Finding the right pair of glasses shouldn't feel like guesswork. Your frames should complement your features, reflect your personal style, and feel comfortable from morning coffee to evening wind-down.
At SALT. Optometry, we make the process personal, offering one-on-one frame styling with brands that are as functional as they are beautiful. Whether you’re drawn to bold statements or subtle minimalism, we’ll help you find eyewear that fits your face and your lifestyle.
Why Your Face Shape Matters
Knowing your face shape can be a helpful starting point when choosing glasses, but it’s far from the only thing that matters. The truth is, the best frame for you is the one that makes you feel confident, looks balanced on your face, and fits your day-to-day lifestyle.
We consider face shape as part of a bigger picture. We also look at:
- Your personal style (bold? classic? low-key luxe?)
- How your frames will work with your prescription
- Skin tone, hair color, and overall proportions
- How often you’ll wear them and what for (work, screen time, sun, all-day wear)
Our curated selection of designer frames, from SALT. Optics to Celine, Vuarnet, Thierry Lasry, and Randolph offer something for every face and every aesthetic.
Frame Guide by Face Shape
While there are no hard rules in eyewear, certain frame styles tend to complement different face shapes by creating balance and contrast. Here’s a quick guide to help you find a flattering fit along with a few designer favorites we love to style in-store.
Oval Face
Lucky you—this shape works well with almost anything. Oval faces are naturally balanced, so feel free to explore bold silhouettes, sharp angles, or oversized styles.
Try:
- Structured frames from Celine for a modern, confident look
- Minimalist designs from SALT. Optics
- Statement tortoise or mirrored frames from Thierry Lasry
Round Face
Add contrast and structure with angular frames that elongate and define. Think rectangles, D-frames, or classic aviators.
Try:
- Clean-lined styles from Randolph Engineering
- Angular, unisex frames from SALT. Optics
- Upswept designs that give subtle lift
Square Face
Soften your angles with curved or rounded frames. Cat-eye styles and round lenses add contrast while maintaining harmony.
Try:
- Vintage-inspired curves from Vuarnet
- Round, lightweight frames from SALT. Optics
- Cat-eye silhouettes for a touch of glam
Heart-Shaped Face
Balance a wider forehead and narrower chin with bottom-heavy frames or winged shapes that add proportion.
Try:
- Soft acetate styles from Thierry Lasry
- Clubmaster-inspired frames from Randolph
- Gradient-tinted sun lenses from Vuarnet
Long or Narrow Face
Create width and presence with oversized frames, bold details, or deeper lens shapes that fill vertical space.
Try:
- Oversized, sculptural frames from Celine
- Thick acetate frames from SALT. Optics
- Sporty yet elevated wraps from Vuarnet
Other Things We Consider During a Fitting
Face shape is just one part of the story. When you work with our team at SALT. Optometry, we go beyond quick try-ons and “what looks good” guesses. Every fitting is personalized and designed to make sure your glasses feel as good as they look. Here’s what else we take into account:
- Your prescription: Stronger prescriptions may need thinner lenses or specific frame shapes to reduce weight and distortion.
- Your lifestyle: Are you commuting, working on screens all day, or switching between indoor and outdoor light? Your daily routine helps us recommend frames and lens enhancements that support how you actually live.
- Your style & comfort level: Bold and fashion-forward? Clean and minimal? We help you explore what feels true to you—no pressure, just guidance.
- Skin tone & coloring: We’ll help you find frame colors and finishes that complement your natural features.
- Fit & wearability: From nose bridge and temple placement to frame material and lens height, we make sure the frame fits you—not the other way around.
Why Designer Frames Fit (and Feel) Better
There’s a reason our patients choose designer frames, and it’s not just about style. High-quality eyewear doesn’t just look better, it fits better, lasts longer, and supports your vision in all the ways that matter. Here’s what sets our designer collections apart:
Better Materials
From handcrafted Japanese acetate by SALT. Optics to lightweight titanium and mineral glass lenses by Vuarnet, these frames are built to be worn all day without slipping, pinching, or stretching out of shape.
Designed for Real Faces
Luxury brands pay attention to facial proportions, fit points, and symmetry. That means your frames won’t just look good; they’ll sit where they’re supposed to, feel balanced, and provide proper support for your lenses.
Style That Lasts
These frames are timeless, not trendy. Whether you choose bold from Celine, sculptural from Thierry Lasry, or classic from Randolph, your look stays relevant and refined for years, not just a season.
Prescription-Ready by Design
Many of our frames are built to accommodate a range of lens types and prescriptions without sacrificing style or clarity. That’s something mass-market brands just can’t replicate.
