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
