Finding the perfect pair of eyeglasses isn’t just about prescription – it’s about finding frames that complement your unique face shape.
This guide will help you identify your face shape and select frames that enhance your natural features.
Step 1: Determine Your Face Shape
Stand in front of a mirror and trace the outline of your face (or take a selfie and trace it). Compare it to these common shapes:
Oval Face
Characteristics: Balanced proportions, slightly wider cheekbones, gently rounded jawline.
Best Frames: Most frame shapes work well! Try rectangular, Square, or Cateye frames.
Round Face
Characteristics: Equal width and length, full cheeks, soft angles.
Best Frames: Angular frames (rectangular, square) to add definition. Avoid round frames.
Square Face
Characteristics: Strong jawline, broad forehead, angular features.
Best Frames: Round or oval frames to soften angles. Try aviators or rimless styles.
Heart-Shaped Face
Characteristics: Broad forehead, high cheekbones, narrow chin.
Best Frames: Bottom-heavy frames, cat-eyes, or round frames to balance proportions.
Diamond Face
Characteristics: Narrow forehead and jawline with wide cheekbones.
Best Frames: Oval or cat-eye frames that emphasize the eyes and soften cheekbones.
Step 2: Consider These Additional Factors
Frame Size
Ensure the frame size is proportional to your face. Frames shouldn’t extend beyond the width of your face.
Color Selection
Choose frame colors that complement your skin tone. Warm skin tones look great in gold, tortoise, or warm colors, while cool tones shine in silver, black, or jewel tones.
Lifestyle Needs
Consider your daily activities. Active individuals might prefer durable materials like titanium or flexible frames.
