What Glasses Will Suit My Face?

Oblong faces are rectangular in shape. They are long and slender with a straight cheek line and a prominent chin.

• Frames with more depth, such as a bold square shape, will offset the length of your face.
• Decorative details and different colours and textures will add some width to your face.
• Avoid narrow and rectangular frames as they will make your face appear longer.
• To highlight the natural balance of your face, a cat-eye frame with upswept corners will emphasise your cheekbones.

Diamond-shaped faces are the rarest face shape. They have a narrow eye line and jawline with high, dramatic cheekbones.

• Strong detailing will accentuate your eyes and soften the lower portion of your face.
• Small oval frames will soften the angular lines of your face.
• For men, try a metal rectangular frame to contrast your facial features.
• For women, try a cat-eye frame that angles towards the top corner and follows the lines of your face.
• Top-heavy semi-rimless frames will work well to contrast with your cheekbones

Many different kinds of glasses suit square faces. This shape face has a broad, deep forehead, wide jawline and square chin.

• Soften the edges with an oval frame which will also add contrast to your angular features.
• A stylish feminine cat-eye frame will soften your edges and add a bit of flair.
• Avoid thin, angular and square styles as these will draw attention to your chin.
• Complement your face shape with large silhouettes like solid round acetate frames.

This is typically the most versatile of all the face shapes. Heart-shaped faces have a broad forehead and wide cheekbones that narrow down to a small chin. Lots of frames suit heart-shaped faces.

• Choose frames that will provide contrast and balance to your face.
• Frames that are wider at the top than the bottom will add width to the top of your face without exaggerating your cheeks.
• Try light-coloured or rimless frames for something subtle that softens your features.
• Wear oval-shaped glasses as they won’t overemphasise your cheekbones.

People with oval faces suit most frame shapes. Oval faces are well-balanced and softly rounded, with a forehead slightly wider than the jaw, and high cheekbones.

• A cat-eye shape will complement your face's natural lines and add a vintage twist to your look.
• Details on the arms will further define your face shape.
• If you prefer subtle, go for a large, rounded metal frame.
• Or, go bold with a funky colour, texture, or frame shape like a retro-inspired square or round shape made with thick acetate.

A round face is all about curves. Round faces are fairly short with a wide forehead, and often with full cheeks and a rounded chin.

• Balance out your features with a strong brow line. Semi-rimless frames are ideal for achieving this.
• Cat-eye glasses have the ability to add length to your face.
• Sharper edges create angles and have a flattering effect. Choose styles with bold, angular details and clean lines.
