Frequently asked questions

How do I know my face shape?

Look directly into a mirror with your hair pulled away from your face. Compare the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jawline, then consider whether your face is longer than it is wide. Concentrate on your most prominent features rather than trying to fit your face perfectly into one category.

What glasses make your face look slimmer?

Angular, rectangular or upswept frames can add definition and may make a round or wide face appear longer. Frames that are slightly wider than the broadest part of the face can also create balance.

Should glasses cover your eyebrows?

Glasses will normally sit close to the eyebrows and follow their natural curve. They do not need to sit completely below the brows, particularly when wearing oversized frames, but they should not hide them in a way that looks or feels uncomfortable.

Can round faces wear round glasses?

Yes. Although angular frames are commonly recommended for round faces, round glasses can still look excellent. Consider frames with a defined browline, bold colour or slightly wider proportions to add contrast.

What face shape suits most glasses?

Oval faces are often considered versatile because of their balanced proportions. However, every face shape can suit numerous frame styles when the width, fit, colour and overall proportions are right.

Are oversized glasses suitable for everyone?

Oversized glasses can suit most face shapes, but the frame should still fit securely. The temples should not bow outwards, the frames should not repeatedly slide down, and the lower rims should not rest uncomfortably on the cheeks.
