Face Shape & Frame Style Recommendations

Face Shapes and Frame Style Recommendation

The importance of determining our face shape and picking the dedicated frame style has become inevitable. After understanding our face shape – we avoid making wrong picks and order a frame that fits sensationally well on our visage.

This can be tricky – as before making a decision - we must evaluate the highs and lows of our face to choose a style that accords the best bang for our buck. Which face shape do you exhibit?


Round Face 

1 - Round Face Shape

This face shape exhibits a circle shape with equal width and length. It has soft curves without angular hard lines.

Heart Face

Aviators, Ovals, Rectangles.

Frame Tips:

For this shape - be more inclined towards rectangular and oval frames. For women, order frames with low-positioned temples to reduce the wide forehead.
