Round faces tend to have fuller checks and a chin with less definition. The width and length of the face are about the same proportion. Try frames that are rectangular with the emphasis on the horizontal style. This will make your face appear longer and thinner. Also, frames that have temples that connect towards the top of the frame give the illusion of a longer face. Avoid frames that are too small for your face and avoid frames with round lenses.

Oval faces are well proportioned with high cheekbones and a slightly narrowed chin. Almost all frame shapes work well with oval faces. Try to avoid buying frames that are too large. Your face shape is ideal and you may not want to focus too much attention away from it.

Oblong faces are longer faces with high cheekbones and typically longer noses and taller foreheads. Try to focus on frames that have a larger vertical height and larger temples. Avoid frames that are short vertically as this will accentuate face length.

Square faces have similar facial width and length with strong square jaw lines and wider foreheads. Try to focus on more oval frames with curves to bring a softer look to your face. Avoid frames that have a strong rectangular or angular look to them.

Triangular faces appear wider at the brow and eye line and narrow in towards a smaller jaw line and smaller chin. Avoid frames that widen towards the bottom of the lens or have the temples attached at the bottom of the frames. Try to focus on frames that are narrow towards the bottom of the lens. Most semi-rimless frames look well on triangular faces.
