Choosing glasses according to face shape is essential to balance and harmonize facial features. Here are some tips for selecting glasses based on the main face shapes:
For “round” faces:
- Characteristics: Full cheeks, face width and height are nearly equal, soft contours with no sharp angles.
- Goal: Slim and elongate the face.
- Recommended glasses:
- Angular shapes (rectangular or square) to contrast with the face's curves.
- Wide frames to give the impression of a longer, slimmer face.
- Thin temples to avoid weighing down the face.
Our recommendation is to wear ARTHUS, HORACE, or ISAAC.
For “oval” faces:
- Characteristics: Slightly prominent cheekbones, chin narrower than the forehead, balanced proportions.
- Goal: Maintain this balance.
- Recommended glasses:
- All frame shapes work well with an oval face thanks to its natural balance.
- Rectangular or oval frames are often flattering.
- Be careful not to choose frames that are too wide, as they might disrupt the face’s harmony.
Our recommendation is to wear ISAAC or HORACE.
For “square” faces:
- Characteristics: Broad forehead, angular jawline, prominent cheekbones.
- Goal: Soften the angles of the face.
- Recommended glasses:
- Rounded or oval shapes to reduce the rigidity of facial features.
- Wide glasses with soft edges (like aviator styles) to soften the look.
Our recommendation is to wear ARCHIBALD, ISAAC, or ELIOS.
But our best advice is: by owning your look, any frame can be perfect for you. Just dare to try…
The current collection is intentionally small so that our glasses can be fitted with prescription lenses, letting your style shine.
For Asian or African face types, the nose base and bridge differ from Western noses. It’s best to go for glasses with silicone nose pads. The new ARTHOD collection will help you find your perfect match.
