Before we start playing fashion stylist, here's a little secret... No, it's not forbidden to wear whichever glasses you like! Some frame styles may suit your face shape better than others, but if you have a square face and still want to wear rectangular glasses, go for it! We promise the fashion police won't come chasing you to make you wear round frames.

Still want to know which frame shape is most likely to suit you? Whether you have a square, round, diamond, or heart-shaped face, we've got all the tips you need to choose your perfect pair of glasses.

1 - Identify Your Face Shape

To find glasses that truly suit you, the first step is identifying your face shape. Many people struggle to define it accurately. So, take thirty seconds to stand in front of a mirror. Ready? Take a moment to admire yourself... then pull your hair back so you can clearly see the outline of your face.

Your face can be divided into three sections:

Now answer the following questions:

Case #1

Case #2

Case #3

If you're still unsure, you can also determine your face shape using a passport-style photo or any straight-on picture of yourself. Your face should be fully visible, facing the camera, and free from distortion.

Round Face: Go for Angular Frames!

All three sections of the face are rounded and have similar widths.

To balance softer features, choose angular frames. Rectangular and hexagonal glasses are perfect options.

Of course, round frames aren't off-limits if you want to embrace and highlight your naturally rounded features.

Oval Face: Lucky You!

The forehead and chin are slightly narrower, giving the face a softly rounded shape.

Often considered the most versatile face shape, almost every frame style suits you. Shapes, colors, materials—you really are spoiled for choice!

That said, you can still enhance your natural balance by choosing the right colors and materials.

If you have fair skin and light hair, opt for warmer frame colors to bring warmth to your complexion.

If you have thick eyebrows, thinner metal frames are often a better choice, as they won't make your features appear too heavy.

Square or Rectangular Face: Soften or Enhance Your Features

All three sections have similar widths, giving your face strong, angular features.

If you'd like to emphasize those features, choose square or rectangular frames.

Prefer to soften them? Go for oval, round, cat-eye, or panto frames. Thin metal frames can also help elongate the face.

Frames that are slightly taller than they are wide also help soften facial lines and create better balance.

Triangle Face

Your forehead is narrower than your jawline, making the lower part of your face wider.

A triangle-shaped face becomes wider around the cheeks and jaw, with the chin appearing broader than the forehead.

Your frames should draw attention upward while visually reducing the width of the lower face. Oval, round, or cat-eye frames work particularly well. You can also play with colors to highlight the upper part of your face.

Inverted Triangle (Heart-Shaped) Face

An inverted triangle face features a broad forehead and a narrower jawline. To visually reduce the width of the forehead, choose frames that are slightly wider at the bottom. Light-colored frames can also brighten your features and soften your overall look.

2 - Remember: Glasses Are Above All for Your Eyes!

Always choose a frame that suits your prescription. If you're moderately or highly short-sighted, ask for thinner lenses. Otherwise, thicker lenses may become very noticeable in slim frames. Also, make sure your eyes are well centered within each lens.

One final tip: if there's only one thing to remember from this article, it's to choose a frame that sits below your eyebrows. Your eyebrows should remain visible above the frame—not through the lenses.

If you've spent hours in front of the mirror and still can't decide which pair suits you best, ask your optician. They're trained to help you find glasses that complement both your features and your personality.
