Guide to Choosing the Right Eyewear Frame for Your Face Shape

Introduction

This doesn’t just mean finding a pair of lenses that improve your vision, either — this means finding a pair that helps showcase your personality and style, too. Eyewear is one of the first features people will take notice of in your appearance, so choosing the right frame can reinvigorate your whole look. Yet there are so many designs, materials, and shapes that how do you know what’s really right for you? It all comes down to your face shape. In this guide, we’ll help you figure out what your face shape is and what frames work well with it. We will show you how, along the way, ZEELOOL takes the guesswork and drudgery out of this process (and makes it fun and stylish).

Understanding your face shape

To select the best eyewear for your face shape, first you need to know what face shape you have. No two faces are alike, but most types can be lumped into broad categories like round, oval, square, heart, diamond, and triangle. The easiest way to figure out your face shape is to stand in front of a mirror with your hair slicked back or take a straight-on selfie. Notice the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline and the length of your face. Once you know your shape, you are ready to hunt for the frames that will highlight your best features.

Round face: Add angles and structure

You likely have a round face if your face has soft curves, the same width as length, and a rounded chin. The aim here is to give your naturally round features some shape and angles. You want rectangular and square frames because this contrast can make a round face look longer and thinner. Steer clear of round or tiny frames because they emphasize the roundness. ZEELOOL's collection of rectangular styles adds some edge and sophistication to rounder faces for everyday wear.

Oval face: The most adaptable canvas

Oval face shapes are typically considered the most flattering frame shapes. This shape is longer than it is wide, with softly rounded features and a narrower jawline. This squad holds balanced proportions that allow for a wider variation in styles. Square, geometric, and even bold or oversize frames typically work nicely for oval faces. Just be careful of oversized, dominating frames. ZEELOOL's collection features geometric frames that add a stylish vibe to oval-shaped faces without overshadowing your natural shape.

Square face: Soften angular features

With a square face, defined by a wider forehead, strong jawline, and angular features which can soften those lines. Curvy shapes, like round or oval frames, can create a visual balance to your face, softening sharp angles. Avoid square or boxy frames that could highlight your natural squareness. On square faces, ZEELOOL shows lightweight oval frames with thin rims. These balance and soften features of a strong face structure.

Heart-shaped face: Create symmetry between the forehead and the chin

Heart-shaped faces usually have a wide forehead and cheekbones tapering down to a pointed chin. For a great balance, opt for frames that are lighter in look or wider at the bottom. Rimless or semi-rimless styles have a lovely effect by directing the eye downward. Avoid top-heavy designs that round out the forehead. For heart-shaped faces, ZEELOOL’s sleek metal aviator styles and transparent frames are able to achieve just the right amount of balance and elegance.

Show off your cheekbones with a diamond face

Diamond-shaped faces have narrow foreheads and chins, with dramatic, high cheekbones. The right frames for this shape highlight the eyes while softening angles. Opt for cat-eye or oval frames to suit them best. These shapes provide curves and balance at the widest points of your face. Steer clear of narrow frames that hone in on sharpness. You can accentuate your cheekbones and showcase your individuality while feeling confident with ZEELOOL’s bold cat-eye eyeglasses.

Triangle face: Focus upward

Triangle-shaped faces usually have a smaller forehead and a wider jawline. The secret to this is to blend upward and keep your look balanced. Browline frames, or those that have detailing along the top rim, were also great options. These styles attract the eye upward and harmonize. Steer clear of bottom-heavy frames that could make the jaw look wider than it is. ZEELOOL’s browline frames are stylish, expressive, and ideal for triangle face shapes.

Advice on how to select a proper frame

When you’re clear on your face shape, you can take your pick to the next level with a couple of extra factors to consider. Eyewear goes beyond geometry, it’s a combination of function, fashion, and feel.

Match your personality

Glasses are a statement about you. Are you bold and adventurous? Opt for oversized frames or bright colors. Prefer something classic? Neutral hues and classic styles might be your jam. ZEELOOL’s variety helps everyone be themselves without trying too hard.

Go for colors that match your tone

Skin tone, eye color, and hair color: All of these factors can determine which frames complement your natural coloring. Nutmeg just looks better with gold, brown, and olive. Cool hues gleam with silver, gray, and blue. ZEELOOL’s color filter feature helps you find shades that complement your look.

Don’t forget comfort and fit

The most stylish pair of frames will mean nothing if it doesn’t feel right. Check that the frame is right for your nose bridge, doesn’t slide down, and feels comfortable behind the ears. Acetate or titanium are some great lightweight materials to consider, and ZEELOOL has plenty of those.

Know your prescription needs

Specific lens types are more compatible with some frame shapes. For example, progressive lenses can be difficult to use with small or narrow frames. At ZEELOOL, we offer clear product descriptions to indicate what lenses are compatible with each pair of glasses so you can shop smartly and without stress.

Try before you buy

ZEELOOL’s virtual try-on tool lets you see how they will look on your face without leaving the house. This helps you visualize how a specific frame suits your face shape before you decide.

Disregarding the proportions or shape of your face

Choosing color over comfort
