Ask us to direct you to styles that tend to draw attention up to the forehead and temples.
Does your skin have a warm BRONZED, PEACH or GOLDEN tone?
Gravitate toward brown, gold, copper, tortoise-shell, coral and red frames.
Does your skin have a cool PINK tone?
Consider black, pink, blue, lavender or silver frames.
Are you LIGHT-SKINNED?
Light shades of color will probably be more flattering than darker shades.
Are you DARK-SKINNED?
You should be able to handle richer, brighter shades of color.
If your hair has a COOL shade of color…
As with cool skin tones, consider black, pink, blue, lavender or silver frames.
If your hair has a WARM color…
As with warm skin tones, consider brown, gold, copper, tortoise-shell, coral and red frames.
Is eye color important to you? If it is, make sure that the color of the frame doesn’t upstage the color of your eyes.
Does a particular COLOR PALLETTE dominate your wardrobe?
Keep it in mind when you choose a frame color.
Have NEUTRAL COLORS, like beige, taupe, brown, grey or black taken over your closet?
A colorful frame may be just what you need to brighten up your look!
Your wardrobe probably consists of clothing appropriate for a variety of occasions and activities. Why not have a wardrobe of eyeglasses, too?
Are you into SPORTS ?
Ask us about sports frames and lenses that are durable and provide appropriate protection for your eyes. The variety of special features now available may surprise you!
How much time do you spend using a COMPUTER?
If you spend hours a day looking at a computer monitor, a frame that will accommodate larger-than-average lenses may make that view a little easier on the eyes.
Are you a “FASHIONISTA”?
If fashion is an important part of your life, you will want to take a look at our collection of the latest designer frames before making your decision.
What are the advantages of choosing a PLASTIC frame?
Plastic makes it possible to offer the colorful, textured or patterned frames many of us like. For the most part, high-quality plastic frames are sturdy but lightweight. The low-quality plastics used in the manufacture of “bargain” glasses sold by discount optical outlets are often less durable. As with many other purchases, you usually get what you pay for, which makes it important to deal with an optical shop that will stand by the quality of the frames it sells.
What about METAL frames?
If you want lightweight durability, take a look at our selection of metal frames. Titanium and stainless steel are hypoallergenic and particularly light but strong. If you require thick lenses, you should consider a titanium frame. Some people like the additional comfort of the nose pads available with a metal frame.
