Understanding the shape of your face can help when choosing new glasses frames. The aim is to select a style that will compliment your features and balance your face.
Round faces:
Angular shaped frames are often best on a round face. Look for frames which are wider rather than deep which will help to elongate the appearance of your face.
Heart shaped face:
Both round and angular styles will suit this shape of face. Try to avoid frames that are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom as this will mimic your face and accentuate the heart shape.
Oval face:
Oval faces tend to be well balanced and suit most styles.
Square face:
Both round and oval shaped frames can be used here to soften the angular face shape.
Oblong face:
Try to avoid very small or narrow shapes. Slightly wider and deeper frames can help shorten the appearance of an oblong face.
