What are the Best Glasses for a Square Face?

It can be tough shopping for glasses for a square face. However, the best glasses for square faces are those with frames that smooth out the strong right angles of your face and make the features of your face stand out. 

Round frames are great for emphasizing your already bold features and adding contrast to the angles of your face. Many classic styles of glasses for square faces are round and work great with strong eyebrows and square jaws. The glasses shape for a square face should be circular and smooth.

Browline Frames

Browline frames are indeed the classic 40s press look and are regarded as one of the best glasses shapes for a square face. Characters such as Atticus Finch in the 1962 film adaptation To Kill a Mockingbird wore this style. Browline frames project a scholarly and empathetic look for people who have square faces. These are a nice choice if you wish to project thoughtfulness and considerate nature.

Oval Frames

Oval frames do not have corners and are a popular women’s style and men’s style. These large frames are ideal for making eyes look very expressive. Moreover, they accentuate eyebrows for a distinguished look. Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Oprah, and Carrie Fisher have all been seen in distinct oval frames.

Round Frames

Round frames are a classic scholarly look, lending an air of intelligence and scholarship, as well as a pre-war charm. These are great frames for both men and women if you want to emphasize your cheekbones and forehead.  Like oval frames, they can make eyes look even more beautiful on both men and women.
