Quick guide
Best glasses for my face shape: the cheat sheet
| Face shape | Best frames | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Oval Face Shape | Rectangle, Oversized square, Aviator, Browline, Cat-eye | Frames much wider than your face |
| Round Face Shape | Rectangle, Oversized square, Browline | Small round frames |
| Square Face Shape | Round, Aviator, Cat-eye | Boxy, angular frames |
| Heart-Shaped Face | Round, Aviator, Rectangle | Top-heavy, decorated frames |
| Diamond Face Shape | Cat-eye, Browline, Round | Narrow frames |
| Oblong Face Shape | Oversized square, Aviator, Round | Small, shallow frames |
| Triangle Face Shape | Browline, Cat-eye, Aviator | Bottom-heavy frames |
The rule of thumb is contrast: angular frames add structure to round faces, curved frames soften angular faces, and deeper frames shorten long faces. Not sure of your shape? Use the face shape detector.
Frame styles
Six frame styles and who they suit
Rectangle glasses
Wider than they are deep, with straight lines. They add structure to soft, round features and lengthen the face. Suits oval, round, heart faces.
Round glasses
Circular lenses soften strong jaws and angular features, and add curves to long, straight faces. Suits square, heart, diamond, oblong faces.
Cat-eye glasses
Upswept outer corners widen the upper face and lift attention to the cheekbones. Suits oval, square, diamond, triangle faces.
Aviator glasses
Teardrop lenses that are widest at the bottom balance wide foreheads and fill out long faces. Suits oval, square, heart, oblong, triangle faces.
Browline glasses
A bold upper rim widens the brow line and draws the eye upward, balancing wider jaws. Suits oval, round, diamond, triangle faces.
Oversized square glasses
Deep, wide frames break up a long face and add sharp contrast to round curves. Suits oval, round, oblong faces.
Buying guide
How to choose the right frame size, material and colour
Read the numbers on your arm
Most frames have three numbers printed inside the arm, for example 52-18-140. Use the ones on glasses that already fit you as your starting point when buying online.
| Number | Means | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 52 | Lens width (mm) | 48–56 |
| 18 | Bridge width (mm) | 14–22 |
| 140 | Arm (temple) length (mm) | 135–150 |
- Frame about as wide as your face at the temples.
- Top of the frame at or just below your eyebrows.
- Pupils near the centre of each lens.
- Frame bottom clear of your cheeks when you smile.
Materials
- Acetate
- Thick, colourful and bold. Adds definition — great for round and oval faces, or for a statement.
- Metal and titanium
- Thin and light. Softer on strong, angular faces and on heart faces where you want less weight on top.
- Rimless and semi-rimless
- The most understated look; suits almost any face and keeps attention on the eyes.
Colours
Black and dark tortoiseshell add the most structure. Clear, champagne and light tortoise soften the face. Warm skin tones suit gold, honey and tortoise; cool skin tones suit silver, grey, navy and black. When in doubt, start with tortoiseshell — it suits most skin tones and face shapes.
FAQ
Glasses for my face shape FAQ
First find your face shape — add a photo to the free detector on this page or measure your forehead, cheekbones, jaw and face length. Then pick frames that contrast with it: angular frames for round faces, curved frames for square faces, deeper frames for long faces.
Choose a style recommended for both shapes. For example, aviators suit oval, square, heart, oblong and triangle faces, so they are a safe bet if you sit between two of those.
Yes. The try-on on this page runs entirely in your browser: your photo is never uploaded or stored.
Frames should be about as wide as your face at the temples, with your eyes roughly centred in each lens. If your face spills past the frame edges, they are too narrow; if the arms bow outward, they are too wide.
Yes. The same contrast rule works: angular sunglasses for round faces, round or aviator sunglasses for square faces, and deep, oversized lenses for long faces.
The top of the frame should follow the line of your brows and sit at or just below them. Frames that cut across the middle of your brows, or leave a big gap below them, look less natural.
