    Frequently asked questions

    How do I know what shape my face is?

    Pull your hair back and look in a mirror, then trace the outline of your face. Most people fall into one of six categories: round, oval, square, heart, oblong, or diamond. Measuring your forehead, cheekbones, jawline, and face length gives you a precise answer in under a minute.

    What frames suit every face shape?

    Wayfarer-style and rectangular frames in medium proportions tend to flatter the widest range of face shapes. They balance soft and angular features without overwhelming any one of them, which is why they remain a year-after-year bestseller across both prescription glasses and sunglasses.

    Does face shape matter for sunglasses too?

    Yes, the same fit principles apply. Sunglasses tend to be larger than optical frames, so the difference is more visible on your face. Choosing a shape that complements your features makes sunglasses feel intentional and well-fitted rather than borrowed or oversized.

    Can I wear a frame shape that doesn't match my face?

    Absolutely. Face shape guidelines are starting points, not rules. Some of the best eyewear choices intentionally play against face shape for a distinctive look. The right pair is the one that feels right to you. Face shape simply helps you understand why certain frames flatter more than others.

    Where should I start if I know my face shape but not my frame style?

    Start by browsing frames in the shapes recommended for your face, then narrow by colour, material, and size from there. If you're ready to start, the eyeglasses collection is a good place to browse by shape, style, and material.
