Picking your Glasses by Face Shape: A Quick Guide

If you’ve found the right outfit to match your own unique style, you don’t want your glasses to let you down. Some people feel self-conscious about wearing their glasses because their chosen pair doesn’t suit their face shape. Here are some suggestions on getting the right pair, so you can pick the best glasses, based on the closest shape to your face.

Glasses to suit round faces

EyeBuyDirect has a range of prescription sunglasses, so you can look extra stylish while making it look effortless. If you have a round face, full-rimmed or semi-rimmed glasses could be the best options for you.

Some of these include the Salvador sunglasses, which are available in three colors, so whatever outfit you’re wearing, one of these will add that extra touch and make you stand out for all the right reasons.

Alternatively, if you want to splash out a little, the Ray-Ban RB2140 Wayfarers could be the perfect pair for you. Both these pairs, like many others, are available in prescription and non-prescription, so it doesn’t matter whether you need them to correct vision problems or as a fashion accessory.

 

Glasses to suit square faces

Having a square-shaped face means lots of styles will suit you, but round frames or aviator glasses will definitely make you feel at your best when you try them out. One style to avoid is square frames, as these can make you appear stern or overly serious.

One pair we recommend are the Flier aviator black sunglasses, although these come in golden too, in case you prefer a lighter color. They’re great for spending time outdoors.

 

Oval-shaped faces

The main style to avoid if you have an oval-shaped face is any design with narrow frames. These can make your face seem longer than it really is. Large or wide frames are great for anyone with an oval-shaped face.

One suggestion is the Determined rectangle sunglasses in black. The frames are comfortable, and the orange strip provides a great contrast to the black color. If you have an active lifestyle, these will suit you very well.

 

Heart-shaped

Thinner frames and light colors can suit glasses wearers with heart-shaped faces. Many styles will suit you, but try to avoid extravagant colors.

Chorus in light gold or silver are great options to try and are fantastic value too. Sometimes, you don’t have to spend a fortune to look fashionable. The nose pads ensure comfort too, so you’ll barely notice you’re wearing them.

 

Diamond-shaped

If you have a diamond-shaped face, you’ll look amazing in a pair of rimless oval-shaped sunglasses. Daze in rose gold is a great option for you and has adjustable nose pads for extra comfort. They’re also available in three other colors.

Geek glasses

Whichever shape your face is, you’ll find all the glasses mentioned at EyeBuyDirect. So you can make prescription or non-prescription sunglasses part of your unique style, whether you have poor vision or not.
