Finding the right eyewear frame for your face can be a challenge, especially when you're shopping online. Not only are there countless frame options out there, but there are personal characteristics to factor in as well. It's easiest to start by gaining a clear understanding of your face's shape, size, and skin tone. This way you can eliminate ill-fitting frame styles and narrow down your options. Keep reading to discover what types of frames best suit your facial structure.
Frame styles by face shape.
Square.
Square faces are defined by a strong jawline and broad forehead. Round and oval shapes with thin frames, like Even G1 A, soften these angular features. Be sure to avoid square or rectangular frames as they can accentuate the sharp lines.
Heart.
Heart-shaped faces have prominent cheek bones, a wide forehead, and a narrow chin. You'll want round or oval frames that soften the chin and balance the forehead — like Even G1 A with Clip. Frames with wider bottoms add balance to the lower face.
Oval.
Oval faces are characterized by balanced proportions and a slightly narrower forehead and chin. Pretty much any frame style works for this shape, including Even G1 A and B. You have a range of frames to choose from, but look for wider ones to maintain that balance.
Round.
Round faces have an equal width and length and soft, rounded features. To add structure, you should go with rectangular or square frames — ones with angles and definition like Even G1 B. Look for frames with strong brow lines to create a more defined look.
Additional fitting tips.
Proportionality.
Regardless of your face shape, you should choose frames that're proportional to your face size. For a more comfortable fit and a clear view, make sure the frame aligns with or slightly below your brow line.
Comfort.
Make sure the frames fit comfortably on your nose and ears. Gently move them closer together to narrow the bridge and prevent slippage. Spread each nose pad apart, one at a time, for a wider fit. Here's how to adjust Even G1 smart glasses.
Color.
Consider your skin tone and hair color when deciding on frame color. Here's how you can find the right look.
Grey frames:
- Cool skin tones: Grey frames, especially those with cool blue undertones, look excellent. Lighter grey frames soften features, while darker greys provide a more defined look.
- Neutral skin tones: Neutral skin tones can pull off nearly any shade of grey.
- Hair color: Grey frames are wonderfully compatible with grey hair, creating a sophisticated look. They also pair well with cool toned blonde, brunette, and black hair.
Brown frames:
- Warm skin tones: Brown frames, particularly those with warm, golden undertones, are highly complementary. Tortoiseshell patterns, which often include brown hues, also look nice.
- Neutral skin tones: Brown frames are a versatile choice for neutral skin tones.
- Hair color: Brown frames compliment warm-toned blonde, red, and brunette hair.
Green frames:
- Warm skin tones: Earthy greens, like olive or forest green, enhance warm undertones.
- Cool skin tones: Deeper, emerald greens provide a nice contrast.
- Hair color: Green frames are particularly striking with red hair, but also go well with warm brown and blonde hair.
- Eye color: Green frames really make green or hazel eyes pop.
