How to measure your face shape at home

A quick five-step method using a mirror, a soft tape measure, and three reference points: forehead, cheekbones, and jawline.

Find your face shape

Round faces

Round faces have soft curves and similar width and length, so frames with angles and structure add definition. Rectangular, square, and geometric shapes work especially well, as do bolder browlines that draw the eye upward.

Square faces

Square faces have a strong jaw and a broader forehead, so softer, curved frames help balance the angles. Round, oval, and cat-eye shapes are the most flattering, with rimless or thin frames adding lightness.

Heart faces

Heart-shaped faces are widest at the forehead and narrow at the chin. Frames that widen toward the bottom, like aviators, oval, or rimless rectangles, help balance the proportions naturally.

Oblong faces

Oblong faces are noticeably longer than they are wide. The best frames add width and visual interest at the eye line, making the face appear more balanced. Oversized and decorative frames work well.

Diamond & triangular faces

Diamond and triangular face shapes have prominent cheekbones with a narrower forehead and jawline. Frames that draw attention upward, cat-eye, browline, and oval shapes, soften the cheekbones and balance the upper face.

Asian fit & low bridge

Asian fit and low bridge frames are designed for faces with a lower nose bridge, a fit detail that standard frames often miss. The result is frames that sit properly without slipping, pinching, or leaving marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what shape my face is?

Pull your hair back and look in a mirror, then trace the outline of your face. Most people fall into one of six categories: round, oval, square, heart, oblong, or diamond. Measuring your forehead, cheekbones, jawline, and face length gives you a precise answer in under a minute.

What frames suit every face shape?

Wayfarer-style and rectangular frames in medium proportions tend to flatter the widest range of face shapes. They balance soft and angular features without overwhelming any one of them, which is why they remain a year-after-year bestseller across both prescription glasses and sunglasses.

Does face shape matter for sunglasses too?

Yes, the same fit principles apply. Sunglasses tend to be larger than optical frames, so the difference is more visible on your face. Choosing a shape that complements your features makes sunglasses feel intentional and well-fitted rather than borrowed or oversized.

Can I wear a frame shape that doesn't match my face?

Absolutely. Face shape guidelines are starting points, not rules. Some of the best eyewear choices intentionally play against face shape for a distinctive look. The right pair is the one that feels right to you. Face shape simply helps you understand why certain frames flatter more than others.

Where should I start if I know my face shape but not my frame style?

Start by browsing frames in the shapes recommended for your face, then narrow by colour, material, and size from there. If you're ready to start, the eyeglasses collection is a good place to browse by shape, style, and material.
