The right frames enhance your features and express your personality. The wrong frames can overwhelm your face. Our frame styling guide helps you make the perfect choice.
Determining Your Face Shape Round: Soft curves, similar width and length. Oval: Balanced proportions, gently curved jaw. Square: Strong jawline, similar width at forehead and jaw. Heart: Wider forehead, narrow chin. Diamond: Narrow forehead and jaw, wide cheekbones.
Frame Recommendations by Face Shape Round faces: Angular, rectangular frames add definition. Oval faces: Most styles work — maintain proportional balance. Square faces: Round or oval frames soften angular features. Heart faces: Bottom-heavy frames or rimless styles balance proportions. Diamond faces: Cat-eye or oval frames highlight cheekbones.
Beyond Face Shape Consider your skin tone (warm or cool), hair colour, lifestyle (active vs professional), prescription strength (high prescriptions suit smaller frames), and personal style preferences.
