Understanding Your Face Shape
Choosing the perfect pair of glasses can be a daunting task, especially with so many styles and shapes available. The key to finding glasses that complement your look is understanding your face shape. Different frames suit different face shapes, and by identifying yours, you can easily narrow down the options.
Here’s a quick guide to help you determine your face shape:
- Round: Your face has softer angles with equal width and height. Your cheekbones are the widest part of your face.
- Oval: Your face is longer than it is wide, with a slightly curved jawline and forehead being the widest part.
- Square: Your face has strong, angular features with a broad forehead, wide cheekbones, and a strong jawline.
- Heart: Your face is wider at the forehead and gently narrows down to the chin.
- Diamond: Your face is widest at the cheekbones, with a narrow forehead and jawline.
Once you know your face shape, you can choose frames that highlight your best features.
Glasses for Round Faces
If you have a round face, you’ll want to add some angles to your soft features. The best frames for round faces are those that are rectangular or square. These shapes help to elongate your face and add definition.
- Rectangular Frames: These create a contrast to the roundness of your face, making it appear longer and slimmer.
- Square Frames: Similar to rectangular frames, square frames add angles and structure to your soft features.
- Cat-Eye Frames: These frames add an upward sweep to your face, drawing attention to your eyes and cheekbones.
At Glasses Store, we offer a wide range of frames perfect for round faces. Our virtual try-on tool allows you to see how different styles look on your face, ensuring you find the perfect pair.
Glasses for Oval Faces
Oval faces are considered the most versatile face shape, and almost any frame looks good on them. The balanced proportions of an oval face mean you can experiment with various styles and colours.
- Geometric Frames: These add angles to your naturally balanced face, making a bold fashion statement.
- Bold Colours: Don’t be afraid to try glasses with bright colours or unique patterns. They can add personality to your look.
- Wide Frames: Frames that are wider than the broadest part of your face will maintain the natural balance of your features.
Our collection at Glasses Store includes numerous options for oval faces. Whether you prefer something classic or trendy, we have the perfect frames to complement your look.
Glasses for Square Faces
Square faces have strong, angular features that can be softened with the right frames. Look for styles that balance your features and add some curves.
- Round Frames: These frames contrast with your strong jawline and add softness to your features.
- Oval Frames: Similar to round frames, oval frames create a harmonious balance with your square face.
- Rimless Frames: These frames minimise the angularity of your face and give a subtle, sophisticated look.

Glasses for Heart-Shaped Faces
Heart-shaped faces are widest at the forehead and taper down to the chin. The goal is to balance the width of your forehead with the narrowness of your chin.
- Bottom-Heavy Frames: These frames add width to the lower part of your face, balancing the wider forehead.
- Light-Coloured Frames: Lighter colours help to soften the contrast between the forehead and chin.
- Oval Frames: Oval frames provide a gentle balance to the angles of a heart-shaped face.
At Glasses Store, we have a variety of frames that are perfect for heart-shaped faces. Use our virtual try-on tool to see which styles suit you best.
Glasses for Diamond Faces
Diamond faces are narrow at the forehead and jawline with broad cheekbones. The goal is to highlight the eyes and soften the cheekbones.
- Oval Frames: These frames help to soften the cheekbones and balance the face.
- Cat-Eye Frames: The upward sweep of cat-eye frames draws attention to the eyes and adds width to the forehead.
- Rimless Frames: These frames highlight your cheekbones while maintaining a subtle look.
