Round Face

A round face has soft features with little definition. It is shorter than the oval face and has a more rounded jaw line. If you have a round face it is best to avoid circular frames or styles that are narrow, as they will only emphasise the roundness of your face. Instead look for styles that are more angular such as square or rectangular frames.

Oval Face

An oval face is evenly proportioned and softly rounded but slightly longer than a round face and has a gentle jaw line. This is the face shape that is likely to suit the greatest variety of shapes so you can really take your time to enjoy trying on a broad selection of frames and seeing which work for you. In general, you look best in more angular frames but a lot of styles suit so you can be adventurous with shapes and sizes!

Square Face

A square face shape has straighter lines and is shorter and often wider than a rectangular face. It also often has a distinctive jaw line. Look for frames with slightly curved edges rather than straight lines as this should soften the overall look; detail or heaviness at the top is good too as this will draw the eye up and add length to the face.

Rectangular face
A rectangular face is longer than the square face and often with more chiselled cheek bones. The chin and cheek are similar in width but the facial length is far greater. You should go for a softer frame to soften the features. Decorated and contrasting temples help as they draw attention to the side of the face, which gives the illusion of width and detracts from the length.
