WHAT ARE THE BEST GLASSES FOR MY FACE SHAPE?

The Round Face Shape

The round face has a wide forehead, full cheeks, and a rounded chin. It’s easily identifiable from its circular appearance and the absence of strong lines and angles. When choosing glasses for your round face, aim for styles that add contrast to your face’s natural curves, and avoid frames that exaggerate the roundness of it. By adding contrast, you’ll make your round face appear thinner and longer.


Choose frames as wide as they are tall to create the illusion of a slimmer face. Glasses with strong angles and lines will add definition to your face and downplay the fullness in your cheeks. Look for vibrant prints, patterns, and colors, and statement-making embellishments that add contrast; a clear or thin bridge will make your eyes appear wider. Finally, choose a style with adjustable nose pads to keep the frames from resting directly on your cheeks.

YOU HAVE
  • Prominent jawline
  • Angular features
  • Wide forehead
LOOK FOR
  • Round or swept shapes
  • Thinner frames
  • Neutral colors

The Oval Face Shape

Many consider an oval face the ideal shape because its proportions are balanced, with a narrow forehead, high cheekbones, and a narrow chin. The glasses wearer with an oval face should choose frames as wide as or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. Glasses with detailed embellishments also look great with the high cheekbones typical of an oval face.

Just about any pair of eyeglasses will flatter your oval face. Choose a retro cat-eye, a square, or a round frame with on-trend details; or opt for the classic and versatile rectangular silhouette to flaunt a sophisticated, professional look. Really, anything goes—the only tip for the glasses wearer with an oval face is to resist detracting from the natural balance of your features. Your proportions are already even, so consider carefully when choosing oversized frames.

YOU HAVE
  • Broad forehead
  • Pointed, narrow chin
  • High cheekbones
LOOK FOR
  • Frames wider than forehead
  • Details on lower half
  • Light colors

The Oblong Face Shape

An oblong face is long and slender, and may have high cheekbones, a long nose, and a tall forehead. Choosing frames with tall rims will help create balanced proportions on an oblong face. Also, broad rims with color-accented tops or decorative temples will help add width to your oblong face.

YOU HAVE
  • Long, slender face
  • Long nose and high cheekbones
  • Tall forehead
LOOK FOR
  • Tall rims
  • Wide rims with colorful tops
  • Decorative temples

The Diamond Face Shape

Characterized by broad, distinctive cheekbones, parallel narrow eye lines, and narrow jawlines, the diamond face shape is the rarest of all. Somewhat similar to the heart-shaped face shape because of its full cheeks, the diamond-shaped face is actually a silhouette all its own. Once you’ve identified this shape as yours, focus on eyeglasses with angular, edgy elements to complement the angular features of your face. This will soften the cheekbones and draw attention directly to your eyes. Wider frames will balance your look and lend a dramatic, stylish touch to your features. Avoid narrow eyeglass frames, as they will further emphasize your narrow eye line.

YOU HAVE
  • Narrow, parallel eyes
  • Broad, full cheeks
  • Narrow jawline
LOOK FOR
  • Wide rims
  • Frames with angular lines
  • Top-heavy semi-rimless styles
