What frames are best for an oval face shape?

Oval is the most versatile face shape — almost any frame style works beautifully. Best frames include rectangular, square, round, cat-eye, and aviator styles. Avoid frames that are too large and overwhelm your features.

What frames are best for a round face shape?

Angular and geometric frames add definition and make a round face appear longer and slimmer. Best frames include rectangular, square, angular, and browline styles. Avoid round or small frames that emphasize the roundness.

What frames are best for a square face shape?

Softer, rounder frames balance a strong jawline and add elegance. Best frames include oval, round, cat-eye, and rimless styles. Avoid square or boxy frames that mirror your natural angles.

What frames are best for a heart-shaped face?

Frames that are wider at the bottom or have low-set temples help balance a wider forehead and narrow chin. Best frames include bottom-heavy frames, oval, rimless, and light-colored frames. Avoid top-heavy frames like cat-eye or decorative browlines.

Find Your Perfect Frame: The Face Shape Guide

Choosing the right eyeglass frames starts with knowing your face shape. Since you can't always try frames on in person, this guide is here to help you shop with confidence — and find a pair you'll absolutely love.

How to Find Your Face Shape

Pull your hair back, look straight into a mirror, and trace the outline of your face. You're looking for the widest point (forehead, cheeks, or jaw) and the overall length vs. width ratio. Most faces fall into one of four shapes:

😊 Oval Face Shape

Features: Balanced proportions, slightly wider forehead, gently narrowing jaw, face length greater than width.

Lucky you — oval is the most versatile face shape. Almost any frame style works beautifully. You can experiment freely with bold, classic, sporty, or trendy styles.

Best frames: Rectangular, square, round, cat-eye, aviator — really anything goes!

Avoid: Frames that are too large and overwhelm your features.

⭕ Round Face Shape

Features: Similar width and length, full cheeks, soft curved jawline, no sharp angles.

Angular and geometric frames add definition and make your face appear longer and slimmer. The goal is contrast — sharp lines against soft curves.

Best frames: Rectangular, square, angular, browline styles.

Avoid: Round or small frames that emphasize the roundness.

⬛ Square Face Shape

Features: Strong jawline, broad forehead, angular features, similar width and length.

Softer, rounder frames balance your bold structure and add elegance. The goal is to soften — curves against angles.

Avoid: Square or boxy frames that mirror your natural angles.

🫀 Heart Face Shape

Features: Wider forehead, high cheekbones, narrow delicate chin.

Frames that are wider at the bottom or have low-set temples help balance your features beautifully. The goal is to draw attention downward.

Best frames: Bottom-heavy frames, oval, rimless, light-colored frames.

Avoid: Top-heavy frames like cat-eye or decorative browlines that add width to an already wide forehead.
