Finding Frames For Your Face

Looking for the perfect glasses for your face shape? Whether your face is heart-shaped, diamond-shaped, round, square, or oval, EYEQ.ITY has many frame options that will compliment your face. We want you to get the most perfect frames, so we’re giving you a guide to help you find the ideal pair according to the shape of your face.

What is the shape of my face? 

With all of this in mind, you have one of the following face shapes: oval, round, square, diamond, or heart. By glancing in a mirror and examining your facial features, you can find out which frames match yours. Read on to find out what your face shape looks like and which glasses will fit you perfectly. 

Oval-Shaped Face

Many frame styles work with an oval-shaped face. Faces with an oval shape tend to have slightly wider and higher cheekbones that taper slightly towards the forehead. The oval face shape has long allowed you to achieve virtually any style. With oval face shapes, feel free to go strong with unique colors or sizes. Square, red, cateye, wayfarer; there’s no limit to what you can come up with.

However, you should avoid narrow frames and frames with heavy design elements. They can add a bit of unnecessary dimension to your face.

 

Round-Shaped face

Most round faces have delicate curves and soft lines that are usually the same width from the jawline to the forehead. The cheeks are usually fuller and the jawline is not rounded with many angles. Not quite like some other face shapes, a round face is regularly recognized because it’s all about the curve. Angular-shaped frames tend to work the best, such as rectangular or square. These shapes offset the roundness of the face and bring about an appealing look.

 

Square-Shaped Face

A wide range of frames sizes are suitable for square faces. If you have a square-shaped face, several fun and funky pairs of glasses can complement your features. To a lesser extent, square faces are wider along the forehead and jawline. Because of this shape with a strong jawline, glasses that sit high on the nose add length that complements this face. Thin, round frames that are a bit wide will look nice and natural on square face shapes. For women, round and cat-eye frames are suggested, and for men, rectangle and oval-shaped frames will work best.

 

Diamond-Shaped Faces

Many styles of glasses frames are suitable for diamond-shaped faces. Diamond face shapes are one of the rarest face shapes and are characterized by their narrow forehead and jawline and full cheeks. The best looking frame for your face shape is an uncontoured or oval edge with a solid temple line. These frames will help to highlight your features and bring balance to your face. Excite your unique features with funky frames. 

 

Heart-Shaped Faces

Heart-shaped faces are widest at the temples, tapering to the jawline with high cheekbones. This face shape can be round or long and regularly makes the owner look happy and charming. It is generally considered the most adaptable face shape. They look exceptional in winged eyeglass frames that are a bit wider than their foreheads and rounded bases to balance and complement their features.
