How to Pick the Best Glasses Frames for Your Face Shape
The right spectacle frames do more than correct your vision — they enhance your features and bring balance to your face. The easiest rule is to choose frames that contrast your face shape to create balance.
Use the quick guide below to match your face shape with flattering frame styles:
-
Round face → Angular or square frames; avoid small round styles
-
Heart face → Bottom‑heavy, round or oval frames to balance a wider forehead
-
Oval face → Most styles work; try aviator, rectangle, or round frames

How to Choose Spectacle Frame Colours for Your Skin Tone
Picking the right colour for your spectacle frames is just as important as choosing the right shape. Your skin tone helps determine which shades will flatter your look:
-
Warm tones (golden, olive, deeper): Brown, honey, tortoiseshell, gold, beige, olive green. Avoid pastels and stark whites.
-
Cool tones (fair, rosy, cool undertones): Silver, black, navy, blue‑grey, pink, purple. Avoid orange‑gold or muddy browns.
-
Neutral tones: Most colours work. Try tortoiseshell, muted rose, soft grey, or classic black.

FAQs
Q1: What are the best spectacle frames to buy in Kenya?
The best frames depend on your face shape, lifestyle, and budget. Rectangle and oval optical frames suit most people, while geometric or cat‑eye glasses frames add style. For durability, choose metal or TR90 frames. Browse online or visit Optica Kenya for expert guidance.
Q2: What is the difference between spectacle frames and eyeglasses frames?
They mean the same thing — the structure holding your lenses. “Spectacles” is traditional British English, while “eyeglasses” or “glasses” is more common in everyday use. At Optica Kenya, both terms cover corrective and fashion eyewear.
Q3: Which optical frames are most durable for everyday wear?
Titanium and stainless steel spectacle frames are long‑lasting. TR90 frames are lightweight, impact‑resistant, and ideal for daily use. Acetate offers premium finishes but needs careful handling. Optica Kenya ensures all glasses frames meet durability standards.

Prices range from budget‑friendly specs frames to premium designer optical frames. Entry‑level brands like Optica and Oxygene are affordable, while Tommy Hilfiger and Cactus offer luxury options. All can be fitted with prescription lenses.
Q6: Do Optica Kenya’s glasses frames come with prescription lenses?
Yes. Bring a current prescription, or book an eye test at any branch. Standard lenses can be fitted in about an hour, while complex prescriptions may take longer.
