Our tips for choosing your Fred frame

To choose the right Fred frame for you, it's important to consider the shape of your face to harmonize your style. Oval faces lend themselves to all shapes, while round faces will benefit from angular frames to structure the look. Square faces will find their balance with rounded or oval shapes that soften the features. In terms of shades, gold or rose gold metal is perfect for warm skin tones, while palladium goes well with cooler complexions. Your choice of model should also take into account your optical correction: some frames are better suited to progressive or thick lenses, offering both comfort and aesthetic appeal.
