Th Science of Styling for Eyeglasses

Elevating your style with the perfect pair of glasses extends well beyond vision correction — some even say it’s a science. In our optical shop, we regard eyewear as an intimate accessory to your personal style and a reflection of your unique personality. While some of the following tips might sound familiar, they are foundational elements that help streamline your selection process. However, at our boutique, these principles are merely a starting point. Our dedicated team of eyewear stylists stands ready to guide you through the nuanced journey of selecting the most fitting frame to complement your features, lifestyle, and personal taste.

Here some of the aspects we must consider when styling for eyeglasses:

Face Shape: The shape of your face substantially influences which frames flatter you. For instance, angular, square glasses provide contrast and balance to round faces, whereas round or oval frames can soften square faces. Most frame shapes suit oval faces, while heart-shaped faces typically work best with bottom-heavy frames or those with lower-set temples.

Skin Tone: Skin tone is another crucial consideration. If your undertones are warm (golden, bronze, or yellow), frames in shades of brown, gold, honey, or beige often prove complementary. Conversely, if you have cool undertones (blue or pink), frames in black, silver, dark tortoise, or blue may work best for you.

Lifestyle: Your lifestyle and work environment can also shape your optimal eyewear choice. If you lead an active lifestyle, you might find flexible and durable frames most suitable. For those in corporate settings, classic styles like rimless or metal frames could be most appealing.

Personal Style: Above all, your glasses should echo your personal style. If you’re partial to a retro aesthetic, consider classic-shaped frames or those with a vintage flair. If your style leans more contemporary, minimalist designs or bold, geometric-shaped frames could be your go-to.

At Niche Nation, we’re proud to offer a curated selection of frames from leading global brands, ensuring the best of quality, durability, and style. Yet, the process of choosing the right frames is not a solitary one. Our experienced optometrists and style consultants are available to offer personalised advice, guiding you towards eyewear that will enhance your look and instill confidence.

“Choosing the perfect frames is like spotting your soulmate across the room – you just know you want to see your future with them!” says Lai, our Head of Optometrist. And we couldn’t agree more!
