The right frames complement your face shape, highlight your best features, and feel like they were made for you. Use this guide to discover which styles suit you best.
Balanced proportions with a slightly narrower forehead and jaw. The most versatile face shape.
Try: Rectangular, square, or cat-eye frames
Avoid: Oversized frames that overwhelm your balance
Full cheeks with similar width and length. Forehead and jawline are rounded with soft angles.
Try: Angular and rectangular frames to add definition
Avoid: Small round frames that emphasize the circle
Strong jawline with a broad forehead. Face width and length are roughly equal with angular features.
Try: Round and oval frames to soften strong angles
Avoid: Boxy frames that mirror your jawline
Wider forehead narrowing to a pointed chin. Cheekbones are typically the widest part.
Try: Bottom-heavy frames like aviator-style glasses or low-set cat-eye
Avoid: Top-heavy frames that widen the forehead
Longer than wide with a long straight cheek line. Forehead, cheeks, and jaw are similar width.
Try: Wide frames that add width — oversized or decorative styles
Avoid: Narrow frames that make your face look longer
Narrow forehead and jawline with wide, dramatic cheekbones. The rarest face shape.
Try: Cat-eye or oval-shaped frames that highlight cheekbones
Avoid: Narrow or boxy frames that compete with cheekbones
Stand in front of a mirror and pull your hair back. Look at three things: (1) Is your face wider or longer? (2) Is your jawline angular or rounded? (3) Is your forehead wider or narrower than your jaw? The answers point you to your shape above.
