Face Shape

Determining your face shape is a great place to start when looking for a pair of well-fitting eyeglasses. When you come to Cohen’s Fashion Optical, your professional Sales Associate will determine your face shape.

Square-Shaped Face

Square-shaped faces are typically proportional in length and width and characterized by a strong jaw line, square chin and broad, deep forehead. Round or oval eyeglasses are recommended to soften and add contrast to angular face shapes.

Frame Shapes for Square-Shaped Faces

Round frames help to create curves and soften square faces, minimizing angles and lengthening the faces. Frame shapes should be more horizontal than vertical.

Round-Shaped Face

Round faces have equal width and length, are characterized by soft curves and are best suited by angular frames.

Frame Shapes for Round-Shaped Faces

Angular frames help to balance a round face. In particular, rectangular-shaped frames make round faces look slimmer. Horizontal frames and frames with higher temples help to lengthen a round face.

Oval-Shaped Face

Oval-shaped faces are the easiest to fit and are characterized by balanced proportions, a narrow forehead and jaw line, a chin slightly narrower than the forehead, and usually high cheekbones. Oval-shapes faces can typically wear any frame shape.

Frame Shapes for Oval-Shaped Faces

We will try a variety of shapes, starting with rectangular or butterfly, to find your best fit. Because oval faces typically have smaller features, it is important to find frames that are proportionate.

Heart-Shaped Face

Heart-shaped faces are characterized by wide foreheads, narrower jaw lines, high cheekbones and a narrow chin.

Frame Shapes for Heart-Shaped Faces

Butterfly, Round and Cat Eye shaped frames help to balance a heart-shaped face. Frames that are wider at the bottom are recommended to offset a narrow chin and those with low temples add balance. Heart-shaped faces should avoid frames that are decorative or wider at the top.
