How to Choose Glasses for Your Face Shape: Frames That Enhance Your Look

Selecting the perfect pair of glasses isn't just about style; it's about choosing frames that enhance your natural features and boost your confidence. Here's a straightforward guide to identifying your face shape and picking frames that complement it perfectly, inspired by Merhoki's Spirit Eyewear Collection.

Step 1: Identify Your Face Shape

Stand in front of a mirror with your hair pulled back. Take note of your facial proportions, focusing on your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline.

Oval Face

  • Balanced forehead and jawline widths

  • Rounded chin with soft features

Square Face

  • Forehead width equals jawline width

  • Prominent, angular jawline

Round Face

  • Similar width and length

  • Rounded chin and soft cheekbones

Heart-Shaped Face

  • Wider forehead tapering down to a narrow chin

  • High cheekbones

Step 2: Match Frames to Your Face Shape

Oval Face – Versatile and Balanced

Oval faces can effortlessly pull off various frame styles. Aim for frames that add subtle contrast without overpowering your natural symmetry.

Recommended Frames:

  • Rectangular or square frames for structure

  • Oversized or geometric frames for bold statements

Square Face – Soften Angles

Choose frames that gently soften angular features.

Recommended Frames:

  • Round or oval frames to soften edges

  • Cat-eye frames to add a delicate lift

Round Face – Add Definition

Frames that introduce angles or elongation will flatter your soft features.

Recommended Frames:

  • Rectangular or angular frames for added sharpness

  • Browline frames to visually lengthen your face

Heart-Shaped Face – Balance Proportions

Opt for frames that create harmony by balancing the broader forehead with a narrower chin.

Recommended Frames:

  • Bottom-heavy frames to add width to the lower face

  • Aviator or butterfly styles to balance proportions

Timeless Eyewear Tips for All Face Shapes

  • Proportion Matters: Frame size should match your face size and not overwhelm or diminish your features.

  • Comfort First: Style means little without a comfortable fit—prioritize frames that feel good all day.

  • Personal Style: Always choose frames that resonate with your aesthetic and lifestyle.

  • Color Coordination: Select frame colors that complement your skin tone, hair, and eye color.
