While we don’t believe in putting ourselves in a stylistic box, we love to find looks that enhance our features and let our personal, unique style shine through! Your face can be different shapes and that’s okay! Just keep this in mind when trying on different frames to help balance your look. There are approximately five different face shapes: oval, square, round, diamond and heart.

Tip 1: For oval faces

Most ovals can fit a variety of face shapes because of the balance from the forehead to the cheekbones to the chin. A larger or wider frame will be your best friend! VW frames are recommended – Ayana

Tip 2: For square faces

While being square can be cool, a round or oval frame will help soften your angular features. Try to find a frame that is slightly wider than your cheekbones.
VW frames are recommended – Ling, Selwyn

Tip 3: For round faces

Tip 4: For diamond faces

A rare face shape that has all the angles! A chunky brown line like a horn rim will accentuate cheekbones while remaining soft on the rest of your face. An easy choice would be oval or rectangular. VW frames are recommended – Taraji, V609
