What glasses will suit my face shape?
To find the perfect glasses for you, first you need to identify your face shape. It’s a great way to narrow down your options if you’re a little overwhelmed with choice. Take a look in the mirror and see which of the below face shapes matches yours.
-
Round
When you have a rounder face it’s best to choose a style that will complement your softer features. Round faces tend to be a little shorter, with a wider forehead, fuller cheeks and rounded chin, so go for rounder frames rather than angular.
-
Square
If your face width and length are in proportion and you’ve got a broad forehead and a strong jaw, this category is for you. You may want to create more length in the face so opt for narrower styles that are still angular to complement your features.
-
Oval
Oval faces tend to have a softly rounded forehead and chin. Balanced proportions mean that almost all frame shapes will suit you, so go wild. We’d suggest choosing a style that’s a little wider than the widest part of your face.
-
Heart
A heart-shaped face tends to be widest at the forehead, gently narrowing towards the chin with softer features. Opt for frames that are a little wider than your forehead to offset this natural width. Perhaps a cat-eye or Clubmaster-inspired style.
Frames for fashion
Whether you wear glasses because you have to or you’re just channelling your inner hipster with clear lenses, we’ve got some top tips for you.
-
Match your frame to your face
If you have fairer features and lighter hair you’re better off staying away from black frames or super colourful styles. Stronger features can support a thicker frame while more delicate features are better complimented by thinner styles.
-
Vintage vision
Vintage styles are so hot right now. You’ve only got to take a peek on social media to see. So how about tapping into the past to find a vintage style that works for you. From 50s cat eyes to 60s Wayfarers and Aviators, classic frames are back in vogue.
