Most suitable style: Generally any type looks good, but most probably larger styles such as wrap-arounds and aviators.

Face Shape: Square

Characteristics: Horizontal width of face similar to forehead, heavy jaw line.

Most suitable style: To minimise width of face, select fluid or round styles.

Face Shape: Round

Characteristics: Full looking face with round chin, widest point at cheeks and ears.

Most suitable style: Straight and angular shapes to sharpen and make the face look longer.

Face Shape: Triangle

Characteristics: Widest horizontally at forehead, narrower at cheekbones to chin.

Most suitable style: Choose frames that balance the face and broaden the lower part. Low temples, wider bottoms such as rimless are good.
