Ever put on a pair of glasses that look great on someone else, only to find they don’t quite suit your face? That’s because the shape of your face plays a huge role in how different eyeglass frames will look and feel.
At Bling Eyewear, we love helping our patients from Cranston and East Providence find frames that don’t just fit but flatter. With a curated selection of designer frames and an expert team that takes the time to understand your preferences and prescription needs, we are here to guide you through it all with a personalized touch you won’t find in big-box stores.
1. Trends and Your Personal Style
It’s tempting to go straight for whatever’s trending—but the best glasses for your face shape also need to reflect your own personality. Bold, chunky frames might suit someone who loves to stand out, while someone else may prefer a more classic, rimless option.
At Bling Eyewear, we carry everything from Gucci to Tom Ford, so you’re never short on choices. We also carry different frame materials and lens options.
We’ll ask a few easy questions to get a sense of your lifestyle and how you use your glasses—whether they’re for work, driving, or reading. That way, your frames do more than match your look—they match your life.
2. Frame Styles for Different Face Shapes
When it comes to choosing the best eyewear frames for your face shape, balance is key. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you narrow down what might work:
- Oval Face: Most styles work well. Square, round, or cat-eye frames all complement this balanced shape.
- Round Face: Angular or rectangular frames can add definition to your face. Avoid overly round styles that can make your face appear even more round.
- Square Face: Round or oval eyeglass frames soften strong jawlines and sharper features.
- Heart-Shaped Face: Bottom-heavy frames or light-colored designs help balance a wider forehead and narrower chin.
- Diamond Face: Rimless or oval glasses can soften cheekbones and highlight your eyes.
Are you unsure which category your face fits into? We’ll walk you through it during your next appointment.
3. Eyebrow Shape and Colors
Your eyebrows are a natural frame for your eyes, so your glasses should complement, not clash with, them. Ideally, the top of your frames should follow the natural arch of your brow. If your brows are straight and low, avoid frames that are too high or curved.
Color also plays a significant role. Warm-toned skin often pairs well with earthy colors, such as brown, gold, or olive. Cooler skin tones might lean toward silver, black, or blue. We’ll help you match both your coloring and your brow line, so your glasses look seamless and intentional.
4. How Different Frame Shapes Work with Your Prescription
High prescriptions can sometimes mean thicker lenses—but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with clunky frames. Thinner, high-index lenses have come a long way, and with the right eyeglass frames for your face types, your look stays sleek and lightweight. If you have a strong prescription, we’ll steer you toward smaller, well-centered frames to keep everything in proportion.
Bifocal or multifocal lenses? We’ve got frames that work for those, too. Our opticians are trained to help you find styles that blend function with comfort, so you don’t have to compromise.
