This is no more evident than by looking at the evolution of style of iconic fashion blogger and centenarian Iris Apfel. She has made wearing glasses in the 21 Century a must have fashion accent.

The rules for face shapes vary and being guided by comfort should be key. Although some people will gravitate to specific shapes, the rules are not rigid.  Whether your face shape is oval, heart, oblong, or diamond choosing a frame that is proportional to the width and length of your face will be the most flattering.  When our talented Optical Dispensers and Assistants are helping you with your frame choice, we aim to recognise your style personality and lifestyle while assessing for good fit and comfort.

Good examples of choosing for personal style are Jessica Rowe, who channels her cat loving look, while Elton John compliments his outfits with coordinated flamboyant frames.

No matter what your flair or characteristics, accessorising your look with the amazing frames will compliment and distinguish your style. As Iris Apfel said, "Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how-to road map to style. It’s about self-expression and, and, above all, attitude.”.

Trust your instincts and choose what you love.
