How Can I Tell My Face Shape?

Stand in front of a mirror and look at the outline of your face.

Ask yourself:

  • Is your face longer than it is wide?
  • Is your jawline sharp or soft?
  • Is your forehead wider than your chin?

These small details will help you identify your face shape and choose better frames.

Best Glasses for an Oval Face

If your face looks balanced and slightly longer than it is wide, you probably have an oval face shape.

Frames that work well:

  • Square frames
  • Rectangle frames
  • Bold or oversized frames

Try not to choose very small or narrow frames because they can make your face look longer.

Best Glasses for a Round Face

Round faces usually have soft edges and fuller cheeks. The goal is to add structure.

Frames that look best:

  • Square frames
  • Rectangle frames
  • Geometric styles
  • Cat-eye frames

Avoid round frames because they make the face appear even rounder.

Best Glasses for a Square Face

If you have a strong jawline and a wider face, you may have a square face shape.

Frames that suit this shape:

  • Round frames
  • Oval frames
  • Thin metal frames
  • Frames with soft curves

These styles help soften the strong angles of the face.

These frames help create a balanced look.
