Choosing glasses to suit your face shape
Glasses for oval faces
People with an oval face have a softly rounded forehead and chin, with fairly balanced proportions. Lucky for you, almost all frame shapes will suit you, so you can be adventurous as you like. We’d recommend going for styles that are a little wider than the widest part of your face.
Softly rounded
Evenly proportioned
Glasses for heart shaped faces
Those with heart-shaped faces will be widest at the forehead, gently narrowing down towards the chin with soft features.
To offset the natural wideness at the top half of your face, opt for frames that are a little wider than your forehead or have an exaggerated brow line like a cat-eye or Clubmaster-inspired style.
Broad forehead
High and defined cheekbones
Small chin
Glasses for round faces
Round faces tend to be fairly short, with a wider forehead, full cheeks, rounded chin and softer jawline. It’s best to choose styles that will complement your softer features, so go for rounder frames rather than angular.
Width & length similarly proportionate
Fuller cheekbones
Little to no angles
Glasses for square faces
You’ll be in this category if your face width and length are proportionate, and you’ve got a broad forehead and a strong jaw. To create a little more length in the face and to offset your strong features, opt for narrower styles that are still angular in shape to complement your face.
Broad deep forehead
Square chin
Wide jaw
Glasses for rectangle faces
Rectangular faces generally have a deeper forehead, longer nose, with a stronger jaw line. People with this face shape should opt for glasses with a strong brow line in a deep, square shape. Steer clear of rounded, softer frames that won’t make the most of your angular features.
Glasses for triangle faces
Triangle faces will be widest at the jaw, narrowing up to the forehead. You’ll want to add a little width to this narrower part of your face, so go for strong brow lines or cat-eye shapes to really emphasise your eyes.
Narrow at the forehead
Wider at the cheek and chin area
