Find
your fit. Brighten up your face. The
frame that you choose should be in proportion to your face –
meaning that smaller frames look best on a smaller face and larger
frames on a larger face. In general, the frame shape should be
the opposite of the shape of your face.
An
oval face has balanced features with high cheekbones and a chin
that’s slightly more narrow than the forehead. Almost any
style works for this face. Square-shaped frames with softly rounded
edges are best for this face.

The
Round Face:
This
face is just that – round and full with few angles. The width
and length are equal. Select a style that makes the face appear
longer. A wide frame with an angular rectangular style is your best
bet. Back to top
The
Diamond Face:
Diamond-shaped
faces have a narrow forehead and jawline with wider cheekbones.
The width and length of the face are equal. Oval or gently curved,
square, rimless glasses will soften the contour of the face. Back

The
Square Face:
A
square face has a strong jawline with a broad forehead. The width
and length of the face are equal. Classic oval frames are a perfect
choice to soften the angles of the face. Back to top
The
Oblong Face:
The
oblong face is longer than it is wide. The jawline is usually the
widest part of the face. Select a design that will shorten the face
to give a more balanced look. Round or square frames are an excellent
choice. Back to top
The
Triangle or Heart-Shaped Face:
This
face has a wider jawline and a narrow forehead. You can soften the
lower portion of the face by accenting the eyes with frames that
are wider at the bottom like aviator or butterfly glasses. Back to top
