Are you ever wondering whether or not a frame will suit your face? Considering the wide variety of styles available (we have over 1000! ), selecting the perfect pair may prove challenging, but did you know that one of the most important factors to consider when choosing the right pair is the shape of your face? Certain types of glasses frames are more suited to certain types of faces. There are seven commonly occurring face shapes.
What is the best way to determine the shape of my face?
If you want to determine what your face shape is, you should stand in front of a mirror without your hair in your face and compare it to the shapes listed in our guide. If you do not wish to use lipstick, it is possible to draw the outline of your face on the mirror. Despite its unconventional nature, it is a successful approach.
We recommend that you take a look at our Face Shape Guide, compare your own face shape with the ones listed, and determine which style is most appropriate for you.
Shape of the face: oval
- A person with an oval face has a long, straight cheek line and a lengthier face than they are wide. In the case of this face shape, the following considerations should be taken into consideration:
-
It is recommended that you do not wear narrow or rectangular frames that will make your face appear longer.
-
In addition to adding some width to your face, decorative details and contrasting temples are also useful. The frames of ted baker are a great example of the use of mixed colours and textures. You should choose frames that have a greater depth to offset the length of your face, such as square frames that are masculine and bold.
-
The perfect complement to your cheekbones will be something feminine with upswept corners that emphasizes the natural balance of your face.
diamond-shaped face
- The diamond shape is characterized by narrow eyelines and jawlines as well as high and dramatic cheekbones. The following recommendations should be considered if you have this face shape:
- With oval frames, the angular lines of your face are softened, giving the illusion that you have a small, neat face.
- If you are a man, perhaps you would benefit from wearing a rectangular frame to contrast with your facial features?
- Consider frames that are angled towards the top corner and follow the lines of your face, such as a feminine cat-eye style.
A square-shaped face
- There are several distinctive characteristics of a square face such as its broad forehead, deep jaw line, and square chin. The following considerations should be taken into account if you have this face shape:

A face like a heart
- A Heart face shape is characterized by a broad forehead, wide cheekbones, and a narrow chin. The key to choosing the right frames for you is to choose ones that provide contrast and balance to your face. This face shape should be considered if you have the following characteristics:
