The Best Glasses Based On Your Face Shape

It’s one thing to look at a pair of eyeglasses and think you like them.  That’s the easy part.  Sometimes the tough part is figuring out if the frames you like would actually look good on you based on the shape of your face.  While it’s always your best bet to go and try them on in-store, some brands allow you to order  a variety of glasses to try on at home and just send back the ones you don’t like.  But first it’s important to try and narrow down your selection, so below is a little handy-dandy guide to help you decipher which glasses are best for you based on your face shape.  It’s not the gospel, but just a cheat-sheet, if you will.

Round Face:  First things first, a round face does not = fat.  It could (of course) but we’re talking about the width and the height being the same.  Typically, you’ll find yourself having slightly bigger cheeks, a curvier chin, and a wider forehead.  Embrace all those dimensions and go for a pair of glasses that are more rectangular in shape.  They’ll help to make your face appear a bit thinner and longer.  And go for frames that have a bit of an uptick to them in the corners because it’ll help to raise your cheek appearance.

Oval Face:  Well lucky you.  You have an oval shaped face.  This means that, pretty much, any style frames are going to look perfect on you.  Yawn.  Oval faced peeps are typically categorized having faces that are taller than wide.  We recommend going with square or rectangular frames to add some contrast.  You should stay away from eyeglasses that are too small or too large.  If something is going to wrap around your face, you’ll probably want to stay away from those.

Square Face:  If you’re ever called a ‘Blockhead’ we feel your pain.  Those of us who are square faced typically have a strong (square) jawline and forehead (and your chin will angle out).  Basically, you’re like a Superman cartoon.  In order to balance out your leading-man looking face we recommend minimal frames that are typically round (like circular frames).  Thin metal wires will look great.  We’re not saying you can’t go for the thicker acetate frames (you do you), but you may want to pass on them.

Heart-Shaped Face:  This one is easy to decipher.  Your face is, literally, shaped like a heart (sort of).  You’ll have a wider forehead, high cheekbones, and a more narrow chin.  Sometimes those of us with heart-shaped faces have a more difficult time finding frames that fit our face correctly.  Your best bet is to do with round or circular frames because it’ll really help to balance out your face (hello wider forehead!).
