Finding the perfect pair of glasses isn’t just about correcting your vision - it’s about choosing frames that highlight your features, fit comfortably, and feel like an extension of your personal style. With countless shapes, colors, and materials available, the process can quickly become confusing. At Westchester Eyes, we make it easy for patients in White Plains to discover high-quality frames that flatter their face and support their visual needs, starting with understanding which glasses shapes work best for you.
 

Start by Identifying Your Face Shape

While everyone’s face is unique, most fall into a few general categories. Knowing your face shape can help narrow down styles that naturally balance your features.

• Round Face: Soft curves with similar width and length. Look for angular or rectangular frames to add definition and contrast.
• Square Face: Strong jawline and broad forehead. Rounded or oval frames can soften sharp angles and create balance.
• Oval Face: Balanced proportions with slightly narrower chin. Most frame styles work well, making this face shape especially versatile.
• Heart-Shaped Face: Wider forehead with a narrower chin. Bottom-heavy or rimless frames can help balance proportions.
• Diamond Face: Narrow forehead and chin with wider cheekbones. Oval or cat-eye frames highlight cheekbones while maintaining balance.
   

Match Frames to Your Features

Face shape is a helpful starting point, but other features matter too. Consider the size of your nose, the distance between your eyes, and the prominence of your cheekbones. Frames should sit comfortably on your nose, align well with your eyes, and feel proportionate.
 

Consider Your Lifestyle and Personality

Your glasses should suit how you live. If you lead an active lifestyle, lightweight and durable frames may be best. For a professional setting, classic shapes and neutral colors often work well. If you love to make a statement, bold colors or unique designs can showcase your personality. Our curated selection of high-quality frames in White Plains ensures there’s something for every style and lifestyle.
 

Pay Attention to Color and Material

Skin tone and hair color can influence which frame colors look best on you. Warm skin tones often pair well with earthy hues like tortoiseshell or gold, while cooler tones may shine with black, silver, or clear frames. Materials also matter - acetate offers rich color options, while metal frames provide a sleek, lightweight feel.
 

Professional Fit Matters

Even the most stylish frames won’t feel right if they don’t fit properly. A professional fitting ensures your glasses sit comfortably, stay in place, and provide optimal vision. Our team takes precise measurements and adjusts frames so they feel as good as they look.
