Finding Frames: How to Choose the Right Eyewear for Your Face Shape

Your glasses not only help you see clearly; they can also enhance your facial features and style. Choosing the perfect pair of glasses involves considering various factors, with your face shape being one of the most important. Different face shapes complement different styles of frames, so understanding your face shape can guide you to the most flattering options.

Here's a guide to help you find the right eyewear for your face shape:

Identify Your Face Shape

Before diving into frame styles, determine your face shape. Common face shapes include round, oval, square and heart.

Round Faces

Consider rectangular or angular styles to add definition and balance. Round faces can also suit cat-eyes or wayfarer styles which can help create the illusion of angles to elongate your face. Avoid round or small frames, as they may further accentuate the roundness of your face.

Oval Faces

Oval faces suit almost any glasses style with ease. Look for colours that complement your features and skin tone. Whether you prefer daring statement frames or subtle rimless designs, your choices are limitless.

Square Faces

Square faces have strong jawlines and equally wide cheekbones and forehead. Frames with rounded looks can soften your angles. Rimless or semi-rimless frames can also complement square faces by minimising the appearance of sharp lines.

Heart Faces

Heart-shaped faces are characterised by a wider forehead and cheekbones that taper down to a narrower chin. To balance the width of your forehead and draw attention downward. Cat-eye or butterfly-shaped frames can accentuate your cheekbones, while bottom-heavy frames add width to the lower face.

Express Your Style

While it's important to consider your face shape when choosing your frames, don't be forget that it is also about finding a pair of glasses that you love. Your glasses are an expression of who you are. Whether you prefer classic sophistication or colourful designs, the perfect pair of glasses can complete your look and make a lasting impression.
