Which spectacles suit me?

With spectacles there are shapes that flatter one person, but do not suit another person. Determine your face shape and find out which spectacles suit you best. Read more

  • man with lenses and a rectangular face shape

    Angular, square or rectangular face shapes:

    - Broad forehead  

    - Prominent cheekbones  

    - Well-defined chin  

    We recommend: A round or oval frame goes perfectly with an angular, square or rectangular face shape because it softens the strong contours. The frame width should be adapted to the width of the face. Otherwise, the spectacles can quickly appear too small or too big. If you are looking for sunglasses, then reach for pilot spectacles. The tear drop shape, as well as all other round or curved lens shapes, tends to flatter angular faces.

  • woman with lenses and a heart-shaped face shape

    Heart-shaped face shape:

    - Broad forehead

    - High cheekbones

    - Narrow chin  

    We recommend: Oval and round shapes go really well with a heart-shaped face. They are ideal because they do not emphasize the broad forehead. Rimless spectacles or spectacles with delicate frame edges guarantee a harmonious appearance. Make sure that the sides are not attached to the spectacles in the middle and tend to be thin.

  • woman with lenses and an oval face shape

    Oval face shape:

    - Balanced, soft outer contour

    - Broadest place is the level of the cheekbones

    - Gently rounded chin  

    We recommend: Generally, almost everything suits you! Choose an angular model to create more dominance in the face. Round shapes make your face look softer and make feminine faces more feminine. In contrast to other face shapes, a pair of spectacles with a dark full frame can be easily worn here. 

  • woman with lenses and a round face shape

    Round face shape:

    - Uniform, filled-out outer contour

    - Broad, full cheek area

    - Rather short in proportion to its width  

    We recommend: Discreet, angular frames make round faces appear narrower and seem to elongate them. Rimless frames that skilfully emphasise the eye area also look great. Semi rimless spectacles that become narrower towards the bottom create a harmonious image. On the other hand, you should avoid circular lenses and thick frames.
