Frames for your face

A simple rule of thumb: choose a frame that contrasts with the shape of your face. Treat it as a starting point, not a rule. The best pair is the one you enjoy wearing.

• Round

  Soft curves, with width and length about the same.

  Angular frames add definition and make the face look longer.

• Oval

  Longer than it is wide, with a gently rounded jaw.

  Balanced proportions carry most styles. Try something bold.
