How to Choose The Right Frame for Your Face Shape

How to Choose the Right Frame for Your Face Shape

Finding the perfect pair of glasses isn't just about vision — it's about style, comfort, and confidence. One of the easiest ways to make sure your specs suit you is by choosing a frame that complements your face shape.

In this quick guide, we’ll show you how to match your face shape to the right frame — so your next pair isn’t just functional, but flawless.


Step 1: Identify Your Face Shape

🔹 Round Face

Round face shape example
  • Features: Full cheeks, soft curves, equal width and height
  • Best Frames: Angular or geometric frames that add structure — think rectangles or cat-eyes
  • Avoid: Small, round frames (they can exaggerate fullness)

🔹 Oval Face

Oval face shape example
  • Features: Balanced proportions, slightly narrower chin than forehead
  • Best Frames: Lucky you — almost anything goes! Try bold styles or oversized looks
  • Avoid: Frames that are too large or too small for your features

🔹 Square Face

Square face shape example
  • Features: Strong jawline, broad forehead, sharp angles
  • Best Frames: Round or oval frames to soften the angles
  • Avoid: Boxy frames that mimic your face shape

🔹 Heart-Shaped Face

Heart face shape example
  • Features: Wide forehead, high cheekbones, narrow chin
  • Best Frames: Bottom-heavy frames or thin, rimless styles that balance the top-heavy shape
  • Avoid: Top-heavy or highly decorated upper rims

🔹 Diamond Face

Diamond face shape example
  • Features: Narrow forehead and chin, wide cheekbones
  • Best Frames: Cat-eye, oval, or rimless styles to soften cheekbones
  • Avoid: Narrow frames that exaggerate width
