Not sure what glasses suit your face shape?

Whether you’re choosing a pair of glasses for everyday wear or sunglasses for when the sun strikes, your face shape is probably one of the most important aspects to consider when it comes to fit and style.

But where do you start exactly? And how do you ensure that you’re picking glasses for your face shape that you’ll still love in the months to come?

Discover our easy-to-follow guide on how to find the best glasses to suit your face shape below.

Round face shape

Do you have a round face shape? If so, you’ll notice that your face is characterised by a wide hairline and fuller cheekbones.

To compliment this shape, a good place to start would be to try a style that lengthens the look of your curved features. Rectangular glasses are a great option if you have this face shape.

Oval face shape

For those with an oval face shape, you’ll notice that your jaw is naturally narrower than your cheekbones. However, the oval face shape is usually quite proportionate and tends to suit many styles.

For the perfect fit, we recommend an oversized style such as retro frames or a geometric shape.

Square face shape

Think you’ve got a square face shape? An easy way to check is by checking to see if you have a wide hairline and jawline. Longer length styles tend to look better on glasses wearers with this face shape as it can immediately balance out your features.

For glasses wearers who have this face shape, we would recommend a classic oval frame or a cat eye style that will naturally lift the eyes.

Heart face shape

If you have a heart face shape, you might have a wider forehead and a narrow chin. This face shape is often characterised by soft and straight lines and can be more adaptable to other styles.

To compliment this shape, we would recommend a simple fit like a cat eye or aviator style.

Triangle face shape

If you have a triangle face shape, your features will be characterised by a small or narrow forehead with a larger jawline.

Longer frames can help balance out the prominence of the jawline so in this case, we would recommend a rectangular or a cat eye style.

Diamond face shape

The diamond face shape also works well with numerous styles. This face shape is characterised by a narrow chin and forehead with wide cheekbones.

For those with this face shape, try one of our oval frames or alternatively, a cat eye style is another great alternative!
