Finding the Perfect Glasses for your Face Shape

Wondering which glasses are best for your face shape? It’s all about finding a style that makes you feel confident – and I am here to help.  

Sometimes, having a general idea of your face shape can be a good starting point when you’re shopping for glasses or sunglasses. Learn how to work out whether you have a round, oval, square, diamond, triangular, or heart shaped face and get expert recommendations on which frames will best suit your face shape.  

A) Square Face Shape: Look for rounded, thinner frames that are wider than your cheekbones, while remaining proportional to the length and width of your face: 

B) Round Face Shape: Round faces are all soft curves and smooth lines, roughly the same width from the jaw up through to the brow. With round faces, the cheeks are usually full and the chin is rounded.  

When choosing glasses for round face shapes, select frames that add definition. Choose bold, angular glasses with clean lines like rectangular frames that add contrast to facial structure.

C) Heart Face Shape: When finding the best glasses for heart shaped faces, get playful with opposites and look for winged-out or wide frames that jut out slightly wider than the forehead, with rounded bases to balance and complement features like aviator frames that add width and contrast .

D) Triangle Face Shape: To compliment your features and add contrast, look for frames that play with opposites (featuring wider top and narrower bottoms) and mix round and angular shapes like browline glasses that define brow line brings definition .

E) For an oval face, choose glasses that emphasize the natural balance and add angles to your face’s subtle curves. Look for frames that are as wide as the widest part of your face, which is typically the area around the eyes, in a shape that adds subtle contrast to your features.

F) Look for frames that draw attention to your eyes while bringing a softer contrast to angular features. Curved frames with delicate lines tend to be especially complementary for diamond-shaped faces.
