfort and Lifestyle

Beyond looks, your frames should fit comfortably across your nose and ears, with no pressure points. Consider your daily routine — whether it’s work, sports, or screen time — and choose materials that suit your lifestyle, like lightweight acetate or durable titanium.

The Color

The color of your frames highlights your facial features and expresses your character. Whether you prefer subtle tones or bold statements, your color choice should complement both your skin tone and style.

  • Dark Frames
    Shades like black, navy blue, or anthracite gray create a strong, defined look. They stand out beautifully against most skin tones, adding sophistication and confidence.

  • Light Frames
    Softer tones such as beige, champagne, or pastel hues are more discreet, blending harmoniously with your face for a natural, refined appearance.

  • Prefer a Subtle Look?
    Choose a frame color close to your hair tone — it creates visual harmony and makes your glasses blend seamlessly with your features.

    • For light eyes, opt for cool tones like blue, green, light pink, or beige.

    • For dark eyes, warm colors like brown, navy, or burgundy create balance without overpowering your look.

  • Want to Stand Out?
    Don’t hesitate to express yourself with vibrant colors like pink, red, turquoise, or apple green. Bold hues illuminate all skin tones and add an element of creativity to your style.

    • Thinner frames add a touch of subtle flair.

    • Thicker acetate frames make a confident, fashion-forward statement.

You can also experiment with two-tone frames, patterned temples, or cut-out designs — each adds a unique touch of individuality.

The Size of Your Frames

Frame size plays a crucial role in comfort, balance, and visual performance. The right fit ensures your glasses feel great and look perfectly proportioned.

  • Total Width (Pre-Measurement):
    Measure the distance between the right and left hinges of your glasses. If you have a wider face, ensure the front width allows enough space so the frames don’t press against your temples.

  • Lens Height and Width:

    • For single-vision lenses, there’s no strict minimum height — focus on comfort and style.

    • For progressive or multifocal lenses, we recommend a minimum lens height of 35 mm to ensure smooth transitions between vision zones.

    • A wider lens provides a broader field of view, which can improve visual comfort. This measurement is always listed in each product’s details.

  • Bridge Width:
    The bridge connects the lenses over your nose. Choose a bridge width that provides a secure yet comfortable fit — not too narrow, so your glasses rest naturally without pressure.
