Understanding your face shape and what frame styles compliment it best will help you choose the most flattering frame for your eyeglasses or sunglasses. As we know, our cheekbones, forehead width and jawline length compose our facial shape. Please stand in front of a mirror and compare our own face shape to the ones we listed below, and discover your ideal style!
For a balanced face shape with soft features and no prominent angles, consider the following tips:
1. Square or Rectangular frames:
to add structure and elongate the face. Frames slightly wider than the face can help visually narrow it.
2. Cat-eye glasses can provide contrast and elongate facial contours, but choose designs that are not overly exaggerated for a natural look.
3. Geometric frames for a unique and stylish appearance, offering excellent decorative effects.
Broad and deep forehead, square chin and wide angular jawline.
1. Round glasses contrast square faces, softening angular contours effectively.
2. Light or bright-colored frames divert attention from heaviness, adding softness and warmth.
3. Frames with patterns, carvings, or metal accents add depth and visual interest, drawing attention away from facial contours and balancing features.
