Knowing the shape of your face is key when you’re shopping for fashion eyewear. Not only will it help you choose your next pair with more confidence, but it will also save you the headache of unnecessary returns or exchanges on eyewear that you’re not 100% obsessed with.
Below you’ll find all you’ll need to categorise the shape of your face along with links to our favourite style recommendations, allowing you to shop from the comfort of your own home! (The dream, right?)
What is my face shape?
Ever tried on a pair of sunglasses that looked amazing on display but just didn’t hit the same when you put them on? That’s where knowing your face shape comes in—it’s a total game-changer when shopping for eyewear.
Knowing your face shape means you can shop smarter and skip the whole trial-and-error struggle (because who has time for that?).
Below, we’ve broken down the key face shapes, along with easy tips to help you identify yours.
Plus, we’ve linked our top frame picks for each shape, so you can find the one—from the comfort of your couch.

square shaped face
a broad forehead with angular features and a prominent jawline are all characteristics of a square-shaped face. gorgeous babes such as olivia wilde and hailey bieber share these facial features if you’re ever in need of a visual reference.
individuals with square-shaped faces should keep in mind that frame designs such as round, oval, or cat-eye silhouettes will complement and soften their face shape. with a face as striking as yours, opt for eyewear that is slightly wider than your cheekbones and smaller in height, as this will create a harmonious and natural look.

heart shaped face
heart-shaped faces are typically wider at the brow, with the structure of the face tapering down toward a narrow chin. people with this face shape usually have killer cheekbones, like our favourites kourtney kardashian, zooey deschanel, and lupita nyong’o.
if you have a heart-shaped face, it’s recommended that you look for frames that add weight to the lower part of your face. this will widen the appearance of your chin and downplay the width of your forehead. avoid frames that are embellished or broader at the top than the bottom as they’ll compete versus complement your face shape. reach for styles that will create balance like a swept-up cat-eye, or an oval shape that will draw attention to and accentuate your eyes.

oval shaped face
good news, like beyoncé, bella hadid, and rhianna, nearly any frame will suit your face shape. an oval-shaped face is almost perfectly proportional with a curved chin and well-defined cheekbones. the oval shape has no prominent points or angles; it’s recommended to emphasise the natural balance of the face with the addition of angular styles. the most distinguishable feature is that an oval face is longer in length than in width.
whether you prefer a cat-eye, square, or rectangle frame – it won’t matter too much; they will all look great on you.

round shaped face
if you have a more distinctly rounded chin, and the width and length of your face are roughly the same measurements, you have a round-shaped face like our favs chrissy teigen, selena gomez, and mila kunis.
people with a round face often have a more youthful and slightly angelic look. sharpen your features by opting for frames that contrast with bold, angular lines. glasses with wider lenses compared to taller ones will add height and give you a slimming look, while cat-eye frames will draw attention to your eyes and elongate them.
grab geometric, rectangular, or cat-eye frames, and it’s sure to be love at first sight when your new order arrives.
What is my face size?
Just like the eyewear that we adore, our faces come in many shapes and sizes too. That’s why it’s important to determine the size of your face before you start your eyewear selection journey. Luckily, measuring your face size is easy to do and will help avoid any possible headaches that may come from selecting eyewear that is not well suited for you.
Follow our recommended sizing guide below, and it will take the guessing game out of your next online purchase and get you that much closer to finding the perfect pair. All you have to do is determine the size of your face, and our guide will help you do the rest!
To correctly measure your face, start by looking directly into your mirror. Hold the length of a ruler or measuring tape horizontally across your face from one temple to the other. When you take down your measurements, be sure to use millimetres, as this is the metric used to determine eyewear sizing.

narrow sized face
if your measurements are 129mm or smaller, you are considered to have a narrow face. look for frames in the below 50mm range.

Medium Sized Face
If your measurements fall between 130mm - 139mm, you have a medium face. Look for frames in the 50mm - 54mm range.

Wide Sized Face
If your measurements are 145mm or bigger, you have a wide face. Look for larger frames that fall in the above 55mm range.
How do i measure my eyewear?
By now, it should be clear that knowing your face shape is very helpful when it comes to selecting eyewear. Combining your newfound knowledge with the measurements of your glasses will set you up for success. The below will highlight and help you do just that.
Here’s what you need to know…

the frame width:
the frame width is the horizontal measurement of the front-facing frame from the furthest point on either side.

the lens height:
the lens height is the vertical distance between the lowest and tallest point of your lens, just before the rim of the frame.

the lens width:
The lens width is the horizontal measurements of one of your lenses at its widest points. This is the most important measurement to ensure that your lenses fit your eyes.

the bridge:
the bridge width is the distance between your two lenses, measured from the innermost point on each lens. A proper bridge width will make for a secure, comfortable fit on your nose.

Temple Size (Arms):
Temple length is the length of your glasses’ arms. It’s the distance between the tip of the arm to where it meets the frame.

unique code:
All these measurements, excluding the frame width, are typically found in the arm of the glasses. Lens width (54), bridge (18), and temple size (145)
