How to Pick the Right Glasses for Your Face Shape

When picking out glasses, it is important to consider your face shape. Do you want to bring attention to your eyes, highlight certain features, or balance features out? Take your time choosing and try on as many frames as you need to before you find the pair you love.

The inverted triangle is widest at the forehead and gradually narrows towards the jaw. It is one of the less common face types. Frames that are slightly wider than your forehead balance out these features nicely.

The oval face shape is structured with the jawline slightly narrower than the forehead. People with oval-shaped faces have balanced features and high cheekbones, which make their frame selection very versatile. Rectangular and square frames pair very well with this shape. Cat eye and aviator provide a bold look.

People with a round facial structure have a circlelike face with full cheeks. Look for frames that will provide contrast to this structure like square frames.

Square-shaped faces have jawlines that are wide and cheekbones that are just as wide, which gives the appearance of a square. Oval and round frames complement these features really well.

The rectangular face shape is longer than it is wide, and has equally wide cheekbones, jawline, and forehead. Thin, round frames that are a little wider than your cheekbones will soften these features.
