Continue reading to learn how to find the ideal glasses for your face shape and why trying on our carefully curated selection could be the best decision you can make.
Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing Glasses
Your face shape serves as a blueprint for selecting the right glasses. Certain frame styles can enhance your natural features, while others might clash with your proportions. Understanding your face shape can help you find frames that not only improve your vision but also complement your unique look.
The key is balance. Ideally, your glasses should complement your face shape while maintaining proportion and symmetry.
Identifying Your Face Shape in 3 Simple Steps
First things first, how do you determine your face shape? Here are 3 quick steps:
- Take a look in the mirror: Pull your hair back and check the shape of your face’s outline. Does it look more round, square, heart-shaped, oval, or diamond? Outline your reflection in the mirror with lipstick or an erasable marker to get a more exact view of your face shape.
- Consider your features: Are your cheekbones prominent? Is your jawline angular or soft? These details help refine your face shape category. Glasses can help draw attention to or away from certain facial features.
- Grab a measuring tape: For extra precision, measure the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. Compare these measurements to determine which shape category best suits you.
Once you’ve identified your face shape, it’s time to find the frames that’ll highlight your uniquely beautiful features.
Trendy Frames for Every Face Shape
To make your decision easier, here’s a breakdown of trendy glasses styles suited for each face shape.
Round Face Shape
A round face shape typically has soft, curved lines and equal width and height. Go for angular frames that add definition and contrast. Rectangle, square, and bold geometric shapes can create a sleek, balanced look. Cat-eye frames are a particularly trendy choice right now, offering a playful, feminine flair.
Square Face Shape
Strong jawlines, broad foreheads, and angular lines define square faces. Round or oval-shaped glasses can soften the angles of your face and bring balance. Thin, rimless frames are also a subtle and sophisticated option.
Heart Shape Face
Heart-shaped faces feature broad foreheads, high cheekbones, and narrow chins. Look for frames that add width to the lower part of your face. Aviator styles, rimless frames, and styles with soft curves work beautifully for heart-shaped faces.
Oval Face Shape
Oval faces are well-balanced, with slightly wider cheekbones and gentle narrowing at the forehead and jawline. Oval faces can pull off almost any style. Have fun experimenting with bold shapes, oversized frames, and vibrant colors. You can get creative here without fear of imbalance.
Diamond Shape Face
Diamond faces feature narrow foreheads and chins with more width at the cheekbones. Frames that draw attention to your eyes and soften your cheekbones, such as oval or rimless styles, are ideal for enhancing your appearance. Cat-eye shapes also create a flattering, elegant look for a diamond-shaped face.
