Linda Farrow began her company with the help of her favourite Optician, who also happens to be her husband.  She was among the first fashion designers to treat eyewear as a fashion accessory rather than simply a requirement.

Linda creates extremely fashionable pieces using high quality materials such as horn, leather, metal - even snakeskin!

Sunglasses For YOUR Face Shape!

With Summer just around the corner, everyone is looking at a new pair of sunnies!  This can be difficult since there are so many types around and so Spectacle is going to help you decide because Spectacle Loves You!

Round Face Shape

People with a more round face shape should stay with frames that have an angular appearance.  Angled lenses will help define your facial features and highlight your features!  A great frame for a round face type is Thierry Lasry  Glazy shades!

Thierry Lasry is a very fashion-forward brand and the Glazy is a stunning frame.
Available now at Queen St. Spectacle!

Square Face Shape

Those with a square face shape should stick to more rounded frames.  Round styles are extremely popular in the industry right now and we would recommend the MOSCOT Lemtosh.  This frame is also very popular among celebrities such as Johnny Depp!

Heart Face Shape

Up swept or butterfly style frames are the best for heart shaped faces because they distract from a narrow chin and a high forehead.  A great frame for this face shape is the Linda Farrow Prabal Gurung!

The Linda Farrow Prabal Gurung is angled upwards and very stylish! 
Available soon at the Queen St. location!

Oval Face Shape

If you have an oval shaped face, you're in luck!  An oval face is well suited to any style of frame.  We love the ic! berlin Fruhlingstraum frame.  It is perfect for Spring and Summer and is a light frame you can wear anytime!

This ic! berlin frame is perfect for everyday wear. 
Coming to the Queen St. location!

Come by and ask one of our amazing stylists for help finding your perfect sunglass frame!
