What's the best frame shape for my face - Part 2

Finding the best frame for you takes some work. 

In the last post, we went through some basic guidelines on frame size relative to your face. Now, let's move on to frame shape. 

You can wear more than one shape.  Really. 
Even if you believe you can only wear one shape, not every frame in that shape will be right for you.


Many thanks to Carolyn Snell for being our guinea pig for this post. She is living proof that there is not just one shape for you. She is lovely, talented and beautiful!
This is a fabulous shape! Current without being too trendy. Gesse by Jason Wu.


One of our pretty new striped custom frames. Good proportion, color, shape.
Again, Carolyn still looks good in this matte frame which is a more geeky square shape. Btw, it's made in the USA. 
A good rectangular shape. Maybe a tad too dark and heavy. But the shape is good.


The shape is fine, but can you see this is just too much color and contrast? All I see is glasses.



Here's a much bigger geekier cat eye. Cute, but much more of a statement. Christa by Jason Wu. His clothes are awesome, but so are his glasses.


Just so you don't think Carolyn looks good in EVERYTHING, here's a fail!
But really the big problem is the fit. She could probably wear this shape in a smaller size.



There are a lot of small details in frames that can make a frame succeed or fail for you. We're always happy to help you figure it out.  Drop in and have some fun.
