What is my face shape?
It’s likely you have one of the following face shapes: Oval, square, round, heart, or diamond. By taking a peek in the mirror at your facial features, you can determine your face shape. Once you know, you’ll be able to answer the age-old question: Which glasses look good on me?
But remember, the suggestions in this guide aren’t hard and fast rules — when it comes to choosing a frame, you should go with your instincts. Expressing your personal style can be a fun way of bringing out your personality and letting your unique self shine through your frames.
Glasses for all kinds of shapes
The truth about face shapes is that almost no one is a perfect heart, circle, square, or any other narrowly defined category. Most faces are a combination of a few different shapes: Rounded chins and tall foreheads, angular features, tapered jaws, and so on.
Trying to pick just one stock image out of a lineup can feel impossible. What you should do is aim to find the shape that looks the most like yours. Even if your chin is a little more pointed than the “typical” oval, or if your forehead is a little wider than the “usual” inverted triangle — these are all just guidelines to help you determine how to balance and complement your features, not unbreakable rules.
Once you’ve recognized your face shape, you can find which frame shape will bring a natural balance to your features. This guide will help identify the type of glasses for face shapes you might consider when browsing our range.
Which glasses shapes suit oval faces?
Glasses for oval faces
People with oval faces fit with most frame shapes. A face with an oval shape features higher and slightly wider cheekbones that are slightly narrower towards the forehead. This long, rounded face shape allows you to pull off almost any style — especially oversized and wide frames.
With an oval face shape, feel free to go bold with a funky color, texture or frame shape. Square, trapezoid, tortoise, and rectangular — the possibilities are endless! Our only advice is to steer clear of narrow frames and frames with heavy design elements. They might add a bit of unnecessary length to your oval face. But considering this is the most universal face shape, have fun with the latest trends — and remember, these are only suggestions! Always wear what makes you feel best.
As for sunglasses for your oval face shape — have fun with your eyewear choices! Dare to be bold with a statement-making style, like a fierce cat-eye or an edgy pair of aviators. Or keep it cool and classic with a more basic look like an iconic D-frame.
