Spectacle Eyewear for Petite Face Shapes!

Finding the right eyewear can be difficult, especially for those of us with small faces. Well look no further - Spectacle has you covered with these trendy, current styles that will look like they were made just for you!

Anne et Valentin MINIBA

Anne et Valentin MINIBLUE

The Anne et Valentin MINIBA and MINIBLUE eyeglasses are perfect for small facial features. They are colourful and bold without being overwhelming on a petite face.

Barton Perreira Cassady

The Cassady is a more subtle eyeglass in a classic shape for everyday wear. It's perfect if you like the squared, slight cat-eye trend but have had difficulty finding a pair that isn't massive and ill-fitting on your face.

Oliver Peoples Denison and Follies

Oliver Peoples is known for their classic American eyewear made of great colour tones and high-quality acetates and metals. Both the Denison and Follies are suitable to small face shapes and come in colours that are bold without being overpowering.

Oliver Goldsmith CONSUL - SS

The Oliver Goldsmith CONSUL - SS is the smaller version of the classic CONSUL piece.  They stand out and are a thicker acetate model, but it is created in a way that highlights a petite face without appearing overly chunky.

Whatever your face shape may be, Spectacle carries eyewear that will fit you perfectly!

Kira Loves Oliver Goldsmith!

As most eyewear lovers know, Oliver Goldsmith has a rich history in the world of eyewear design.  Oliver Goldsmith's creations have been worn by everyone from Audrey Hepburn to the late Princess Diana.

Lady Diana and Audrey Hepburn

With a reputation for creating some of the most unique and memorable eyewear around, it's no wonder Kira chose to feature Oliver Goldsmith as her favourite sunglasses of 2012.

Kira in the Moosh sunglass which she loves for its shape and colour 

According to Kira, "My vice is fashion and especially vintage items, so naturally I was drawn to the Oliver Goldsmith concept.  They are all about revolutionizing eyewear worn predominately for sun protection and propelling it into a must have accessory throughout the 1950's.  Over the years, the colours and styles remained timeless and I'm all about the visuals!"

Darren Loves Oliver Goldsmith

Darren is up to cap our staff fav's/picks blog series with his love of Oliver Goldsmith.

OG is the OG of the sunglass game if you catch our drift. Having been established in 1926 and considered to be the first company to put a "fashion tint" in sunglasses. They have done designs to fit all types people from Michael Caine to Grace Kelly and everyone in between. This is where our boy Darren comes in to play certainly falling somewhere between Mr Caine and Mrs Kelly in style, just check out the pic, its worth a thousand words...........

"I love Oliver Goldsmith, for their style, flair and years and years of originality. Weather your a guy or gal, new to the world of fancy shades or a savvy vet of style Goldsmith has you covered. Since re-launching in '07 under the careful curating of Claire Goldsmith there hasn't been a season that's gone by they haven't brought out one of their original pieces and proven once again why they are often imitated and never duplicated"
