Selecting the perfect eyeglass frames can elevate your features and showcase your personality. With an array of face shapes, the key is to choose frames that complement your natural contours. Let’s navigate the process of discovering the ideal frames tailored to your unique face shape.
Oval Face Shape
If your face boasts an oval shape, you’re in for a treat! Recognized as the ideal face shape for its balanced proportions, almost any frame style will enhance your features. To maintain this natural harmony, opt for frames as wide as (or wider than) the broadest part of your face. Experiment with geometric shapes (Rectangle or Square) and vibrant colors for a captivating contrast to your soft curves.
Round Face Shape
For those with a round face, the aim is to introduce definition. Choose frames that are wider than they are tall to elongate your face. Angular and rectangular frames work wonders in sharpening soft edges and achieving balance. Steer clear of round frames that may accentuate the inherent roundness of your face.
Square Face Shape
A square face shape calls for softening the strong jawline and forehead. Ideal frames sit high on the nose, adding length for a harmonious balance. Prioritize frames that are more horizontal than vertical, and explore oval or round frames to soften angular lines and create a more relaxed aesthetic.
Heart-Shaped Face
Heart-shaped faces, characterized by a broad forehead and narrow chin, benefit from frames that balance these distinct features. Opt for light-colored or rimless frames with a lower-set temple. Frames with a wider bottom than the top contribute to adding width to the lower part of your face.
Long Face Shape
A long face shape benefits from frames that break up its length, creating a shorter and more balanced appearance. Horizontal lines and decorative or contrasting temples aid in achieving this effect. Consider deeper, oversized frames or a bold, square design to add width and enhance your facial proportions.
