Fitting Guide

Choosing the right frame and color

The appropriate size for sunglasses and eyeglass frames should be proportionate with the face size, which means that smaller eyeglasses frames and sunglasses are the best for smaller faces while larger eyewear look better on larger faces. The frame shape should contrast the shape of the face (rectangle frame with a round face). These tips are not rules, but they can assist you in choosing the best frame for every face.

Face shapes

Oval Face

Any style works for persons with an oval shape. Try with the latest looks such as wraparounds or shields. Also square shaped frames with gently rounded edges and higher temples also look fabulous on an oval face.
Suggested Frames: Any frame shape.

Round Face

This face type should look for frames equal to or slightly wider then the broadest part of the face. To make the face appear longer and thinner, you may minimize the curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular styles or double brow styles. To create a longer profile try frames with higher temples. Sunglasses with brow bars also pull the eye upward, making the face appear longer.
Suggested Frames: Wider frames with angular/rectangular styles.

Diamond Face

This face shapes consists of wide or high cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin. To soften the contour of the face we recommend oval sunglasses. Another fit that will work well with this face is a soft curves square frame. The styles should be no wider then the top of the cheekbones.
Suggested Frames: Oval, Square, Rimless.

Square Face

This face shape has a B jaw line, a broad forehead and wide cheekbones. Soft curvy styles will reduce the angles of your face and give you more definition such a cat eyes. We recommend classic ovals for the face type/shape.
Suggested Frames: Round, Cat Eyes.

Oblong Face

You may widen and shorten the face with sunglass styles that do not go beyond the widest part of the face. This face type looks better with round or square shapes. Frames with short horizontal and long vertical lines will also fit well. Adding decorative or contrasting templates will make the face look wider.
Suggested Frames: Round, Square.

Triangle Face

Triangular shape faces usually have a narrow jaw and wide forehead. The lower portion of the face can be softened by accenting the eye area. Styles such as cat eyes should angle outward at the top corner and be wide enough to balance the jaw line. We recommend trying metal frames with rimless.
Suggested Frames: Frames with a straight top line, Cat Eyes Triangular shape faces usually have a narrow jaw and wide forehead.

Skin tone

Pale Complexions

We recommend trying lightweight frames like those with a touch of color such as a rose or amber. Tortoiseshell frames look great on persons with fair complexions (avoid darker versions) but clear, blue or green tinged frames may drain color from cheeks.

Dark Complexions

Olive Mediterranean, Golden or Asian skin and dark hair look stunning in silver, gold or clear frames. Avoid black, which can be too heavy for your complexion.
