What frame shape are you?
An Oval face shape is longer and well-balanced. Most people fall under the oval face shape. The higher cheekbones narrow down to a soft rounded jawline. The measurements of an oval face are greater in length and shorter in width.
Tips:
There’s no frame style that can go wrong for an oval shaped face as your unique attributes are proportionally balanced.
Our Recommended Styles:
Ventus, Buteo, Meru, Luna, Omni, Argo, Thera, Toro, Capra, Aery
A square face shape prominently features a short angular forehead and cheek bones with a sharp jawline that are relatively similar in diameter. The length and width measurements of a square face are proportional.
Tips:
Since square faces are angular, it’s a good idea to opt for rounder frames or short rectangular frames. The contrast will soften your sharp features and make your face look a little longer.
Our Recommended Styles:
A round face shape features soft curved angles on the forehead, cheekbones and jawline that are relatively similar in diameter. The cheeks are full and non-angular. Similar to a square face, the length and width measurements of a round face are proportional.
Tips:
Since round faces are non-angular, it's best to opt for square or rectangular glasses which are wider and balance your curved angles with sharp features. This contrast gives the appearance a slimmer look.
Our Recommended Styles:
An oblong face shape has similar features to an oval face; however, oblong faces tend to be longer, slimmer and less wide. The right frame will help by adding width and break up the length of the face.
Tips:
Frames that have taller lenses or bold browlines will complement oblong faces as it your chin and create a nice balance from the top half and bottom half of your face.
Our Recommended Styles:
A Heart face shape features wide forehead and cheekbones that tapers to a narrow jawline and pointed chin. The frame should balance out the width of the face and draw
Tips:
Select from round or cat-eye shaped glasses as this will help widen the appearance of your chin and create a nice balance from the top half and bottom half of your face.
