01 — Start with the look

Which frame feels most like you?

Use these style directions as a starting point. You do not need to follow a rule—the right frame is the one you feel best wearing.

01

Sharp and structured

Clean angles create definition and a confident, modern silhouette.

Look for Rectangular or angular frames
02

Soft and balanced

Rounded lines feel approachable and understated while still giving the face a clear frame.

Look for Rounded or gently curved frames
03

Warm and relaxed

Tortoiseshell and translucent tones soften the overall look and add character without feeling loud.

Look for Warm, translucent or tonal frames
04

Bold and expressive

A stronger silhouette or distinctive lens colour turns eyewear into the focal point of the outfit.

Look for Thicker profiles or statement lenses

02 — Face shape

A useful starting point, never a strict rule.

Frame contrast can help create balance, but personal style and fit matter more than following a formula.

Round face

Create contrast

Structured rectangular or angular frames can add definition and balance softer contours.

Oval face

Choose by personality

Most silhouettes tend to work well. Focus on whether you want the frame to feel quiet, classic or more expressive.

Square or angular face

Add softness

Rounded edges, warmer colours and translucent materials can soften stronger facial angles.

Heart-shaped face

Create balance

Look for frames that feel substantial without overwhelming the narrower lower half of the face.

03 — Understand the lenses

Choose protection first, then choose the experience.

Protection

UV400

Designed to block UVA and UVB light up to 400 nm. This should be the starting point for every pair you choose.

Everyday sun

Category 2

A versatile tint for moderate sunlight and day-to-day wear when conditions are bright but not extreme.

Brighter conditions

Category 3

A darker tint suited to stronger sunlight, holidays and brighter outdoor conditions.

Versatility

Adaptive lenses

Colour-changing lenses respond to light conditions, offering a more adaptable experience throughout the day.

04 — Check the fit

Three things to look for when trying on a frame.

01

Frame width

The outer edges should sit comfortably around the widest part of your face without squeezing at the temples.

02

Bridge position

The frame should feel secure on your nose without leaving excessive pressure or constantly sliding down.

03

Everyday comfort

Move your head, smile and look down. The best frame should stay secure and feel natural throughout the day.
