We know how hard it is to chose the right optical frame whose shape and colour will complement your features. This is why we created this little guide that captures the best tips we collected over our 10 years + experience in making eyewear:

Oval-shaped face

OVAL

If you have an oval face shape, you're in luck. Your choices are wide and varied. Look for glasses that are a touch wider than your face, they will accentuate your cheekbones.

Shop Cairo, Portofino, Santiago

SQUARE

If you have a square-shaped face go for oversized roundish glasses. A cat-eye will also lift up your face and rounder shapes will soften the angles.

Shop Istanbul, St Louis, Portofino

Square-shaped face
Round-shaped face

ROUND

Choose a frame that will make your face look slimmer and longer. More graphic, squarer shapes will work well.

Shop Montreal, Rome, Monaco

HEART

Choose a frame that provides contrast to your heart shaped face and doesn't imitate it. Try to find a frame that minimises the width of the top of the face or something graphic.

Shop Tokyo, New York, Paris

heart-shaped face

Over or below the eyebrows?
Below. Make sure your frames finish just below your eyebrows as they frame your face - your glasses should accentuate your features not hide them.

How to choose the right colour?
Use the colours of your frames like you would use makeup or like your clothes - choose frames in colours that enhance your colouring and hair-colour.
