With a \u003cstrong\u003e48mm lens width\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is a classic medium fit. It is particularly effective for those with \u003cstrong\u003eangular or square face shapes\u003c\/strong\u003e, as the rounded bottom of the Panto silhouette provides a softening effect. Because of the exposed metal work, this frame looks exceptional in \u003cstrong\u003etranslucent colorways\u003c\/strong\u003e like \"Crystal\" or \"Grey,\" where the internal \"skeleton\" is most visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Blake Kuwahara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43385085460570,"sku":"SQ1246015","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/4325\/4106\/files\/PROUVE-Amber0216-scaled.webp?v=1780886525","url":"https:\/\/thisframeworks.com\/products\/blake-kuwahara-bayer-grey-gold-b9em3-582m5-sk8jc","provider":"This Frameworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
