Although there are several things that can determine how a pair of eyeglasses will look on you, facial shape is the most obvious. The same frame can look different on many people, simply due to the shape of their face. By learning about how different frames compliment certain facial shapes, you can make your frame shopping experience much easier.
There are four basic facial shapes which include round, square, heart and oval. If you have problems identifying your facial shape, the staff at your local optician will be able to help you choose a frame that is complimentary to your face.
Round - A round face is fairly short with a wide forehead, often with full cheeks and a rounded chin. Choose styles with high set sides, and those with colour or decoration on the temples. |
Oval - An oval face is well balanced and softly rounded; the forehead is slightly wider than the jaw, which curves gently, and the cheekbones are high. An oval face looks good in most styles, so be adventurous! |
Square - A square face has a broad, deep forehead, wide jaw line and square chin. Choose round style frames to soften the jaw line. |
Heart - A heart-Shaped face has a broad forehead, tapering to a small neat chin and mouth. Choose smaller styles without decorative detail on the temples. |
