What is the shape of my face?
You likely have one of the following face shapes: oval, square, round, heart, or diamond. By taking a look in the mirror at your facial features, you can determine the shape of your face. Once you know, you can answer the age-old question: What glasses fit me?
But remember, the suggestions in this guide are not hard and fast rules: when it comes to choosing a frame, you should follow your instincts. Expressing your personal style can be a fun way to highlight your personality and let your unique self shine through your frames.
Glasses for all types of shapes.
The truth about face shapes is that almost no one is a heart, a circle, a square or any other strictly defined category. Most faces are a combination of a few different shapes: rounded chins and high foreheads, angular features, sharp jaws, etc.
Trying to choose just one stock image from a list may seem impossible. What you should do is try to find the shape that is most similar to yours. Even if your chin is a little pointier 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 have recognized your face shape, you can find which frame shape will bring natural balance to your features. This guide will help you identify the type of glasses for the face shapes you might consider when exploring our range.
What glasses shapes flatter oval faces?
Glasses for oval faces
People with oval faces fit most frame shapes. An oval-shaped face features higher, slightly wider cheekbones that are slightly narrower toward the forehead. This long, rounded face shape allows you to rock almost any style, especially wide, oversized frames.
With an oval face shape, feel free to be bold with an original color, texture or frame shape. Square, trapezoid, tortoise and rectangular – the possibilities are endless! Our only advice is to avoid narrow frames and frames with heavy design elements. They might add some 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 just suggestions! Always wear what makes you feel best.
As for sunglasses for your oval face shape, have fun with your choice of glasses! Dare to be bold with a statement-making look, like a fierce cat eye or a daring pair of aviators. Or keep it modern and classic with a more basic look like an iconic D-frame.
What glasses shapes flatter square faces?
There are many different types of glasses that suit square faces. After all, it's trendy to be square! If you have a square-shaped face, many great pairs of glasses can enhance your features. Square faces tend to have bold, angular features and draw a clean, straight line from the forehead to the jaw.
In terms of proportions, square faces are wider along the jaw and forehead. Because this shape is defined by a strong jawline, glasses that sit high on the nose add length that flatters this face type.
To focus attention on your strongest features, choose a rounded, rather than angular, frame. A round or oval eyeglass frame will soften and add contrast to your angular features, making your best features shine. Rimless and half-rimless styles are a great starting point.

If you're looking for sunglasses for a square face, choose curved frame designs that are wider; This will help soften any sharp angles and balance your cheekbones. For a bold statement, try cat eye shades.
What glasses shapes suit round faces?
Round faces feature soft curves and soft lines, with a face that is approximately the same width from jaw to eyebrow. On round faces, the cheeks are usually full and the chin rounded with very few angles. Unlike other face shapes, a round face is usually very distinctive because it is curved.
Styling Tips for Round Faces
The most important thing to consider when choosing glasses for round faces is to select frames that work to add angles; Try styles with bold, angular details and clean lines.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Rectangular frames: They break up the structure of the face, which can make your face look longer and thinner.
Angular and geometric frames: Add some sharper, distinct lines to your face to create balance.
Upturned frames, like cat eyes: If you have curvy cheeks and a lot of body, try to draw attention to them and at the same time focus attention on your eyes.
What glasses flatter heart-shaped faces?
There are many glasses that suit heart-shaped faces. Heart-shaped faces are wider at the forehead, with a narrow chin and high cheekbones. This is generally considered to be the most versatile of all face shapes.
Styling Tips for Heart Shaped Faces
Heart-shaped faces look great in winged frames that stick out a little further than the forehead and frames with rounded bases to balance and complement your features, such as:
Bottom-Heavy Frames: If your chin is especially narrow, you may want to create a little more width.
Frames with low temples: If you are conscious of the width of your forehead, choosing this style will draw the eye downward, emphasizing the lower part of your face.
Oval Shaped Frames: If you have a narrow chin, an oval frame will balance your features by drawing attention to your eyes.
Light-colored or rimless frames: Perfect for minimizing the look of glasses with a barely-there frame.
Sunglasses for heart-shaped faces
Find frames that are proportionate to your face by looking for styles that have a deep base and subtle wingtips that are slightly wider than your forehead. PS Aviators are a great option.
Which glasses suit diamond shaped faces?
Diamond-shaped faces tend to have narrower foreheads than most and defined cheekbones with angular jawlines. The key is to create a balance between your features and the shape of the glasses when choosing the style for you. Many eyeglass frames fit diamond-shaped faces. Diamond-shaped faces are the rarest face shape and are characterized by full cheeks and a narrow forehead and jaw.
The best look for a diamond-shaped face is an oval or rimless frame with a strong brow line. These shapes will help balance your face and highlight your favorite attributes. Highlight your unique features with fun and original frames, like a horn edge or cat-eye style, but keep them delicate to avoid over-accentuating bold features.
When it comes to choosing sunglasses for diamond-shaped faces, there are many styles to choose from, just like eyeglasses. Frames with a very strong brow line will work well to contrast with the cheekbones, oval frames are great for a subtle but effective touch, and cat-eye and rectangular frames are also great options. Eyewear inspiration is endless and our virtual try-on tool is always available to see the style that works for you.
Which glasses suit triangle-shaped faces?
Triangular faces have a wide, square jaw, but unlike square faces, they usually have a narrow forehead. If you think you have a triangular face shape, our range of styles is ideal for highlighting your best features and maximizing your appearance to its full potential.
Wider frames are a good choice for triangular face shapes as they help make the top of the face appear wider. To add width to a narrow forehead, try frames that are heavily accented with color and detailing on top. This will work great with the lower third of your face to add balance to your look.
Eyeglasses that are bold on the top and lighter on the bottom are ideal for this type of face shape, such as aviators or cat eyes. If you want to make a bolder statement, a round style offers an interesting contrast to angular features.
Sunglasses for triangular faces
Balance your features with a pair of sunglasses that have a completely opposite structure; Look for designs that are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, like cat-eye sunglasses. Sunglasses with a wider or bolder brow line will draw attention away from your jawline and elongate your forehead.
