Tips on Choosing Eyeglasses Frames by Face Shape

PICKING GLASSES BY FACE SHAPE - DIFFERENT FACE SHAPES AND GLASSES

Pick The Best Glasses for Your Face Shape
 

Before choosing your perfect pair of glasses, determine your face shape. Here's a simple guide:

Take a look in the mirror, and ask yourself three questions:

1. Identify the widest part of your face.

Your forehead, chin, or jaw?

 2. What is the shape of your jaw?  Rounded, square, or pointed?

Finally,
    
   3. Do you have a long face or a shorter one?

 

If You Have a Heart-Shaped or Triangular Face (You likely have a shorter face)

 

    Heart shape - glasses

      
Heart-shaped or triangular faces usually have a broad forehead, narrower jawline, high cheekbones, and a narrow chin. 
Look for frames that will add width to the chin area. 
  
Tips
 

• Wayfarer or cat-eye styles are great for balancing a triangular-shaped face

• Round frames in lighter colors soften a wide forehead

• Frames that are wider at the bottom than the top help offset the narrow chin

• Avoid frames that are decorative at the top or that are wider at the top than the bottom

  Round face Shape for Glasses

    
A round-shaped face has a more prominent or larger, curved forehead, full cheeks, and a round chin.

Round-shaped faces should select angular frames to help sharpen and add definition.

Tips

• Angular frames with rectangular or geometric shapes create balance and definition.

• Rectangular frame styles create a slimmer-looking round face

• The smaller the height of the frame, the more thinner the round face tends to look.

• Glasses with high or mid-height temples help lengthen a round face.

  Square Face Shape for Glasses

If You Have a Square-Shaped Face (you may have a longer face)

 

Square-shaped  faces are usually proportional in length and width. A strong prominent jaw line  with a square chin and a wide forehead are characteristic of this shape. Try  round or oval glasses to soften and add contrast to the face.

Tips

• Round frames create curves and soften square or angular  faces

• Cat-eye frames also add curves and contour square faces

• The soft curves of oval frames help minimize angles and  lengthen a square face

• Subtle rimless frames with soft edges add contrast

If You Have an Oval-Shaped Face (Likely have a long face)
    
 

    Oval Shape for Glasses

 

It's the easiest face shape to complement. An oval-shaped face has balanced proportions, a narrow forehead, and a chin of equal size, though the chin is  a little narrower than the forehead. The proportions being balanced about any frame shape will complement this face shape.

Tips

  • • Most frame styles will work for this face shape; maybe start  with mainly geometric or round frames,
    or rectangular and butterfly frames
  • • People with oval faces often have smaller features, so when picking frames, they should be in proportion and not overpowering.
