Best Glasses for a Square Face Shape
Round and oval frames soften the angles of a strong jaw.
This guide is for the square face shape: jaw at least 90% of the cheekbone width, with a face length under 1.45 times the cheekbone width.
Try
- Round, oval and aviator-style frames
- Thin frames with a slightly curved top
- Cat-eye styles that lift and soften the face
- Lighter colours and softer tones
Skip or adjust
- Square and rectangular frames that repeat the jaw
- Very heavy, thick frames that add more strength
- Frames that are much narrower than the jaw
