A guide to frames

Which Frame Is Right for Me?

Choosing the right frame starts with understanding your face shape. This guide is designed to help you identify your natural proportions and explore frame styles that enhance balance, structure, and comfort — without rigid rules.

How to Identify Your Face Shape

Stand in front of a mirror or use your phone camera. Pay attention to:

  • The width of your cheekbones

  • The shape of your jawline

  • The relationship between face length and width

Your face shape is about overall balance, not exact measurements.

Face Shapes & Frame Guidance

  • Oval. Balanced proportions with softly rounded contours

  • Round. Soft curves with similar width and length

  • Square. Strong lines with defined angles

  • Heart. Wider forehead with a narrower chin

  • Diamond. Defined cheekbones with a sculpted silhouette

  • Rectangle. Longer proportions with straighter sides
