Choosing Frames for Your Face Shape

Choosing Frames for Your Face Shape - Eye Station Opticians

The right frame does more than correct your vision — it balances your features and elevates your whole look. The secret is simple: choose frames that contrast with your face shape rather than mirror it.

Identify Your Face Shape

Stand in front of a mirror and trace the outline of your face. Most people fall into one of five shapes: round, square, oval, heart or diamond. Knowing yours is the first step to finding frames that flatter.

Best Frames for Each Shape

  • Round face: Angular and rectangular frames add definition.
  • Square face: Round or oval frames soften strong jawlines.
  • Oval face: Lucky you — most shapes work; try bold or geometric styles.
  • Heart face: Light, bottom-heavy or rimless frames balance a wider forehead.
  • Diamond face: Cat-eye and oval frames highlight your cheekbones.

Don’t Forget Colour and Proportion

Frame colour should complement your skin tone and hair, while frame size should match your face scale — neither overwhelming nor too small. When in doubt, our in-store stylists will help you try options side by side.

Browse hundreds of designer frames at Eye Station, or use our Find Your Frame filter to shop by shape and colour in seconds.
