TOTALLY TORTOISE: Like the little black dress or red lipstick, a tortoise frame is a fashion classic. Working equally well on men and women, a tortoise frame will never go out of style or overpower the wearer. Whether CatEye, round, rectangular (or in one case, both!), it always looks polished and keeps even the boldest shapes from being too over the top. The tones, whether honey yellow or warm amber, bring warmth to any face. Check out our gallery of style-savvy tortoise fans
