How to Choose Your Frames by Face Shape

Selecting the right frames can feel overwhelming, especially as a first-time patient. Here’s a refined guide from trusted sources to help you narrow your options—and don't worry, our team is always happy to assist you in person.

Square Face

Angular features and strong jawlines call for softening armatures. Opt for round or oval frames with thinner rims to add balance and lengthen the look of your face. 

Round Face

To add structure and contrast, choose rectangular, square, or geometric frames—they introduce angles that define your features beautifully.

Oval Face

Lucky you—most frames flatter an oval face. Bold shapes and colors can amplify your natural symmetry. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Heart-Shaped Face

Heart-shaped faces benefit from frames wider than the forehead, with details on the lower half. Aviator, rectangular, or rimless styles in lighter tones can soften your features. :contentReference

Diamond Face

If your cheekbones are the widest part of your face with a narrow forehead and jawline, consider cat-eye, oval, or browline frames to highlight your eyes and soften angles. :contentReference

General Frame Shopping Tips

• Choose frames proportionate to your face—don’t let them be too wide or narrow.
• Contrast your face shape for balance—angular frames for round faces, softer frames for angular faces. 
• Virtually try frames or use fitting tools to preview how styles look on your face.
