How to choose the shape of your glasses frame?
Frame shape according to face shape
Diamond face shape and glasses
A diamond-shaped face is often also called a diamond shape. The facial features are close to oval proportions, but there are very high and wide cheekbones. The chin is more pointed than the classic face shape. This type of appearance is considered the rarest. And when making the right choice With glasses frames you can highlight all the beauty of your natural features. The most the best option are “cat” glasses with clearly defined top lines. If you have dark or Brown hair, then the color of the frame can vary from black to light pink. If you are blonde, then take a closer look with light brown frames. In your case, it’s a good idea to choose an option that combines two colors at once (as in the photo). “Cat” frames will soften protruding cheekbones and visually widen your eyes.

An elongated, or elongated, face shape is characterized by a high forehead and a tapering, but not sharp, chin. This type also approaches oval proportions, although it presents them in a slightly elongated version. The cheekbones and nose are slightly elongated and, as a rule, do not stand out clearly. For long face shapes, round glasses or glasses with wide lenses are suitable. This is necessary in order to create visual balance in appearance. Glasses frames that are just slightly reminiscent of a cat's eye can also enhance your beauty.

As we have written more than once, the oval face shape is classic and is not afraid of any experiments. Thanks to the ideal proportions between the forehead and chin, girls with this type of appearance can afford to try on many options for frames. These can be classic rectangles, round or elongated glasses, cat-like or square frames.

Typically, a square shape balances the proportions between the length and width of the face. In addition, a very strong, straight chin and broad forehead.

Any such option, even with fashionable curves, will be just right for you.

Don't forget that even the smallest detail, such as a thin or metal bridge, can make a huge difference to the overall impression of you. Therefore, think about everything several times.
- The top of the frame should not extend beyond the eyebrow line.

Frame color to match your eye color
In addition to your face shape, it is also recommended to select glasses frames based on the color of your hair, skin and eyes. Since hair color can be changed, eye color still remains the same. Therefore, let's look at this aspect in more detail. Disharmony in color can play a cruel joke on you, and your perfectly chosen glasses will no longer be so.
Brown eyes and frame color
Brown eye color is the most common throughout the world. Of course, dark brown and black frames are created primarily for you; in addition, your companions are dark lilac, dark burgundy, and red shades.
Blue and gray eyes and frame color
Light eyes will harmonize well with dark brown and light brown frames; blue and silver colors are also considered successful.
Green eyes and frame color
Green eyes are the only ones of their kind, matched by a frame color that is close to the eye shade. In addition, do not forget about classic black and brown glasses, as well as bright orange and burgundy frames.
marsh to match eye color burgundy for green eyes blue for blue eyesWhen choosing glasses, do not be lazy to apply all the knowledge you have acquired. Shape and color can change your appearance in incredible ways. And here, unfortunately, positive transformation does not always take place.
Regardless of your goals, improving your vision or hiding your eyes from the sun, glasses should undoubtedly decorate your face. And along with makeup, eyebrow shape or hairstyle, glasses radically change appearance and even the shape of the face. And so as not to play at a disadvantage, let's look at some points.
Golden Rule. The upper border of the frame should not be higher than the eyebrow line, and the lower border should not rest against your cheeks, even when you smile.
The easiest way is to choose glasses according to your face shape, or rather go against the shape of your face.
What does it mean? If you have strong, sharp features, choose frames that are round and sleek. And vice versa, the face is rounded - the frames are square and massive. More on this below.
Oval
Almost all frame shapes suit oval faces. Here you should only pay attention to the fact that your glasses and face are in balance. Not too big or small, narrow or wide. It is better that the width of the frame coincides with the widest part of the face.
Your forms: b butterflies, aviators, kitties, rectangular, round and oval.
Circle
It is better to highlight roundness with geometric, rigid and massive frames.Try to choose frames that are wider than your face.Opt for angular and more geometric silhouettes.A bright colored frame, perhaps with some decoration or print, is also your option. Another option: a narrow bridge, thin high arms, but the glasses themselves are large, with a wide upper part.
Your forms: Square, cats, butterflies extended on the sides, trapezoid, sports.
Not your forms: Round.
Square
The opposite of the round shape. We choose soft, smooth shapes.
Your forms: Round, oval, droplets, cats, butterflies, rimless glasses, aviators.
Not your forms: square, small and narrow.
Inverted triangle (heart)
Often, girls have very elegant “hearts” small face. And you need to choose the appropriate glasses. The widest part of the glasses should be at the bottom. The frames and bridges are narrow. Light-colored glasses are also very flattering.
Your forms: round, trapezoid, aviator, rimless glasses.
Not your forms: cat, square, pointy, big and bulky frames.
Pear
The main task is to distract attention from the chin. Therefore, we choose glasses with the upper wide part. And the bottom of the glasses should in no case be sharp or square.
Your forms: cats, trapezoids, rimless glasses.
Not your forms: square, rectangular, narrow and small.
Rectangle
Everything is simple with a rectangle; we need to visually expand the face. We choose large and massive glasses.
Your forms: round, aviator, square, oval and rectangular.
Not your forms: small, narrow, rimless glasses.
Rhombus
For a diamond shape, it is important to narrow the cheekbones and widen the forehead. We also smooth out the sharp chin with soft and rounded shapes.
Your forms: square, oval, aviators, trapezoid, rimless glasses.
Not your forms: angular, wide and miniature frames.
The ultra-fashionable “cat’s eye” does not suit everyone, and round quiet shades are even more so. We tell you how to avoid getting into trouble and choose the frames of sunglasses or corrective glasses that are ideal for your face type.
There are seven types of face shapes. We explain how they differ from each other, and what “framework” suits them best. Just approach this issue responsibly (and closely to the mirror) and forever forget about the problem of choosing the perfect frame. Our recommendations are suitable for both sunglasses and corrective glasses.
Round face
This type of face is distinguished by a wide forehead, a “non-protruding” chin and plump cheeks. The length and width of the oval are proportional, as if the circle was drawn using a compass. Usually, owners of this type of face dream of reducing their roundness a little and adding more geometry to their face. Glasses without curved elements will help you achieve an “angular” effect: rectangular frames or the legendary wayfarers will do. At the same time, it is important that the glasses are not square - they should be much narrower in width than in length (otherwise you will achieve the same effect as if you were wearing round Lenons - you will emphasize your cheeks and chin even more). Oversized glasses are also not exactly your option: they will cover most of your face and create an incorrect geometry.
Suitable: rectangular and trapezoidal, cat's eye, aviators, wayfarers.
Unsuitable: round and oversized frames.
Square face
Those with angular facial features need to pay attention to models that will visually soften sharp cheekbones, a strongly prominent jawline and a wide forehead. These options include round and oval frames, as well as “cat’s eyes” - they will visually round out the lines. In this case, oversized models are also shown. Feel free to choose the most unusual of them, like a pentagon or with applications that go beyond the outline of the frame ─ all the geometry will only work to your advantage.
Suitable:"cat's eye", round, oval.
Unsuitable: square and rectangular.
Oval face
You are very lucky: this type is distinguished by balanced shapes and proportions ─ a not very wide forehead, a high noble line of cheekbones, a narrow chin and, thanks to all of the above, an open look. Almost any shape option will suit such a face, but when choosing, you will need to pay attention to the width of the frame: it must fit like a glove, otherwise the glasses will constantly fall off. Round glasses will add femininity and softness, angular options will add brutality and toughness. In any case, everyone will be complementary to an oval face. The only note: glasses that are too massive “for half the face” can kill all the charm ─ be careful with them.
Suitable: cat eye, round, square, aviators and wayfarers.
Unsuitable: oversized frames are too large.
Heart shaped face
The main features of such a face are a wide, prominent forehead, high cheekbones and a sharp chin. Your task is to balance out the slight disproportion by making the “bottom” of the face heavier and removing accents from the “top”. The most ideal form of glasses for such a face is aviators (thin metal frames and lens angles directed away from the face will look extremely advantageous). Wayfarers are also suitable, which will similarly emphasize angularity, but at the same time slightly soften and balance the shape of the face (try it if you are in love with your cheekbones).
Suitable: round and oval glasses, cat eyes, aviators and wayfarers.
Unsuitable: square and rectangular.
Triangular face
This face shape (also called pear-shaped) is characterized by a sharp, prominent jawline and a slightly widened forehead. In general, she is very attractive, it’s just that few people know how to love, appreciate and highlight her. The main rule when choosing glasses for a triangular face is to give preference to models with a lighter “bottom”, that is, those that will be more “active” on top (this can apply to both shape and color accents or patterns). Glasses with upturned corners, like a cat eye, are definitely suitable. Try experimenting with oversized models, but only round shapes ─ too geometric and with sharp corners will make you look old.
Suitable:"cat's eye", aviators, oversized.
Unsuitable: square.
Oblong face
The oblong shape differs from the oval shape by being more elongated vertically. Such faces are shown all “horizontal” models ─ those that focus on the width of the face, and not on its length (for example, the same tishades). Glasses of unusual shapes will look interesting: traditionally they shorten faces, but in in this case on the contrary, it will be beneficial. You can try glasses shaped like hearts or flowers, which are beloved by music festival fans. But if you dare to bet on something even more original, it’s an honor and honor.
Suitable:"cat's eye", round.
Unsuitable: narrow and rectangular.
Diamond face
This face shape is often compared to a diamond. It is distinguished by the fact that the widest part is located along the cheekbones, the forehead is quite massive, and the chin is sharp and narrow. In this case, the main task with the help of glasses is to achieve proportionality between the bottom and top of the face. Choose glasses that soften your cheekbones and add weight to your lower face, such as aviators or wayfarers. Oversized glasses will also be appropriate if you choose them wisely: such models should protrude no more than a couple of centimeters beyond the oval line, and be more elongated in shape than round.
Suitable: aviators, wayfarers, oversized.
Unsuitable: round.
