Read on to see the typical features and their recommended frames.
A round-shaped face:
Typical features: Curving chin and fuller cheeks Recommendation: Opt for angular, flat, rectangular lenses that help make your face appear longer and thinner. If you have a cool complexion, try a pair of tortoiseshell glasses frames for men. Steer clear: Thick frames (they can look a little too chunky!)
A square-shaped face:
Typical features: Broad chin and strong jawline Recommendation: Round and thin frames help to soften your impression, whilst squared-off shape lenses can work for creating a stronger profile. Steer clear: Narrow & rectangular lenses will make you look a little squinty!
A heart-shaped face:
Typical features: Wide cheekbones that lead to a narrow chin and an irregular V-shaped hairline Recommendation: Stick to square or rectangular frames to help create a balance among your features Steer clear: Chunky frames won’t work with the curves in your face shape, but ultra-narrow frames could look a little lost. Try to find a balance between them!
An oval-shaped face:
Typical features: High cheekbones, rounded chin and taller face shape Recommendation: You’re lucky enough to suit almost all men's prescription glasses, but thicker frames will help to add definition to your face. Steer clear: Nothing too square or circular, as they may look a little chunky.
