This face shape is considered the most ideal, the proportions of the face perfectly maintain the symmetry, the widest part of the face is at the cheekbones, and at the chin it narrows gently. Many spectacle shapes are suitable for this face shape. Cat eye, round, square, rectangular, aviator style glasses. Be careful when choosing large oversized frames though.
Triangular Face Shape
The triangular face gradually widens from forehead to chin. For this face shape, we recommend choosing square-shaped frames with round edges that perfectly adjust the proportions of the face. Oval or round frames are also a good choice as they visually distribute the upper part of the face. Choose frames that visually spread and accentuate the incense line. Measure out models whose frames are massive or brightly colored to highlight the upper part of the face. Avoid butterfly-shaped frames that do not create regular face proportions.
Long Face
This form is long and narrow. Properly selected glasses will shorten the face and soften slightly angled shapes. Oversized style glasses are perfect for you. They will cover a large part of the face and create a balance of proportions. It is not advisable to choose frameless or too narrow glasses.
Squared Face
This face is characterized by expressive features, an angled jaw, and a square forehead when the width of the jaw and forehead are approximately equal. Choose round, oval or other softer-shaped spectacle frames that will give lightness to a tight face. Avoid picking square eyeglass frames, and pay attention to size, too small eyeglass frames can make your face even bigger.
Rectangular Face Shape
The rectangular face is usually characterized by bright features: high cheekbones and a bright chin line. Plus, it’s slightly angled and long. For this type of face, we recommend round-shaped frames that will soften straight lines in the shape of the face.
Oval frames will visually make the face wider. Carefully choose rectangular frames that emphasize the features of the face, such frames will optically lengthen the face. Narrow frames should also be avoided, as they will make the cheeks look even more expressive and may not create a harmony of proportions. Frames with high legs are also not recommended. They visually lengthen the face.
Heart Forms
The shape of the heart face is characterized by a broad forehead and a narrowing of the face towards the chin. We recommend measuring square frames with a sharper vertical line that will balance the proportions of the face. For this type of face, it is advisable to avoid round or oval frames that accentuate the forehead area even more strongly. Butterfly-shaped frames are also not suitable.
