Other Eyeglass Frame Types

You should consider which type of eyeglass frame would be suitable for your face. Here are some tips:

When choosing frames, consider their overall size, which should be in proportion to the size of your face. Frames that are too large or too small do not flatter, not matter what style they are. Make sure the frames fit properly. Your pupils should fall in the center of the lenses, and frames shouldn't move around on your face when you smile. If you prefer colored frames, pick a shade that complements your hair and skin tones. Above all, choose a frame that you like and that reflects your style and personality.

Diamond Shaped Face: A diamond shaped face is characterised by a small chin and wide temple area.  A butterfly shaped eyeglass frame is your best best.  You may also want to try a square frame.   

Oval Shaped Face Type: The most common of the face types, an oval face is considered to be well-balanced.  This type can wear just about any eyeglass frame type, as long as the frame and face are proportional. 

Rectangular Face Type: The rectangular face is narrow, long, with a square chin.  Use an eyeglass frame with rounded bottom lines, and strong top bar. 

The Round Face: Pretty self explanatory, here. The round face has a rounded, curved forehead and chin.  Try a geometric or angular type of eyeglass frame. 

The Square Face: The square face is characterised by a wide forehead, cheek, and chin.  Go with a round or oval shaped eyeglass frame.
