Eyewear Matchmaker: Discover the Perfect Frames for Your Face

When it comes to eyewear, fit goes far beyond prescription—it’s about proportion, balance, and bringing out your best features. Whether you're searching for statement sunglasses or everyday eyeglasses, choosing the best glasses for your face shape is key to finding a pair you’ll love wearing day in, day out.
Not sure which glasses shape suits your face? We’ve broken it down to help you discover what works best, so the next time you ask, "What are the best glasses for my face shape?", you’ll have the answer.

Round Face Shape
Soft angles, full cheeks, and a rounded chin? Your face likely has a circular shape.
Go for angular styles like rectangular or geometric frames to add contrast and structure. Cat-eye sunglasses and wayfarer glasses also work beautifully by lifting and elongating your features.
Avoid: Round frames—they tend to exaggerate the softness of your features.

Oval Face Shape
Considered the most versatile face shape, an oval face features gently rounded contours and balanced proportions. Lucky you—most glasses frames look great on oval faces! To maintain your natural balance, choose frames that are as wide as or slightly wider than the broadest part of your face.
Try classic aviators, oversized square frames, or subtle cat-eyes. To really make your face pop, choose frames with a touch of color or detail on the temples.

Square Face Shape
Strong jawlines and broad foreheads define the square face shape. Go for round or oval frames to soften the angles and bring harmony. Thin metal frames, rimless designs, or gradient lenses can also create a nice contrast with sharper features.

Heart-Shaped Face
Wide at the forehead and tapering down to a narrow chin, heart-shaped faces benefit from frames that balance the top and bottom of the face. Look for bottom-heavy frames, rimless options, or styles with low-set temples to draw attention downward and even out proportions. Also, try light-colored oval frames or round glasses.

Diamond Face Shape
Defined cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin? That’s a diamond-shaped face. Oval and rimless frames soften cheekbones and add width at the eye line. Cat-eye shapes also highlight the cheekbones in a flattering way.
Bonus Tips for Petite & Wide Faces
For small faces, opt for small frame sunglasses or glasses for petite faces that don’t overwhelm your features. Look for adjustable nose pads for a tailored fit.

For wide faces, bold, oversized styles or glasses for wide faces with strong lines can help maintain visual balance.

One Final Tip: Try Before You Buy
Face shape is a great starting point, but comfort and personal style matter just as much. Try different shapes, colors, and materials to discover what makes you feel confident and comfortable.
