Ask yourself, a sales person (and a friend you should bring along) which frame best complements your face. Proportion will lead you in the right direction. The Vision Council of America recommends picking the frame shape that is in contrast to your face shape.

  • Round face: choose larger, squarer and angled frames to sharpen your features and make your face look leaner. Pick more horizontal frames and glasses with high temples.
  • Square faces will look longer and softer with narrow frames and ovals. Cat-eye frames can provide an interesting curve to the face. Semi-rimless glasses can add fluidity.
  • Heart-shaped faces will look best in aviators making the bottom of the face appear bigger. Butterfly or cat-eye styles are also appropriate. Round frames in subdued hues will balance out the heavier top.
  • Reverse heart-shapes (narrow forehead but larger cheeks and chin) will look best in cat-eye frames and heavy color.
  • Longer face: choose decorative temples, top-to-the-bottom depth frames.
  • Small face: find rimless small glasses.
  • If you've got an oval face, you are in luck - pretty much every frame will look good on you. Experiment away!

Charity Promise

Our 2012 Charity is March of Dimes. We will donate a portion of our commissions on all purchases through CafeYak.com to the March of Dimes this year. Every year, more than 21 million babies worldwide are born prematurely or with a serious birth defect. The March of Dimes works hard to change this.
