frames that will look fantastic on you.

Oblong Face Shape

Oblong faces are rectangular in shape. They are long and slender with a

straight cheek line and a prominent chin.

• Frames with more depth, such as a

<a

href="https://www.spex4less.com/glasses?a1_frame_style=Square"

class="text-blue-500 hover:underline"

>bold square shape</a

>, will offset the length of your face.

• Decorative details and different colours and textures will add some width

to your face.

• Avoid narrow and rectangular frames as they will make your face appear

longer.

• To highlight the natural balance of your face, a

>cat-eye frame</a

>

with upswept corners will emphasise your cheekbones.

Diamond Face Shape

Diamond-shaped faces are the rarest face shape. They have a narrow eye line

and jawline with high, dramatic cheekbones.

• Strong detailing will accentuate your eyes and soften the lower portion of

your face.

• Small

will soften the angular lines of your face.

• For men, try a

>metal rectangular frame</a

>

to contrast your facial features.

• For women, try a

>cat-eye frame</a

>

that angles towards the top corner and follows the lines of your face.

• Top-heavy

<a

href="https://www.spex4less.com/glasses/f/semi_rimless"

class="text-blue-500 hover:underline"

>semi-rimless frames</a

>

will work well to contrast with your cheekbones.

Square Face Shape

Many different kinds of glasses suit square faces. This shape face has a

broad, deep forehead, wide jawline and square chin.

• Soften the edges with an oval frame which will also add

contrast to your angular features.

• A stylish feminine

<a

href="https://www.spex4less.com/glasses/cat-eye/f/womens"

will soften your edges and add a bit of flair.

• Avoid thin, angular and square styles as these will draw attention to your

chin.

• Complement your face shape with large silhouettes like solid

>round acetate frames</a

>.

Heart Face Shape

This is typically the most versatile of all the face shapes. Heart-shaped

faces have a broad forehead and wide cheekbones that narrow down to a small

chin. Lots of frames suit heart-shaped faces.

• Choose frames that will provide contrast and balance to your face.
• Frames that are wider at the top than the bottom will add width to the top

of your face without exaggerating your cheeks.

• Try light-coloured or

href="https://www.spex4less.com/glasses/f/rimless"

>rimless frames</a

>

for something subtle that softens your features.

• Wear

href="https://www.spex4less.com/glasses/oval?a1_frame_style=30"

class="text-blue-500 hover:underline"

>oval-shaped</a

>

glasses as they won’t overemphasise your cheekbones.

Triangular Face Shape

A triangular face shape has a narrow forehead and widens at the cheeks and

chin areas.

• Wide frames are good for triangle face shapes, as they add width to a

narrow forehead.

• Frames that are heavily

>accented on the top with detailing and colour</a

>

will add balance to the lower third of your face.

• Glasses with a wide or bold brow line will draw attention away from your

jawline and elongate your forehead.

• Glasses that are darker on top and lighter at the bottom, such as

<a

>aviators</a

>, are ideal for this face shape.

Oval Face Shape

People with oval faces suit most frame shapes. Oval faces are well-balanced

and softly rounded, with a forehead slightly wider than the jaw, and high

cheekbones.

• A

>cat-eye shape</a

>

will complement your face's natural lines and add a vintage twist to your

look.

• Details on the arms will further define your face shape.
• If you prefer subtle, go for a large,

href="https://www.spex4less.com/glasses/round?a1_frame_material=21"

class="text-blue-500 hover:underline"

>rounded metal frame</a

>.

• Or, go bold with a funky colour, texture, or frame shape like a

></a

>.

Round Face Shape

A round face is all about curves. Round faces are fairly short with a wide

forehead, and often with full cheeks and a rounded chin.

• Balance out your features with a strong brow line.

<a href="#" class="text-blue-500 hover:underline"

>Semi-rimless frames</a

are ideal for achieving this.

>Cat-eye glasses</a

have the ability to add length to your face.

• Sharper edges create angles and have a flattering effect. Choose styles

with bold, angular details and clean lines.
