Before we tell you which glasses match which face shape, it is important to determine which form your face actually has. Maybe you immediately see if you have a round, oval or square face, but maybe you have no idea. Then it is useful to measure the proportions of your face with a tape measure.

The "reading glasses" has traveled a long way in the past decades, the bar continues to raise the bar and challenge the status quo the industry - from the first design to the after sales for the customer, and every step between them in the design process.

This is how you do it:

• The length of your face is measured from your hairline at the top to the tip of your chin.
• You measure your jawline from the point just below your ear to the tip of your chin – multiply this number by 2.
• Measure your cheekbones just below your eyes. The tape measure goes over the bridge of your nose.
• Measure the width of your forehead just above your eyes, from hairline to hairline.

Write down the measurements and read on to see what shape your face has.

You probably have a round face if the length of your face matches the width of your cheekbones and your forehead and jawline are similar in size. These sizes are smaller than the length and width. In addition, this shape is characterized by a soft, rounded jawline.

Do you recognize yourself in this shape? Then angular glasses or glasses with angular elements suit your face well. A good example of this is the Lolita. Also wide and larger frames such as The George will also look good on you. Round glasses and small frames are a less good choice. These make your face even rounder.

Is the length of your face greater than the width of your cheekbones? Then chances are you have an oval face. An oval face shape is further characterized by a forehead that is wider than the jawline and a chin with a rounded shape. An oval face is naturally well-balanced. As a result, almost all types of frames are suitable for an oval face. This offers you the opportunity to experiment with daring frames, but a classic round model like the Papillon will also look great on you.

With a square face, all proportions are approximately equal. Another feature of this face shape is a sharp, slightly angular jaw. The angular shapes of your face are best combined with round frames such as the Papillon or Faust. This softens the lines in your face. Angular frames emphasize this.

Is your face widest at the cheekbones and narrower towards the chin? Then you might have a triangular face. This shape resembles heart-shaped faces, but has lower cheekbones and a somewhat more pointed chin. Round glasses or a wide frame can bring balance to your face. Oval glasses or glasses with rounded corners are also a good choice.

If you have a diamond -shaped face, your face is elongated and you have a sharp chin. In addition, you have relatively wide cheekbones and a narrower forehead, making the shape look like that of a diamond. This face shape is not common and therefore makes you unique! Glasses can balance this type of face. Choose round glasses or an oversized frame.

It is possible that your face resembles more than one shape. For example, a round face with heart-shaped elements. But which shape should you go for? Choose the shape that is most dominant. See for yourself which shape you like best? See our collection of reading glasses and sunglasses.
