Which frame shape suits your face?
Face shapes, and the frame that balances each one β with the models we stock for it.
The rule behind every recommendation below is the same one opticians use: contrast wins. A soft, round face looks sharper in an angular frame; a strong, square jaw softens behind a rounded one. Everything else is preference.
Round face
Wider than it is angular, with full cheeks and a soft chin. Rectangular and square frames add definition, and a slightly wider frame makes the face look longer. Avoid small round frames β they echo the shape instead of balancing it.
Try: Aero 1795, Patrol 2341, Velocity 4005.
Square face
A broad forehead and a strong jaw. Round and oval frames soften those angles, and a frame that sits slightly above the cheekbone keeps the face open.
Try: Blossom 3992, Lumen 2325.
Oval face
Balanced proportions, so almost anything works. Keep the frame as wide as the widest part of the face and you cannot go far wrong.
Try: Vertex 2405, Meridian 2327, Sovereign 2520.
Heart-shaped face
Wide at the forehead, narrow at the chin. Frames that are wider at the bottom, or light rimless-looking styles, even the proportions out.
Try: Meridian 2327, Blossom 3992.
The measurement that matters most
Frame width. If the frame is narrower than your face the temples press; wider and it slides. Measure your current pair across the front in millimetres and compare β we list that number on every product page.
