Frame selection guide
Your face shape is why some specs look AMAZING… and others look completely wrong.
Ever wondered why a pair looks great on display, but “feels” off when you put it on? Let's find your perfect match.
First, look in a mirror and check your outline
Pull your hair back and look straight ahead. Which shape most closely matches your cheekbones, forehead and jawline?
- Round
- Oval
- Square
- Heart
- Oblong
Round face
Add contrast with structured angles.
Soft curves and balanced width / length look best with angular frames to add definition. Best styles: rectangle, square, sharp geometric.
Less suited: very round.
Goal: define & structure.
Square face
Soften strong angles.
Defined jawlines and broad foreheads pop when paired with rounded, gentle curves. Best styles: classic round, oval, soft cat-eye.
Less suited: very boxy.
Goal: balanced softness.
Oval face
You won the frame lottery.
Well-balanced proportions mean almost any frame shape looks natural on you. Best styles: rectangle, round, aviator, geometric.
Goal: play with styles.
Heart face
Balance a broader forehead.
Broader foreheads and narrower chins shine with frames that add balance toward the bottom. Best styles: light-colored frames, thin metals, bottom-heavy shapes.
Less suited: top-heavy.
Goal: lower face balance.
Oblong face
Create visual width.
Longer face shapes look great in frames with extra vertical depth or bold top bars to break up length. Best styles: oversized frames, deep square shapes, bold acetate rims.
Less suited: ultra-narrow.
Goal: proportion & width.
The plot twist
But face shape is only 50% of the equation.
Bridge fit, cheekbone height, skin tone, and lens prescription matter just as much as face shape. Don't box yourself into rules, fit and comfort come first.
