3. FAQ
Q: What is a "Navigator" shape? A: Think of it as the square cousin of the Aviator. It keeps the cool double-bridge bar but swaps the teardrop lens for a rectangular shape. This makes it more modern and easier to wear for prescription lenses than traditional aviators.
Q: Is the two-tone color loud? A: It is bold but refined. The black and tortoise combination is a classic pairing. The black brow line frames your eyes like a defined eyebrow, while the tortoise lower rim softens the look against your skin, making it versatile enough for daily wear.
Q: Will this fit a larger face? A: Yes. The Navigator style is naturally slightly wider to give that "pilot" look, making The Griffin an excellent choice for those who find standard rectangular frames too narrow or pinching.
