Eyeglasses Frames Shapes FAQs

How do I choose my glasses shape?

When choosing your glasses shape, a good place to start is to consider your face shape. The general rule is to find a frame that contrasts with the shape of your face. For example, people with a softer and rounder facial shape may benefit more from a frame shape that has angles – such as square or rectangle frames. Conversely, more angular face shapes may find that round glasses – like ovals or round glasses – can bring more balance to their features.

What shape of glasses are trending now?

Most of our recent customers purchased frames that are Korean-inspired, which are round, cat eye, geometric and aviators!

Does frame shape affect vision?

Frame shape doesn’t necessarily affect vision, as long as you get the sizing of your glasses right. The corrective part of glasses is the lenses, which are encased by the frames. However, the strength of your prescription can affect the thickness of your lenses, which in turn can determine what type of frame style would work best for you. However, we offer full-framed glasses in a range of different shapes, so your style needs are covered!

What eyeglass shape makes you look younger?

Going for a chunky or playful frame shape can add some youth to your face – if that’s what you’re after! Try out a bold pair of oversized or cat-eye frames, or something with a thicker rim on the brow.

What shape of eyeglasses is best for chubby face?

Larger or rounder shaped faces tend to look best with eyeglass shapes that are more angular – such as square, rectangular, or geometric glasses. You may also want to avoid frames that are too small.
