Your Guide to Choosing Frames for Your Face Shape

Square Face: Oval, Round, Cat's eyes glasses Reduce the angles with soft, curvy styles that will give definition. Cat's eyes styles and classic ovals work well.	Oblong Face: Round, Square glasses Widen and shorten the face with styles that do not extend beyond the widest part of the face. Round or square shapes will look great. Decorative or contrasting temples add width to the face.	Triangle Face: Straight top line, Cat's eyes glasses Soften the lower portion of the face by accenting the eye area. Cat's eyes style should angle out at the top corner, metal frames with rimless bottom also work well.
Oval Face: Any frame shape Almost any style works well for an oval face, experiment with the latest looks, such as shields, square-shaped frames or higher temples.	Round Face: Wider framed glasses A rectangular, angular frame should make the face appear longer and thinner. Look for frames equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. Soft angular, rectangle or double brow styles work well.	Diamond Face: Oval, Square, Rimless glasses Oval sunglasses will soften the contour of the face. Make sure the styles are no wider than the top of the cheekbones.
