Choosing the best frame based on the shape of your face

The shape of your glasses needs to contrast, not look like, the shape of your face. The right frame will provide balance to your face, correcting and harmonizing its features.

Square faces, opt for a curve!

The forehead is larger andthe jawline is well-defined.

To soften your face, opt for curves. Choose oval or cat eye frames. Choose styles that aren't too big, feature soft lines with a delicate rim or half-rim.

Round faces get angular

The face is defined by rounded lines. Length and width are of the same proportion, there are no angles and all features are soft.

Choose a frame that will elongate and refine your face. We particularly recommend angular shapes, narrow and rectangular frames or those with retro-like defined angles. Sports frames are also ideal thanks to their tapered style.

Oval faces, unlimited choices

It’s the ideal shape because it is so balanced, it is also the most common shape. The lower part of the face and the chin are slightly narrower than the forehead.

You're so lucky - all types of frame will suit you! Classic, eccentric and sophisticated styles can be selected – you can choose your frames according to your personality. Just avoid over-sized glasses that can overwhelm, select a size that respects the dimensions of your face.

Heart-shaped faces will fall for these frames

Diamond shape faces feature a large forehead, high cheekbones and a small chin.

Wear selections that feature curved lines or round frames with a bridge between the eyes to break the width of the forehead. Frames whose shape is larger on the lower section of the glasses are also a good choice.

Rectangular faces, make a big statement!

This face is longer than it is wide, with narrow chin and cheekbones.

The frame needs to create the impression of a wider face. Turn your attention toward big frames, even oversized ones. Wrap-around sports glasses are also recommended.

Choosing eyeglasses that suit your personality and lifestyle

Eyeglasses are a great way to express your style. Whether you're looking to buy your first pair, or just want to try something different, why not get frames that complement your personality!

Once the technical and ophthalmic requirements are met, the frame you select should match your personality. Therefore, take the time to choose the right material (plastic, metal or a combination), the colour, and the accessories (type of nose pads, arms, etc.).

The frame you select must be compatible with your lifestyle, work, and hobbies. Some jobs and workplaces may require specific eyewear for protection, durability. The temperature and exposure to sunlight are also factors to consider.
