Face Shape Guide – How to Choose the Perfect Glasses

The right glasses don't change your face: they enhance it. This guide will guide you through your choice, with a simple, no-frills aesthetic.

How to understand your face shape

In front of the mirror, observe:

  • Is the forehead wider than the jaw?
  • Is the chin defined or softer?
  • Does the width of the face remain the same from top to bottom, or does it change?

Based on their proportions, we distinguish: oval, round, square, heart-shaped, diamond-shaped, and elongated.

Balanced proportions: You can play around with many shapes.

  • Square frames for character
