Round faces
Rectangular, narrow and angular frames contrast with your
features and will help to lengthen your face. Your face will
appear thinner if you choose glasses with a clear bridge over
the nose, which widens the eyes.

Oblong faces
Round, rectangular and square frames can all work, but make
sure they have more depth than width to help shorten your
face. Try glasses with embellishments or decorations at the
temples to detract from your longer cheeks and jawline.

Learn how to choose the right glasses for your
T
here are few opportunities in life to
change your entire look, but new
glasses can do just that, so make sure
you find the most flattering pair. The trick is to
match your face shape with the right frames. If
you’re not sure what your shape is, pull your
hair back off your face and look in the mirror.
Check what you see against the five shapes
shown here. But, no matter what your face
shape, if you find a pair of glasses you love and
you feel good wearing them, go for it!
What is your face shape?
■ Round
If you have full cheeks, soft angles to
your features and the length and width of your
face is equal, your face shape is round.
■ Oblong
This face shape is longer than it is wide,
with long and straight cheek lines.
■ Square
If your face is as long as it is wide
and you have a strong and defined jawline, you
have a square face shape.
■ Heart
Sometimes called an inverted triangle,
this face shape has a broad forehead and
cheekbones tapering to a narrow chin.
■ Oval
If the widest part of your face is the
middle and your chin width is about the same as
your jawline, your face shape is oval.
