Round Face
If you have a round face, look for frames with angular or geometric shapes to help balance out the curves of your face. Rectangular or square frames with sharp angles can create contrast and make your face appear slimmer.
You Have:
- Full cheeks
- Rounded chin
- Equal length and width
Look For:
- Lenses as wide as they are tall
- Bold details
- Adjustable nose pads
Square Face
For a square face, look for frames that soften the angles of your face, such as round or oval frames. Frames with curved edges can help balance out the strong lines of a square jawline.
You Have:
- Prominent jawline
- Angular features
- Wide forehead
Look For:
- Round or swept shapes
- Thinner frames
- Neutral colors
Oval Face
An oval face shape can wear almost any frame style, but look for frames that are proportionate to your face size. Avoid frames that are too small or too large, and consider frames with unique designs or embellishments to add visual interest.
You Have:
- Balanced features
- High cheekbones
- Narrow chin
Look For:
- Fun colors, textures
- Bold details
- Balanced size
Heart Face
For a heart-shaped face, look for frames that are wider at the bottom than the top, such as aviator or cat-eye frames. These styles can help balance out a narrow chin and wider forehead.
You Have:
- Broad forehead
- Pointed, narrow chin
- High cheekbones
Look For:
- Frames wider than forehead
- Details on lower half
- Light colors
Diamond Face
If you have a diamond face shape, look for frames that are wider than your cheekbones, such as cat-eye or oval frames. Avoid frames that are too narrow or too wide, as they can exaggerate the width of your face.
You Have:
- Narrow, parallel eyes
- Broad, full cheeks
- Narrow jawline
Look For:
- Wide rims
- Frames with angular lines
- Top-heavy semi-rimless styles
When selecting frames, consider the proportions of your face and the size of the frame. You’ll want to choose a frame that fits your face well, without being too loose or too tight. Additionally, consider the color and material of the frame, as well as any special features, such as adjustable nose pads or spring hinges, that can improve the fit and comfort of your glasses.
