Don’t underestimate the transformative power of a stylish pair of shades that fit your features
Square
A square face has more angular lines and distinctive features, with equally wide cheekbones, forehead and jaw.
The perfect fit –
Soften your angular features with rounder frames, like oval frames and pilots.
Choose a thinner frame that won’t overwhelm
Ensure the width is slightly wider than your cheekbones
Semi-rimless styles also help balance a prominent jaw.
Oval
An oval face shape is the most versatile to fit and is compatible with all styles of shades. You have slightly wider cheekbones and a gentle narrowing at the forehead and jaw.
The perfect fit –
Most frames suit you, so experiment and pick a bold shape that compliments your style
Standout by playing with colour and texture
Oversized frames work great with your features, and rectangle frames can balance your face’s vertical shape
Semi-rimless styles also help balance a prominent jaw.
Round
A round face has a roughly equivalent height and width. You have softer angles with slightly wider cheekbones and an equally wide forehead and jaw.
The perfect fit –
Sharpen your softer features with rectangular frames
Offset facial contours with geometric shapes like horizontal frames and wayfarers
Ensure the bottom hits just above your cheekbones
Heart
Generally characterised by a broader brow and a narrow chin, your face shape lends naturally to prominent, striking eyes. You are widest at the forehead and gradually narrows through to the jaw.
The perfect fit –
Frames that elongate your look, even out proportions, or direct attention downward are a good match.
Ensure the width is slightly wider than your forehead for balance
Choose light-coloured frames and frames with thin temples or detailing on the lower portion
