When picking your designer frames there are a few things to look out for to make sure you are picking the right frames for you. Buying designer glasses are an investment, and like any investment you need to ask yourself some important questions. Here are five questions to ask yourself when shopping for designer frames:

1. Will these frames fit my prescription?

If you have a stronger eyeglass prescription, your lenses will be thicker, especially around the edges. Keeping this in mind, avoid frames that are thinner such as wire frames which can look unflattering with a thick lens. Instead, choose frames that are heftier such as plastic frames, which can disguise the thickness of the lens.

2. Do these frames suit my face shape?

There are five main categories of face shapes from square, round, heart, triangular and oval. Although you may love a specific brand, try to keep an open mind to simply picking a frame that complements your face, regardless of the designer. For instance, round faces are complemented with square glasses, while heart shaped faces are complemented by cat-eye glasses.

3. What is the best material for my glasses?

Depending on your lifestyle, allergies or just personal preference, the material of your frames are important. Certain materials can elevate your glasses which is why it is important to pick the material that caters to your needs. If you are someone who loves metal frames, titanium is an amazing lightweight, strong and durable option. However, if you prefer plastic frames, cellulose acetate may work for you. Ask our team about the different materials each frame is made of and we can help you choose the right one!

4. What do you think about these frames?

Sometimes deciding on what frames to choose can be difficult. Before buying your frames ask others for a second opinion. They can help give you advice, insight and suggestions about what frames best suit you.

5. Do these frames suit my personality?

Your frames should show off your personality. When selecting frames always consider your personal style, how you like to express yourself and what colours and patterns work for you. At the end of the day, no matter your face shape, you should pick frames that you feel comfortable and confident in!
