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!

Spectacle Presents Yellow Plus at Lawrence Park!

In his recent travels around the world, on the hunt for new and exciting collections to share with our clients, Spectacle founder and owner Jag Dhillon has come across quite an elegant collection hailing from a town north of Kyoto, Japan. 

Also available in half matte black, half polished silver finish.

The frames are constructed from titanium, featuring acetate temple tips.  The colour palette of the line consists of matte finished fronts in earth tones, Browns, Blacks, Olive, Violet and and Red. Each features a painted front with a polished, brushed finish in chrome or gold on the inner surfaces.

All design and construction of the collection is done in Japan where Yellow Plus emphasis the importance of having control of every element of the process.

"It’s our policy to coordinate the most reliable engineers in each field of component parts and processes and have careful arrangements over and to make confirmation on each production process.  We can control the slightest movements of lines in this way It is quite important for our production to make these kinds of confirmations."

Yellow Plus aims to produce styles that, although may be in line with current trends depending on year to year,  are intended to be styles that don’t date themselves to a particular season.

"We think the styles should be given the first priority. Therefore we don’t stick too much to the fashion of short life but we pursue the styles, which are appreciated to be beautiful constantly by users over the long period."

The Yellow Plus collection is available at Spectacle's Lawrence Park and Queen West shops for your viewing pleasure, because after all, Spectacle Loves You!

Summer may not be the best time to break out the black leather pants unless you've got the matching Harley, but at least you can sport a tasteful bit of black, tan, or brown leather with Gucci's new 1943/S Shades:

Gucci 1943/S in Black Leather

With the entire surface of the frame including the temples and rim around the lens, swathed in leather, Gucci reminds us all that decadence comes in any material.

German design house Blinde, have been busy producing modern sunnies in a variety of materials. Characterized by distinct, wrapped frames that fit the contour's of the wearers head, designs by Blinde made waves in the eyewear world by providing the shades for the Matrix trilogy and since have been often imitated but never duplicated.
