Face shape guide
When choosing glasses, you obviously consider color, size, strength, and fit—just like most people. But have you thought about how your face shape might play into your choice
Knowing your face shape can make it easier to find frames that truly suit you. The right frame can highlight your favorite features, create appealing contrasts, or complement the natural lines and proportions of your face to achieve a balanced look.
That said, remember that your face shape is just one factor among many. It’s never more important than your personal taste and style. Matching your frame to your face shape is not an exact science, and it’s certainly not a rule you have to follow! But it can serve as a helpful guide—and a fun part of the selection process.
Find your face shape in the guide below and explore which glasses might suit you best. Enjoy the journey!
Round face
A round face is generally as wide as it is long, with full cheeks, soft features, and few (if any) sharp angles around the jawline.
Best frames for you:
Look for square or rectangular frames. These add contrast to a round face, making it appear slimmer. If you’d rather enhance the natural softness of your features, try a more rounded frame.
Frames to avoid:
Very narrow or very round frames may make your face look even rounder and wider.

Square face
A square face shape has distinct angles: a broad forehead, a square jawline, and a strong, defined chin.
Best Frames for You:
Opt for rounded, oval, or cat-eye frames that add softness and contrast to your angular features, balancing out a square face shape.
Frames to Avoid:
Avoid overly boxy or heavy frames.

Oval Face
Oval faces are longer than they are wide, with a softly rounded jawline that’s slightly narrower than the forehead, and high cheekbones.
Best Frames for You:
If you have an oval face, you’re in luck—most frame shapes will suit you, from bold and angular to light and round. Rectangular, square, and round frames will accentuate your face’s natural symmetry without overwhelming it. You can even go for more oversized, statement frames, which can look fantastic on an oval face.
Frames to Avoid:
There’s really nothing you need to avoid! Just steer clear of styles you find boring or that don’t fit your personal style—that advice applies to everyone, regardless of face shape.

Triangle Face
A triangle face is characterized by a narrower forehead, fuller cheeks, and a wider jawline.
Best Frames for You:
Round, oversized frames with softer curves and slightly upward angles will bring balance to your face by drawing attention upward, making your forehead appear wider. Choose frames that match or exceed the width of your jawline, and go for bold, eye-catching colors that highlight the upper part of your face.
Frames to Avoid:
Very angular frames may make your face look sharper and more pronounced.

Heart-Shaped Face
Heart-shaped faces have a broad forehead, prominent cheekbones, and a narrower chin and jawline.
Best Frames for You:
Frames that balance out the varying widths of your face will complement your unique shape. Slightly upward-angled frames divert attention from your narrower chin, while round and oval frames soften your pointed chin, creating harmony.
Frames to Avoid:
Heavy or oversized frames may look too dominant on a heart-shaped face.
