The human face comes in all beautiful shapes and sizes. In the same fashion as a well-tailored suit, eyewear should compliment the wearer. The perfect-fitting frames will be comfortable, flattering and more effective at helping to keep the sun out of your eyes, while simultaneously aiding your vision. We’re sure you’ll rock your pair with confidence regardless but if you’re struggling to decide which type of frames would best suit your specific face shape then we hope that our fit guide will nudge you in the right direction.

Oval Face Shape

Those of us that were blessed with oval shaped heads, need not worry too much about specific frame shapes when deciding upon your next purchase. This is because most frames look fantastic on you! Whether you’re going for the sporty, bold, trendy, masculine or elegant look, you’re always winning. Just make sure you don’t go so big on the frames that you drown out your beautifully proportional features. On the other end of the spectrum going too small will not do your face shape the justice it deserves neither, as an oval face is often longer than it is wide.

Round Face Shape

Round faces are commonly associated with being more smiley and easily approachable, but we digress slightly. Your soft balanced features are well suited to more angular, boxy frames. As this group usually have a shorter face length with a narrower cheek and jaw line, frames with sharper lines would be the pick of the bunch because they draw out and elongate your face.

Rectangle / Oblong Face Shape

Rectangular face shapes sometimes referred to as oblong are longer than they are wide, with a long and straight cheek line. Wider and sometimes oversized glasses with thick frames really suit rectangular faces. The wideness will make your longer face appear shorter and wider – for the perfect contrast to your physical features. Expect to break necks (metaphorically speaking of course) in classic wayfarer frames – you’re most welcome!

Heart-Shaped Face

Heart-shaped faces are defined by their broader foreheads and a narrower jaw line. The general rule of thumb is that frames with softer edges work well with face shapes that have stronger angles such as this one. However, we’re also aware that going against the grain can sometimes bring the best results. As such frames that have a larger width at the top than they do at the bottom like the cat eye or sporty frames can work wonders.

Square Face Shape

Square face shapes have a very similar length and width throughout the face. This group are typically categorised as having a broad forehead and similarly a strong jaw line. People with square shaped faces look great in round or oval shaped frames or glasses with rimless edges. These frame shapes help to smoothen out the sharp features that characterise your face for a more balanced look – no out of the box thinking here!
