Face Shape Guide
ABOUT ROUND FACE SHAPE
This face type has a soft, round jawline, that's almost circular. Its overall width is mostly the same as its length. The cheekbones are often this face shape's widest part, and people with round faces usually have full cheeks as well. Round faces have round hairlines and broad foreheads, with almost the same area ratio as the curved line of their jaw. Round faces tend to appear wider and shorter.
WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN A FRAME?
For round face shapes, rectangular, trapezoid, and geometric frames are recommended. These styles feature sharp angles to balance the soft round features, adding contrast and definition.

When selecting frames for a square face shape, it's best to choose styles that help soften the angles and add some curves to the face. Round, oval, and cat-eye frames are highly recommended as they can counterbalance the strong jawline and add a sense of gentleness.

ABOUT OVAL FACE SHAPES
The oval face shape is considered to be the most versatile and balanced facial structure. It features balanced proportions, with gently rounded and slightly curved lines. The forehead is slightly wider than the chin, and the cheekbones are usually the widest part of the face. Oval faces have a natural symmetry and can carry off a wide variety of frame styles.
WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN A FRAME?
If you have an oval face shape, consider yourself lucky as you can pull off almost any frame style! Oval faces have the flexibility to experiment with different shapes, sizes, and designs. You can opt for rectangular or square frames to add angles and definition to your facial features, or try round frames to enhance the natural curves of your face. Additionally, cat-eye and geometric-shaped frames can also complement the graceful contours of an oval face.

If your face is particularly angular, you can soften these features by trying oval, cat-eye or aviator glasses. Frames that are wider at the bottom can also balance out the narrow shape of the chin. Frameless or thin frames are also highly recommended for this face type.

ABOUT OBLONG FACE SHAPES

For the oblong face shape, frames that accentuate width and soften the length of the face are recommended. Consider the following frame styles: longer frames to balance the face shape, square, trapezoid, and browline frames to add visual interest and width, and oversized frames for a bold look.

Choose oval or cat-eye frames to balance out your face's features. The soft edges of these frames will perfectly contrast and compliment your face frame. Horn-rimmed glasses can also balance out the diamond shape of your face by emphasizing on your browline and top of your face.
