How to Pick the Best Frames for Your Face and Personal Style

Finding the perfect pair of glasses goes far beyond just improving your vision—it’s about expressing your personality and feeling confident in your look. At Nik’s Optiks, we believe eyewear should be both functional and fashionable. Whether you prefer something bold and modern or classic and understated, the right frames can elevate your entire look. Here’s how to choose frames that complement your face shape and suit your personal style.

Identify Your Face Shape

Start by determining your face shape. While every face is unique, most fall into one of the following categories:

• Round: Full cheeks and a softer jawline. Choose angular or rectangular frames to add definition.

• Oval: Balanced proportions with a slightly narrower chin. Lucky you—most frame shapes work well with this face.

• Square: A strong jawline and broad forehead. Try round or oval frames to soften the angles.

• Heart-shaped: Wider forehead and narrow chin. Go for bottom-heavy frames or light-colored designs to create balance.

• Diamond: Narrow forehead and chin with wider cheekbones. Look for frames that highlight the eyes, such as cat-eye or rimless styles.

Match Frames to Your Personal Style

Your eyewear should reflect who you are. Consider your lifestyle, wardrobe, and what you want your glasses to say about you.

• Classic & Professional: Timeless designs in black, brown, or tortoiseshell offer a polished and versatile look.

• Trendy & Fashion-Forward: Oversized, geometric, or translucent frames are great for those who like to stay ahead of the style curve.

• Minimalist: Rimless or thin metal frames offer subtle sophistication and a clean aesthetic.

• Bold & Expressive: Bright colors, thick frames, and unique shapes are ideal if you like to make a statement.

Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone—you might be surprised at what suits you.

Consider Your Skin Tone and Hair Color

Skin tone plays a big role in what frame colors will look best on you.

• Warm tones (golden, peachy, or olive): Try earthy colors like browns, golds, olive green, or honey.

• Cool tones (pink, blue, or reddish undertones): Look for frames in black, gray, blue, or jewel tones.

Hair color can also enhance your frame selection. Blonde or light brown hair pairs well with soft tones, while dark hair can contrast beautifully with bolder frame colors.
