An oval-shaped face is defined by pronounced cheekbones, and equal distances between the chin, lips, nose and eyes. Oval faces are neither too round or angular, allowing them to suit a variety of glasses frames. Notably, oval faces are best suited to: 

• Square Glasses: Square glasses compliment oval faces as both have balanced proportions. Square glasses also add width to the typically longer oval head shape.
• Rectangle Glasses: Rectangle glasses add width to the oval face and add angles to the softer facial lines. These glasses also compliment the larger width of the cheekbones.
• Aviator Glasses: Aviator glasses are classic statement eyewear. The lens shape suits the gentleness of an oval face very well and draws attention towards the defined cheekbones and chin.

The frames that suit square shaped faces are round frames, oval frames and aviators. The square face can be characterised as equally broad and long, with a flat chin and flat cheekbones. It has the same width measurements across the forehead, jawline and cheekbones. The frames that suit square shaped faces are listed in detail below.

• Round Frames: Round glasses are completely spherical, adding gentleness and contrast to the angular features of the square face. Round glasses gently contrast a square face's proportions by adding a more circular, unifying accessory to the face's shape.
• Oval Frames: Oval frames, like round frames, also provide a gentle curve and softer frame to offset the natural angles of the square face. Oval frames allow the square face to appear softer as it frames the face with an elongated, rounded frame. 
• Aviator Frames: Aviator eyeglasses have teardrop shaped lenses with an angular top rim. Aviator glasses fit the square face by bringing forth the striking and angular lines characteristic of them. They emphasize the stark definition and angles of the face shape. 

The frames that suit round shaped faces are rectangular, square and cat eye frames. The round face is identifiable by its circular, fuller shape with smooth lines, full cheeks and wide cheekbones. Read below to see how these frames suit round shaped frames.

• Rectangular frames: Rectangular frames bring balance and definition to a round face shape by offsetting some of the natural fullness of the face providing length and sharpness. 
• Square frames: Square frame shapes, similarly to rectangular frames, help to break up the fullness of a round face shape by providing contour and definition to the smooth lines of the round face.
• Cat-Eye frames:Cat-eye frame shapes work well with round faces as they uplift the cheeks and bring attention to the browline for feminine charm and intriguing shape.

The frames that suit heart shaped faces are square, cat-eye and oval frames. The distinct heart shaped face is characterised by its asymmetric dimensions. A person with a heart face shape will have a wide forehead and a tapered, pointy chin. Read below to see the frames that best suit heart shaped faces.

• Square frames: Square glasses have proportional and balanced sides and edges. Whether soft or sharp in design, they add a sense of symmetry to the typically asymmetrical face shape.  
• Cat-eye frames: Cat-eye glasses resemble a feline eye with its upturned top corners. This emphasises the prominent forehead of the heart face and draws the gaze upwards. 
• Oval frames: Oval frames provide a neutral, subtle shape, creating structural harmony on the heart shaped face.

The best frames for pear faces are oval frames, cat-eye frames, and round frames. A pear-shaped face is characterised by a wider jaw, less prominent cheekbones and a narrow forehead. Read below to see the frames that best suit pear shaped faces.

• Oval frames: Oval frames are an understated shape, providing softness to the face with its subtle curves. This frame is suitable for pear faces because it adds width to the narrow, upper part of the pear face.
• Cat-Eye frames: Cat-eye frames have an exaggerated uptick corner that mimics the sharp and feline cat eye. This frame is suitable for pear faces because it draws the eye upwards to the smallest part of the facial shape and away from the wider jawline.
• Round frames: Round frames, with their unifying circular shape, are suitable for pear faces because it softens the features of the face. Round glasses for a pear face alter  the proportion of a pear face by adding width to the top of the face to offset a larger jaw.

Yes, at Oscar Wylee we have a range of low bridge fit glasses for faces with low nose bridges. The nose bridge refers to the midline of the nose, called the "bridge.” Those with low nose bridges have theirs positioned closer to the face, resulting in a flatter, less pronounced profile.

Our low nose bridge fit glasses have higher or adjustable nose pads to fit more snugly on lower nose bridges. Browse our Low Nose Bridge frames.
