Find your frame

Four quick questions. No email, no sign-up — just the shapes that will look right on you, and where to shop them.

How frame shapes match face shapes

The short answer: contrast flatters. Angular faces look best in rounded frames, rounder faces gain definition from angular frames, and oval faces can wear almost any shape. Match the frame width to the widest part of your face, and let the top line of the frame follow your brow.

Face shape Wear these Why it works
Oval Square, Aviator, Geometric Balanced proportions carry almost any frame — shape becomes a style choice, not a correction.
Round Square & Rectangle, Cat Eye, Geometric Straight lines and corners add the definition round features lack.
Square Round & Panto, Aviator, Rimless Curves soften a strong jaw and wide forehead.
Heart Round & Panto, Rimless, Aviator Lighter, bottom-weighted frames balance a wider forehead and narrow chin.
Diamond Cat Eye, Round, Rimless Upswept and oval lines highlight cheekbones while softening angular temples and chin.
Oblong Oversized Square, Aviator, Geometric Tall lenses and strong horizontal lines visually shorten a longer face.
From our test bench. We put every frame on real faces before it goes live — round, square, wide, narrow. If a shape only worked on the fit model, it did not make the site. The matches above come from that testing, not from a stock chart.

Frame Finder FAQ

What glasses suit a round face?

Angular frames suit a round face best — square, rectangle, and geometric shapes add the definition round features lack. A cat eye works too: its upswept corners lengthen the face. Avoid small, perfectly round lenses, which repeat the curve instead of balancing it.

What glasses suit a square face?

Rounded frames soften a square face — round, panto, and oval lenses balance a strong jaw and wide forehead. Aviators and rimless styles also work: they add curve and keep visual weight light. Avoid boxy, sharp-cornered frames that repeat the angles.

What if my face is between two shapes?

Most faces are a mix. Pick the shape closest to your jawline — it drives the contrast rule — or run the Frame Finder twice and compare. Shapes recommended for both of your options are the safest starting point.

Does frame material change the recommendation?

Shape decides how frames flatter your face; material decides how they feel and read. Acetate makes any shape bolder, thin metal makes it lighter and subtler, and wood adds one-of-one texture. Start with shape, then choose material for weight and style.
