The Two Golden Rules of Face Framing

1. Your frames should be proportional to your face size. Otherwise, you’ll be out of balance & noticed for all the wrong reasons.

2. Offset, offset, offset.... avoid frames that echo the shape of your face. It’s just too much.

ROUNDYou already have a great deal of symmetry. In case you didn’t know, that’s the maths behind beauty you pretty thing.

You’re free to set yourself apart with distinctive sunglasses as well as wear any shape. Make a statement with trendy colour play and angular styles if you fancy it.

But, offsetting is advised even for one so symmetrical. Oversized frames and rectangular ones can serve to lengthen your face, striking the right balance.

OVALCongratulations, your oval face can carry off any shape. But you may want to take down the length a little, offsetting that strong vertical line. Rectangular styles are perfect for that.

Feel free to experiment with the edgiest shapes too, including the trendy flat top.

Retro shapes heavy on character and colour pop frames are more exciting options for you.

squareGentlemen, your chiselled jaw and brow epitomises classical and enviable masculinity. Ladies, you’re in the company of such beauties as Angelina and Keira.

The strength of your face shape needs no accentuating though. Sharp, square sunglasses will; so are best avoided. Offset with rounds, ovals, aviators and generally curvy styles. All will accentuate the eye line.

Rimless and semi-rimless sunglasses soften particularly sharp-edged faces. Neutral tones, gradient lenses and frames will do that too.

HEARTBalancing the top heavy heart-shaped face is easy. Just lengthen by bringing attention to the tapered part of the face. The aviator’s perfect - it draws the eye to your jaw and lips.

With a broad area around the eye line, the least fuss on your frames the better. So cool it on temple depth and detail.

Slimmer lines, rimless and semi-rimless styles and gradient lenses help hit the balance too. Minimalist crystal clear acetate and laser-cut flat metal give you the balance you need and cutting edge style.

oblongYour sunglasses can flatter you immensely by gently shortening your face. Oversized frames will be your go-to. The horizontal line of the rectangular frame too.

If you’ve a particularly sharp square oblong face, offset with curvier shapes such as rounds, aviators and soft squares. All those shapes can be had oversized too.

You’re well placed to take on the trendy supersize sunglass too, which swamps those with shorter faces.
