Which frame shapes suit my face?

“Which frame shapes suit my face best?”

Scroll below for our top suggestions, but the real answer is “you will never really know until you try them on!” We have had clients who swear they cannot wear a square or a round frame and find themselves surprised and walk out with several pair. So have fun! Come into midtown Manhattan and try on Nouvelle Chicane at Charlotte Jones Opticians

In general, frames will work in concert with your face size and shape. Do you have a different shaped face than mentioned below? We will figure it out. DM us on instagram.

Scroll down to see the frames and face combinations we discovered work so well with our designs,

If you have a round face, we suggest rectangular or square shaped frames.

For a more square or rectangular face use rounder frames like the classic Presto. However rectangular frames such as the Forte accentuate the strength of the square and rectangular face.

Diamond shape faces can work with both. For the bold we suggest L’Orbitalli There is also the Nocturne which is also beautiful on square and rectangular faces.

Nouvelle Chicane has purposely developed a frame that can complement both, for example the Mezzo

We have some great examples of how these compliment various faces we have worked with during our product development. The best way to pick frames is to come try them on your face, get the comfort, the feel and the reaction. There is no reason to commit to one shape of frame. We suggest you mix it up, like Grace has bellow. Bring a friend to Charlotte’s, who wants to see you at your best and explore your options!
