Men's frames often lean towards stronger lines and darker colours, but the same balancing principles apply to everyone. Use your most prominent feature — jaw, cheekbones or forehead — as your guide.
| Face shape | Widest point | Frames that often balance it |
|---|---|---|
| Oval | Forehead / cheekbones (balanced) | Most shapes; square, rectangle, geometric |
| Round | Cheeks | Rectangle, square, browline |
| Square | Jaw and forehead | Round, oval, cat-eye |
| Heart | Forehead | Oval, round, rimless |
| Diamond | Cheekbones | Browline, cat-eye, oval |
| Triangle | Jaw | Cat-eye, browline, aviator |

Size and weight
Broader faces may need L or XL frame widths. If you wear glasses all day, titanium or lightweight acetate can make a noticeable difference to comfort. See lightweight frames.
