Expert tips

Choosing the right pair of glasses isn't just about comfort and usability - it's also important that your glasses look good as well. Your glasses reflect your personality, so taking a few minutes to discover what suits you can help you make the right decision and ensure your glasses look fantastic on you.

Face Shape

Everyone's face is different. The shape of your face will determine what kind of styles suit you and which ones won't look as good as they should. By taking into account the shape of your face, you can select those styles of glasses that will look their best, balancing out an angular face, taking into account a strong jaw line or prominent cheekbones or narrow frames that balance out your face and give greater definition. Our advice on face shapes should help you determine what face shape you have and which glasses will enhance your looks rather than masking them. Find out more about face shapes here.

Hair Colour

In the same way you pick the right colour clothes to suit your complexion and hair colour, the same principles apply when choosing your glasses. Taking into consideration your hair colour can mean the difference between making a choice that compliments your tones and one that doesn't. If you have fair hair, softer, pastel shades or transparent or metal frames will ensure that your glasses don't overwhelm you. Black or brown hair works well with more dramatic frames. Our guide to choosing your frames takes into account this important factor, helping you to pick the colours that suit you best.

Remember, our in-store experts are on hand in your local store to help you find the perfect frame, including the most flattering of our contemporary frames. We're also here to offer you information, advice and practical tips about buying and wearing contact lenses.
