How To Select Glasses For Your Face Shape

Determining your face shape will determine which glasses best suit you and flatter your face.  This will include colour, size and lens shape. 

Round

If you have: 

  • Full cheeks
  • Rounded chin
  • Equal length and width

This means you have a rounded face.  The rounded face goes with strong details, wider lenses, and nose pads to keep off the cheeks.

Recommendations:

 

Square

If you have: 

  • Prominent jawline
  • Angular features
  • Wide forehead

This results in a square face, features you should be looking for are rounded or up swept shapes for the lenses, thinner frames and neutral colours.

Recommendations:

 

Oval

If you have: 

  • Balanced features
  • High cheekbones
  • Chin narrower than forehead

This means an oval shape, generally it is best to find frames that have bold shapes, fun colours and textures, and a size that maintains balance.

Recommendations:

 

Heart

If you have: 

  • Broad forehead
  • Pointed, narrow chin
  • High cheekbones

The heart shaped face goes best with frames that are wider than the forehead, has details on the lower half and light colours.
