Optometry experts generally recommend the "Rule of Opposites" for the most flattering fit.
"The goal is to choose frames that contrast with your facial features. Angular frames add definition to round faces, while rounder frames soften strong jawlines."
Research published in the Journal of Psychology suggests that your glasses can influence how others perceive you.
To determine your face shape, pull your hair back and look in a mirror. Measure the widest parts of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, and note the length of your face. Oval faces have balanced proportions with a slightly wider forehead. Round faces have equal width and length with soft curves. Square faces have a strong jawline and broad forehead. Heart faces have a wider forehead and narrow chin. Diamond faces have wide cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin.

Rectangle and square frames create contrast and make the face appear longer and more angular. Geometric frames with sharp lines are ideal. Avoid round or oval frames that emphasize the face's natural roundness.
Yes! Oval faces are the most versatile and can wear almost any style of glasses. Aviator, Wayfarer, Cat-eye, Round, Square, and Rectangle frames all work well. The key is to choose frames that are as wide as (or slightly wider than) the broadest part of your face to maintain balance.
Square faces should avoid heavy, boxy, or angular frames that emphasize the face's natural angularity. Instead, opt for round, oval, or cat-eye frames that soften the strong jawline and angular features. Frames with curves help create balance and contrast.
Popular online retailers include Warby Parker, Zenni Optical, and EyeBuyDirect. For luxury options, try Ray-Ban or Oakley's official sites.
Always use virtual try-on tools like Tryaiphoto to see how different styles look on your face before purchasing. Many retailers offer home try-on programs where you can test 5-7 frames at home before buying.
Heart-shaped faces have a wider forehead and narrow chin, so they need frames that balance these proportions. Aviator frames (wider at the bottom), round frames, and rimless styles work best. Avoid heavy top bars or decorative embellishments on the top of frames, as these draw attention to the already-wide forehead. Light-colored frames also help minimize emphasis on the upper face.
While cat-eye glasses are traditionally associated with women's fashion, modern unisex and masculine cat-eye styles exist. The key is the degree of upward sweep - subtle cat-eye frames work for anyone, while dramatic vintage styles tend to be more feminine. Square and diamond face shapes benefit most from cat-eye frames regardless of gender.

However, sunglasses can be slightly larger and bolder since they're a fashion statement. The key recommendations for your face shape remain the same whether you're choosing prescription eyewear or sunglasses.
