Here’s a little crash course on face shapes featuring some recommended OJOs that’ll suit you, in case you’re planning to upgrade your frames anytime soon. Round face Softer angles are the biggest asset of this face type. Their forehead, cheekbones, and jaw are a little bit wider compared to others. Choosing angular, wider frames is the key to creating an illusion of length for round faces. Going for bold designs is the key to amp up your specs game. Another way to go around this is to choose rectangular and square frames as well. Square face This face type definitely has a strong cheekbone game. They have a wide, angular jawline and a broad forehead too. The best frames to go well with square faces are rectangular, round, oval, and some cat eyes too. It’s good to balance your facial symmetry by choosing frames that complement your structure and softens your features as well. Oval face Similar to people with round faces, people with this face type also have wider cheekbones. But what makes this type unique is the gentle narrowing on their forehead and jaw. This quality gives oval faces a wider array of options in terms of choosing their specs. However, they might need to steer clear from frames with bolder designs. These frames would add an unnecessary length to their face. Heart face People with this face type have a wide forehead that gradually narrows down the jaw. In choosing frames to complement this face type, it’s best to go with round and oval frames with a minimalist silhouette. Folks who’d love a bolder style choice can go for frames with a geometric eye shape or for classics like aviators. Diamond face It’s another face type with a strong cheekbone game going on. People with this shape tend to have a narrower forehead, angular jawline, and of course, prominent cheekbones. Frames that often go well with diamond faces are rimless glasses or oval frames with a strong brow line.
