Optical Styling Rulebook
How to Pick Glasses for Your Face Shape
The golden rule of eyewear is simple: Contrast your facial geometry. Angular faces look best in curved frames; rounded faces look best in sharp, geometric lines.
Round Face
Rectangular & Square Frames
Sharp angles and straight lines break up the softness of round cheeks and create visual structure.
✓ Pick: Wayfarer, D-Frame, Cat-Eye
✗ Avoid: Small round frames
Square Face
Round & Oval Wire Frames
Curved frames soften a chiseled 90-degree jawline and balance a broad forehead.
✓ Pick: Teardrop Aviators, Round wire
✗ Avoid: Angular boxy frames
Heart Face
Aviator & Bottom-Heavy Frames
Frames that flare downward at the base balance a broader forehead with a narrow, pointed chin.
✓ Pick: Classic Aviators, Rimless
✗ Avoid: Top-heavy embellished browlines
Diamond Face
Browline & Cat-Eye Frames
Frames with pronounced upper browlines complement dramatic cheekbones while highlighting eyes.
✓ Pick: Clubmasters, Oval acetate
✗ Avoid: Narrow micro-frames
