Oval

Most frame styles look good with this face shape. You try some of the latest frames styles; like a wrap around frame but make sure the frame size is proportion to your face.

Suggested Frames:

Any frame shape.

Oblong

Oblong faces are long, narrow and similar to square faces in that the chin and cheek are of nearly the same width. However, the facial length is far greater than the width.

Suggested Frames:

Round, Square

Large Nose

Large frames are recommended for balance. Small frames accent the nose size.

Suggested Frames:

Larger Frames.

Long Nose

Frames with high sidebars draw attention upward toward the temples and away from the nose.

Suggested Frames:

High sidebars.

Small Nose

A high, light color, bride lengthens a short nose or a nose that is small in proportion.

Suggested Frames:

High bridge.

Diamond

Diamond face shapes looks better with rounded or square frame styles. Frames with short horizontal and long vertical lines will also fit well. Adding decorative or contrasting temples will make the face look wider and bolder. Also, the frame should cover as much of the center of the face as possible to minimize the length.

Suggested Frames:

Oval, Square, Round

Square

Compliment a square face with curved frames. The top of the frames should sit high enough on the face to minimize your jaw line. This face shape has a big jaw line, a broad forehead and wide cheekbones. Curvy styles will reduce the angles of your face and give you more definition. We recommend classic ovals, cat eye and rounded shapes.

Suggested Frames:

Round, Cat Eyes

Round

To minimize the roundness of ones face, select a frame with straight or angular lines. Deep, dark colors will minimize the roundness. The frame should be equal or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. To make the face appear longer and thinner, minimizes curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular styles or double brow styles. To create a longer profile, try frames with higher temples. Sunglasses with brow bars also pull the eye upward, making the face appear longer.

Suggested Frames:

Wider frames with angular, rectangular styles.

Pale Complexions

Try lightweight frames with lighter color. Accent with light color.

Suggested Frames:

Lightweight with lighter color.

Dark Complexions

Avoid darker frame colors, which could be too heavy for your complexion.

Suggested Frames:

Silver, gold, or clear frame.
