Glasses guide
Explore how frame shape, width, lens depth, and visual weight can complement your proportions and express your style.
Round faces often have soft contours and similar face width and length. Look for frames that add clean structure around the eyes while keeping that natural softness visible.
What to look for
Use defined lines, balanced width, and a clear upper structure to create a more polished frame around the eyes.

Frame Selection Principles
Before choosing a frame, understand the five visual factors that affect balance.
01
Angles, curves, and corners can add definition, soften stronger lines, or echo your natural structure.
02
Frames that are too narrow can make the face look wider. Frames that are too wide can overpower softer features.
03
Taller lenses can visually shorten longer faces, while shallower lenses often feel lighter and more refined.
04
Bridge width and placement affect comfort, stability, and where the frame sits around the eyes.
05
Thicker or darker frames add presence. Lighter rims feel softer, quieter, and less dominant.
How Recommendations Work
We combine facial proportions, fit requirements, and visual style before suggesting a frame direction.
Frame Fit Study
A frame should do more than look good from the front. Width, bridge placement, lens depth, and temple alignment all shape the final fit.
The outer edges stay close to the widest part of the face, while the eyes remain naturally centered within the lenses.
The bridge sits securely without pinching or sliding, keeping the frame at a natural height around the eyes.
Moderate lens depth adds structure without visually shortening or overwhelming the face.
The temples extend naturally without flaring outward, while the rim weight adds definition without dominating the features.
