How to Choose the Right Frames for Your Face Shape
Selecting the most flattering frames for your face shape will help you feel more confident when you are wearing your eyeglasses. In order to connect face shape to frames, you first need to determine what your face shape is. Pull all of your hair away from your face while looking in a mirror. Pay attention to your contours, jawline, and forehead, and follow the following tips.
Square: You have a square face shape if your jawline is horizontal and your forehead is broader. For you, select frames that are oval and darker colored to work with your bold features. Lighter-colored frames and square shapes can get lost in your features.
Round: A round chin, full cheeks, and broad forehead are yours if you fall into the round face category. Pick out frames that are angular, bold, and obvious lines to help balance out all of the softness and roundness of your features.
Heart: This face shape is categorized by high cheekbones, a broad brow, and a narrowness at the chin. Heart shapes benefit from round-shaped eyeglass frames or oval and rectangular for a better-balanced look.
Triangle: This is you if you have a thin face at the top and wider at the bottom. Frames that are narrow at the bottom and wider at the top will work for you. Cat-eye frames can emphasize your eyes.
Oval: As the shape indicates, your forehead and chin are narrow. Frames that add angles to your look will help balance out your features. Your frames should be as wide as the widest part of your face.
Diamond: You have lots of angles at your jawline, defined cheekbones, a narrow forehead, and full cheeks. Your face will look best with a softer frame that includes curves and delicate lines.
