Here are some tips on how to find the right eyeglasses for your face shape:
If you have an oval shaped face, this means that your face has slightly wider cheekbones and gently narrows at the forehead and jaw. Due to the balanced proportions, an oval face shape is the most versatile to fit.
What to Consider: To maintain the natural balance of your face, look for eyeglasses that are as wide as (or slightly wider than) the broadest part of your face. Glasses that are walnut shaped which are neither too deep nor narrow work best.
Square faces are slightly wider than they are tall, with a strong and sculpted jaw. A square shape face usually has a broad forehead and strong jaw, with the width and length of the face being roughly equal.
What to Consider: If you want your square face to look softer and longer, consider trying on frames that are wider than they are long, narrow style frames, and narrow ovals.
If you have a round face, that means that your face has curved lines and the width and length of your face are roughly in the same proportion, with no sharp angles. People with a round shape face usually have a curved chin and plump cheeks.
What to consider: The best type of eyeglasses for people with round faces are those that are rectangular, as they can help sharpen softer features. Opt for frames that have bold or angular lines and which have a bottom frame that hits just above your cheekbones.
Heart shaped faces are those that are wider at the forehead and which sweep down into a pointed chin. Some heart shaped faces can be long, while others may be rounded.
What to consider: Rounder frames will balance the wider forehead associated with this face shape. You may also consider using thin, light-coloured frames to compliment the unique shape of your face. For men with heart-shaped faces, rimless glasses could be the ideal choice.
