While glasses are necessary for some, they are not only functional but are also a fashion accessory. With glasses becoming increasingly popular since the rise of blue light glasses, it’s worth remembering that a new pair of glasses can transform your whole look, so it’s important to choose the right ones for your face shape. We’ve put together this handy guide to help you with that!
Those with oval faces have a combination of soft and angular lines. Those of you who have this face shape are very lucky in that they suit most glasses. We advise to choose glasses as wide or even wider than the widest part of your face. Go for a bold look and get something geometric, or for a more understated look, a teacup shape will look great on you.
Round faces have soft and curved features. Frames that are square or rectangular provide a contrast to this and tend to be wider and slimming. This balances the softness of your features. Alternatively, you could try out a round pair to complement your curved face.
A square face has a defined jawline with angular features. Narrow frames or rounded frames contrast your angular features and bring a softness to your face, while square, angular frames will enhance your more prominent jaw line. Cat eye shaped glasses are also a great option for a bolder look.
A heart shaped face is thinner on the bottom half, with a more angular chin. To complement this, we want to find you some glasses that elongate the face. Try out some glasses with a more rounded shape. A set of frames with bottom heavy frame lines will add width to the lower half of your face and provide more balance.
A diamond face is narrow at the eyeline and the jawline. Boxy or narrow frames will accentuate the width of your cheeks, so we suggest a top-heavier style to provide balance. A cat eye shaped frame will accentuate your cheekbones and delicate features, sculpting your face. Oval shaped glasses are also very flattering for a diamond face shape as it balances out your more angular features.
A pair of glasses not only changes how you see, but how others see you, which is why choosing the right ones for your face shape is so important. Browse our collection of glasses and see what your next fashion statement will be.
