How do I choose a frame for my face?

 

The most important step in getting flattering frames is choosing those that match your character and facial features. You can go for frames that enhance your face’s best feature acknowledging that the size of the frames is in proportion to your face size.

What to consider while choosing the frames

You can know the shape of your face by looking at a mirror. Remember to pull your hair away if it falls on your face. Closely examine the general outline of your face and the contours of your head.

Here’s a closer look at common face types and recommended eyeglass frames for each:

Oval shape

Oval face shapes tend to have proportions that are balanced. If you have such a shape, get prescription glasses that match the width of your face’s broadest part. Recommended frames include Rectangle, Aviator and Bowline.

Oblong face shape

Oblong faces are long and narrow, but with cheek lines that are more or less straight. Get frames that feature more depth to bring balance and make your face look shorter.Frames with contrasting temples can also make your face appear wider.

Heart-shaped face

Be sides having a broad top third, a heart-shaped face also features a slender bottom third. To successfully shrink the width of the face, get frames that have a broader bottom. Round, Oval and Aviator frames are good choices.

Square face shape

Square face shapes have wide foreheads and strong jaws.They have roughly equal length and width. Narrow frame styles can soften the apparent angles and make your face look longer.
