How To Find The Best Frame
For Your Face
Some of you may be asking yourselves, "How do I know which frame is best for my face?"
Don't worry, we're here to help!
In order to determine the best frame for your face, you must first identify your face shape. In general, there are 5 main categories of face shapes:
- Oval: Wider cheekbones and slight narrowing at forehead and jaw
- Circle: Short with wider cheekbones and forehead, with softer rounder angles
- Heart: Widest at the brow, narrowing down to the chin with high cheekbones
- Square: Angular with equally wide cheekbones, forehead, and jaw
- Triangle: Widest at jaw, narrowing down through to forehead
- Oval - This is considered the most universal and versatile face shape, however you still want to pick a frame that emphasizes the strongest points and deemphasizes the weakest to achieve the most balanced look possible. For the Oval, this means adding angles to your natural curves, making the most suitable frames for oval faces square, rectangular, or geometric shapes.
- Circle - Like the oval face, the circle or round face has natural curves that look best with more angular shapes. This is because rectangular frames break up the face structure, making the face seem longer and narrower, whereas a rounder frame will only emphasize the circular shape, something that is not the most attractive. For those with fuller cheeks, upswept frames, such as the cat-eye or D-frame, draw attention to them while also placing the focus on the eyes.
- Heart - This shape is one of the most versatile, looking best in winged out frames and rounded bases to balance and compliment their features. These include bottom heavy frames, low set temples, oval shaped frames (which can draw attention from a pointed chin upward toward your eyes), and light colored or rimless frames, which minimize the look of glasses.
- Square - It's best to soften the sharp angles of the square face shape by drawing attention away from them with rounder and thinner frames. The best way to flatter the features of a square face is to draw attention away from angles with softer, colored frames.
- Triangle - This shape is widest at the bottom and narrowest on the top, so the opposite is desired in a frame. This means choosing a frame that is bold on top, and light on the bottom. The best shapes for the triangle are D-frames, aviator, and cat-eye.
