The Best Frames for your Face

At Southern Optical Service in Nashville, we want you to pick the best frames for facial structure! When choosing the right frames for your face, you should consider your face shape first. There are four basic face shapes: heart, round, oval and square.

If you have a HEART shaped face, your goal should be to minimize the width of the top of your face and also to broaden your chin. If you have a heart-shaped face, you should avoid frames that could exaggerate the width of your forehead or the narrowness of your chin.

ROUND face? Your goal should be to add contrast to your faces' natural curves.  By adding contrast, you can make a round face appear thinner and longer. Avoid frames that add to the roundness of your face! Choose glasses that are wider rather than they are tall because wider frames give the illusion of a slimmer face

Are you rocking an OVAL shaped face? Well, according to the general population, you are the lucky ones! Oval shaped faces are said to be the most symmetrically balanced therefore, can wear basically any frame! Frames that are as wide or slightly wider than the broadest part of your face will help maintain oval's natural balance. Glasses with detailed embellishments also look great with the high cheek bones typically found on oval faces.

Is your face more of a SQUARE shape? When looking for frames, your main goal should be to lengthen and soften your face's natural angularity and to avoid frames that might exaggerate the sharpness of facial features. By adding curving lines, you can make a square face appear thinner and softer. Choose glasses that are wider than they are deep and neutral in color. Oversized frames help to distract from the harshness of your jaw line.
