HOW TO FIT THE FRAME SHAPE TO YOUR FACE ?

Once you know your face shape, you’ll be able to figure out which frame shape gives your face a natural balance. When choosing frames, the best rule is to choose frames that are the opposite of your facial features. For example, a square or angular face looks great in a round frame, while round faces and softer features benefit from the contrast of a square frame. Contrast is also key to assessing the upper and lower parts of the face. If the top half of your face is wider than the bottom half, then your face should also be the opposite shape, and vice versa. If your features have warm tones, you should lean toward warm shades of red, yellow, orange, brown, chartreuse, and ivory frames. If you have cool skin tones, you should know the blue dominated reds, blues, grays, pinks, purples, teal and magenta. If you have neutral skin, you can pull off almost any color!(same to male and female)

round face


If you want to visually lengthen your face choose glasses with dark frames. They narrow the face and bring its contours closer to an oval shape. To balance your facial proportions, it’s best to choose a frame where the width is greater than the height.

Best for round faces:

Not suitable for round faces:

  • Round glasses
  • Narrow frames
  • Glasses with sharply defined edges
  • Geometrically shaped glasses
  • Glasses with colored lenses
  • Glasses that cover the eyebrows

oval face

Some people think that the oval face is the most balanced of them all, so in this case, the main goal is to not disturb your face’s harmonious proportions. Therefore, you should avoid glasses that look too massive. The frame should be as wide as your face, or a little wider. Make sure that the frame’s upper part is in line with your eyebrows.

Best for oval faces:

Not suitable for oval faces:

  • Glasses with sharply defined edges
  • Glasses that appear too massive
  • Glasses that look too wide
  • Narrow frames

squar face

Sharp-angled rectangular or square frames can “overload” your face’s outlines. Rounded frames will help to visually balance and soften overall facial proportions.

Best for square faces:

  • Large glasses
  • Glasses where the frame width equals the width of your face
  • Glasses with colored frames
  • Glasses with oval, round, or teardrop-shaped frames
  • Frameless glasses
  • “Cat-eye” glasses
  • “Aviators”

Not suitable for square faces:

  • Square frames with sharp corners
  • Small, narrow, and petite frames
  • Glasses where the frame is wider than your face

rectangle face

It’s best to aim to make your face appear visually broader. Go for large, massive-looking glasses. Also, make sure they have transparent lenses and slender frames that match the tone of your skin.

Best for rectangular faces:

Not suitable for rectangular faces:

  • Narrow frames
  • Small glasses
  • Glasses with bright, colorful frames

heart face

Your goal is to balance out the upper part of your face by making the lower part appear bulkier. Massive-looking glasses won’t help: they’ll just add more bulk to the upper part. We advise you to choose glasses where the width equals the width of your face. Opt for a teardrop-shaped design. “Aviators” would be ideal.

Best for heart-shaped faces:

Not suitable for heart-shaped faces:

  • Glasses with large and heavy frames
  • Glasses with sharp, pointy outlines
  • Glasses that cover the eyebrows
  • “Butterfly” glasses or teardrop-shaped glasses
  • “Cat-eye” glasses
  • Glasses with brightly colored frames

triangular face

Your main aim should be to visually broaden the upper half of your face while making the lower half less conspicuous. Choose sunglasses with a large frame and a broad upper part. The lower part shouldn’t have square or sharp outlines.

Best for triangular faces:

Not suitable for triangular faces:

  • “Cat’s eyes” glasses with dark-tinted lenses
  • Glasses with square or rectangular frames
  • Glasses with narrow or small frames
  • Glasses where the lower part has square or sharp-edged outlines
