When choosing glasses that suit your face, it is important to consider your face shape. Here are some tips from various sources:
-
Round face: Look for frames that add angles and create balance. Rectangular frames and angular/geometric frames with bold, angular details and clean lines can make your face appear longer and thinner. Wide, rectangular frames or frames with thick browlines can add eye-catching angularity.
-
Square face: Choose frames with curves that soften your features without competing with them. Frames that are wider than the middle of your face and sit fairly elevated on your nose can complement your strong jawline from above.
-
Oval face: Proportionally balanced oval faces will look good in almost any frame style. Round glasses, oval glasses, aviator glasses, and semi-rimless glasses are recommended.
-
Heart-shaped face: Look for frames that balance the width of your forehead with the narrowness of your chin. Bottom-heavy frames, such as aviators or cat-eye glasses, can help balance your face.
-
Diamond-shaped face: Top-heavy browline frames can work well to contrast with your cheekbones. Retro-inspired square or round shapes made with thick acetate can also be a good choice.
Its also important to consider your personal style and preferences. Don't be afraid to try on different styles and see what looks best on you. Some websites, such as Warby Parker and Zenni Optical, offer quizzes to help you find the right frames for your face shape and style.
