The Collection

First, let’s identify the different face shapes:

• Round: Characterized by full, round cheeks and a circular hairline.
• Oval: Considered the “ideal” face shape, with balanced proportions and a slightly narrower jawline than the forehead.
• Square: Prominent jawline and square hairline, with a forehead and jawline that are roughly the same width.
• Diamond: Narrow forehead and jawline, with prominent cheekbones.
• Heart: Wide forehead and narrow chin, with the chin often pointed.
• Triangle: Narrow forehead and wide jawline, with the jawline being the widest part of the face.

Now that you’ve identified your face shape, let’s discuss which eyewear styles will flatter your features:

• Round face: To elongate a round face, opt for angular frames that have a wider top than bottom. Avoid round frames, as they can make your face appear even rounder.
• Oval face: As an “ideal” face shape, oval faces can pull off a variety of frame shapes. However, it’s best to avoid frames that are wider than the broadest part of your face, as they can throw off the balance of your features.
• Square face: Soft, round frames can help balance out a square face and soften angular features. Avoid frames that are too square, as they can emphasize your strong jawline.
• Diamond face: Frames that are wider at the bottom can help balance out prominent cheekbones, while rimless or semi-rimless frames can also be flattering. Avoid frames that are too narrow, as they can make your face appear even longer.
• Heart face: To balance out a wide forehead, look for frames with a bottom-heavy or narrow top design. Avoid frames that are too wide, as they can make your forehead appear even wider.
• Triangle face: To add width to the top half of your face, choose frames that are wider at the top. Rimless frames can also be a good choice, as they draw attention to the eyes and away from the jawline. Avoid frames that are too narrow, as they can make your face appear even longer.

Another benefit of Transitions™ lenses is that they provide enhanced protection from the sun’s UV rays. UV radiation is known to cause damage to the eyes, including cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Transitions™ lenses block 100% of UVB rays and up to 90% of UVA rays, providing a higher level of protection than regular clear lenses.

One of the biggest benefits of Transitions™ lenses is that they eliminate the need for multiple pairs of glasses. With traditional glasses, you would need a separate pair for indoor and outdoor use. Transitions™ lenses can be worn all day, regardless of the lighting conditions, which can be a great convenience and cost-saving.

Polarized Transitions™ lenses are designed to reduce glare from surfaces such as water, snow, and pavements. They can be especially beneficial for outdoor activities such as fishing, skiing, and cycling.

There are different types of Transitions™ lenses available, including generation 8 Transitions™ lenses, Xtractive Transitions™, polarized Transitions™ lenses, and the latest Style-Colour Transitions™ lenses. With each generation, the technology keeps getting better and the choices available now suit everyone. They also provide enhanced protection from the sun’s UV rays and can improve visual comfort.
