Buying new glasses? Here’s one thing that makes all the difference: the shape of your face. The right pair can highlight your best features, create visual balance, and boost your overall look—from casual to professional to fashion-forward.
This guide from Eyewearandco.com helps you match your frame style to your face shape—with images to make it super simple.
📸 Identify Your Face Shape
Look into a mirror and trace your face outline (yes, with lipstick or soap!). Or better—use our visual guide:
Now, let’s match your shape to the frames that flatter it most.
💠 1. Oval Face
Traits: Balanced proportions, slightly curved jawline, wider cheekbones.
Best Frames: Lucky you—almost every style suits oval faces! Go for bold shapes like square, round, geometric, or cat-eye to add personality.
Avoid: Frames that are too oversized and cover your natural balance.
🛍️ Eyewearandco Pick: Lightweight metal rectangles or modern transparent frames.
⬜ 2. Square Face
Traits: Strong jawline, broad forehead, equal width across face.
Best Frames: Round, oval, or curved frames to soften your features. Try rimless or thin frames for a refined look.
Avoid: Boxy or angular styles—they exaggerate sharpness.
🛍️ Eyewearandco Pick: Classic browline or round metal frames.
🔺 3. Heart-Shaped Face
Traits: Broad forehead, high cheekbones, narrow chin.
Best Frames: Bottom-heavy frames, aviators, or thin round styles balance the face. Soft curves work best.
Avoid: Overly decorative top-heavy frames.
🛍️ Eyewearandco Pick: Minimalist oval or thin cat-eye frames.
⏹️ 4. Round Face
Traits: Full cheeks, rounded chin, equal width and length.
Best Frames: Angular shapes like square, rectangle, or wayfarer. Sharp lines add structure and lengthen the face.
Avoid: Small round frames—they can make your face appear even rounder.
🛍️ Eyewearandco Pick: Matte-finish squares or geometric designs.
🔷 5. Diamond Face
Traits: Narrow forehead and chin, high cheekbones.
Best Frames: Cat-eye, oval, or top-heavy frames to draw attention upward and balance proportions.
Avoid: Thin or narrow frames that exaggerate cheekbone width.
🛍️ Eyewearandco Pick: Bold cat-eye or semi-rimless designs.
🔻 6. Triangle (Base Down) Face
Traits: Wide jawline, narrow forehead.
Best Frames: Styles with detail on the upper half—like browline, cat-eye, or semi-rimless. This draws focus upward.
Avoid: Bottom-heavy frames that exaggerate jaw width.
🛍️ Eyewearandco Pick: Brow-accented frames with gradient colors.
👓 Final Style Tips
✅ Always align the frame width with your face width
✅ Let your eyebrows sit comfortably above the frame line
✅ If in doubt—go neutral: black, clear, or tortoise always work
