Square Face

A square face is characterized by a strong jaw line, a broad forehead, and a wide chin and cheekbones.

Frames should make the face look longer.

  • Gently curved narrow styles will minimize squareness and lengthen the face.
  • The frames should be wider than the widest part of the face.
  • Frames should be more horizontal than vertical.
  • Select frames with weight on top.
  • Try oval shapes with temples in the centre
  • Colour or skiving (ornamental engraving) on the frames’ outer corners will lengthen the face; so will decorative temples hinged above eye level.
