How to choose tortoiseshell frames

Shape: Choosing the right frames for your face not only enhances your overall image, but also modifies your face shape to a certain extent. Simply put, choose a shape that complements your facial contours. For example, a round face can choose square frames, while a square face can choose round frames.

Colour: We can judge our own colour by the warm and cool tones of our skin and hair. Wearing glasses with the same tone as our own can brighten our overall appearance.
