Frames that suit square faces
Round frames
Curves balance strong angles.
Oval frames
Soften a wide jaw and forehead.
Rimless or semi-rimless
Light frames don't add more hard lines.
Cat-eye frames
Upswept corners draw attention to the cheekbones.
Frames to avoid
- Boxy square frames that repeat the jaw.
- Frames narrower than the jaw.
Fit matters as much as shape
Whatever the shape, the frame should be about as wide as your face at the temples, your eyes should sit near the horizontal center of each lens, and the top of the frame should follow your brow line.
