Face Shapes

Face shapes play a big role in determining which  glasses style will suit you best! Here are some common face shapes and their key characteristics:

• Oval: Balanced proportions, with a slightly narrower chin and forehead.

• Round: Circular shape with full cheeks and a softer jawline.

• Square: Strong jawline with a forehead and jaw of similar width.

• Heart: Wider forehead that tapers down to a pointed chin.

• Diamond: Narrow forehead and chin, with the widest point at the cheekbones.

• Rectangle (or Oblong): Similar to square but longer in length, with a defined jawline.

• Triangle (or Pear): Narrow forehead and wider jawline.​

Once you have determined your face shape here are the best options for you.

​

• Oval: Almost any style suits this balanced shape. Experiment with bold, geometric frames or oversized designs for a fun look.

• Round: Go for angular frames like rectangular or square ones to add definition. Avoid round frames, as they emphasize the face's roundness.

• Square: Choose round or oval frames to soften strong jawlines. Thin or rimless frames can also work well.

• Heart: Look for frames wider at the bottom, like aviators or rimless styles, to balance a wider forehead.

• Diamond: Highlight cheekbones with cat-eye or oval frames. Avoid narrow designs; they may make your face appear smaller.

• Rectangle (or Oblong): Opt for taller frames to reduce the appearance of length. Decorative or bold designs can add interest.

• Triangle (or Pear): Balance a narrow forehead with frames that have bold tops, like cat-eye or semi-rimless designs.
