Discovering Your Look, Not Just Your Fit
At MEGANE Elevated Optical, we know that finding the perfect pair of glasses goes beyond measurements. It’s about identity—how you move through the world and how you want to be seen.
Choosing the right eyewear starts with your face shape, yes—but it doesn’t end there. The best frames aren’t just what “suits” you technically. They’re the ones that help you feel most like yourself.
In this guide, we share what we’ve learned from working hands-on with clients in our boutique—helping people across all face shapes and style preferences find frames that truly resonate. Along the way, we’ll highlight examples from our curated collection that have made a real impression on our customers.
Face Shape Basics
While each person is unique, identifying your general face shape can be helpful. From round and oval to square, heart, and diamond, each shape has characteristics that interact differently with frame designs.
Round faces often pair well with angular or geometric frames, which help bring structure and visual balance. Oval faces are versatile and tend to suit almost any style, which makes them great for experimenting with bolder pieces. Square faces can benefit from softer, curved silhouettes that gently offset strong jawlines. Heart-shaped faces, with broader foreheads and narrow chins, often shine in slightly lifted or lighter-top styles. And diamond-shaped faces, which are more angular with prominent cheekbones, typically look great in frames that add width around the eyes.
These are just starting points. At MEGANE, we take your personality and style preferences into account—because choosing the right pair of Japanese Eyewear or fashion sunglasses is never just a formula.
Where Style Meets Personality
Over the years, we’ve noticed something: the best eyewear choices come not only from facial features but from personal style and self-expression. It’s less about a rule, and more about a feeling.
If you’re drawn to clean, bold, modern minimalism, try the sleek titanium lines of YUICHI TOYAMA, or the precise, architectural aesthetics of PROJECT PRODUCT. These frames tend to attract customers who appreciate structure, simplicity, and an elevated, quiet presence.
If you lean more toward bold, directional fashion, CELINE and LOEWE deliver with dramatic shapes, sculptural temples, and couture energy. These designs often appeal to style-forward individuals looking to make a statement with their eyewear or sunglasses.
For those who embrace timeless refinement and quiet luxury, EYEVAN offers understated beauty with Japanese craftsmanship, while MOSCOT brings historical charm and vintage authenticity. GARRETT LEIGHT adds a West Coast softness that’s equally classic and approachable.
And if you're looking for something that feels unique, expressive, and personal, Akila delivers. Our own in-house brand, NYBK, blends character-rich proportions with comfort and ease—making it a favorite for clients who want something personal, unfussy, and fresh.
These selections are also popular with visitors from Huntington Beach, where style meets laid-back sophistication.
The MEGANE Experience
What sets MEGANE apart is not just the eyewear—but how we help you choose it. Our one-on-one fittings are centered around conversation and curation. We take time to learn about your lifestyle, your personal taste, and how you want your glasses to function day-to-day.
We also help you make informed decisions about lens upgrades, from progressive prescriptions to sunglasses with blue light filtering or photochromic technology. And if you’re visiting us after a recent eye exam, we’re happy to fill your updated prescription with a pair of designer glasses that truly fit your personality.
From there, we guide you through our hand-selected collections—from Japanese ateliers to Paris fashion houses—to find frames that speak not only to your face, but to your sense of self.
Whether you’re based in Huntington Beach, just visited for an eye exam, or are shopping for a new pair of Japanese Eyewear, our boutique experience is designed around you.

We invite you to visit our Costa Mesa boutique and explore our carefully curated world of eyewear—where craftsmanship meets culture, and where every frame has a point of view.
