How To Choose My Glasses !? 



Are you looking for the perfect pair of glasses for your face shape? Whether you have a round, oval or square-shaped face, there’s a pair out there made just for you! Here’s a guide to help you find the perfect frame according to your face shape.

What is my face shape?

Did you know that most people change their eyeglasses approximately every 3 years? When it’s time to get new glasses, you want to make sure you get the shape right! With so many glasses to choose from, knowing what suits you best can really help in bringing out your unique facial contours. 

Many people change their eyeglasses so seldom because of the expected cost in many retail locations. And lens manufacturers feature products can sometimes break the thousand dollar barrier- no wonder most people try to get the most wear out of each pair of glasses they purchase! 




In order to choose properly, you first need to identify your facial features. There are 5 main categories of face shapes:

  • Square 
  • Round
  • Heart
  • Oval



Glasses for square faces

Since the forehead, cheeks and chin are all equally broad and the jaw tends to be rather pronounced, square faces are often distinctive and angular. Those with this facial shape look great in oval or round glasses, since these soften the angular features. Aviator glasses or models in cat-eye style are flattering on an angular face. Glasses with square frames, on the other hand, emphasise angular faces and are therefore not really recommended unless you are intentionally going for a rather severe-looking style.


Glasses for round faces

In round faces, all features are uniformly shaped. The cheeks and forehead are about the same width, the chin is round and the face has a soft look to it. Rectangular glasses shapes give round faces some contour, lengthen optically and make the face look narrower. Frames should be elegant but not too thin. Avoid round or oval glasses as they will only make the face look rounder.

Glasses for heart-shaped faces

The typical features of the heart-shaped face are a broad forehead, pronounced cheekbones and a narrow, tapering chin. Just about every frame looks good on this face shape. Angled spectacle shapes that are wider towards the top bring a bit of a contour into the face. Above all, oval and round glasses flatter heart-shaped faces and bring them visually into balance. Delicate frames ensure softer contours and a more harmonious appearance. Bright colours and wide frames are rather unfavourable as they underline the heart shape.




Glasses for oval faces

The proportions of oval faces are usually balanced and harmonious. While chin and forehead are rather narrow, the cheeks are more pronounced. The oval face is about twice as long as it is wide. People with this facial shape have it easy to find the perfect pair of glasses. They can wear any style, be it round, angular or bold. It is only necessary to ensure that the glasses are not too big or too small. However, it is best to avoid very narrow frames, as they lengthen the face visually and make it look longer.
