Glasses for square faces

Round and oval glasses may be a preferred choice for people with square faces. These frames could help soften and balance your strong jawline and may add contrast to your face shape.  

Whether you choose round frames for a polished look or go vintage with a pair of browline glasses, your features can suit dark colors and bold styles. But you may want to avoid square or rectangular glasses, as they could emphasize the angles of your face. Adding even more angles to your strong and proportioned face could make your face look too wide and rigid. 

What is my face shape? 

A square face shape typically has a strong, horizontal jawline, a broad forehead and balanced cheekbones. There can be many different eyeglasses styles that can highlight your features. 

How to pick the right glasses frame for your face 

Round glasses 

Round glasses can be a sophisticated, polished look that works well with a square face shape. You can try jet black for a modern aesthetic. Or you may want to opt for tortoiseshell frames. 

Browline glasses 

Browline frames are thicker at the top, mimicking the way the eyebrows frame the face. Their design can be an ideal choice for square faces. 

Oval glasses in a bright color 

The preferred glasses for square faces can soften strong angles. Oval frames can be helpful to balance your face and minimize your strong features. You can also look for a pair with some color to make a bold statement. 

It can be preferred to avoid rectangular or square frames in light colors.  

Schedule an eye exam to get your prescription and order the preferred pair of frames for your square-shaped face.
