Square frames work best when they cover 60-70% of face length. Using lightweight materials like flexible acetate or slim titanium helps maintain comfort without adding bulk. Subtle colors, such as neutral or muted tones, keep the focus on facial proportions, while bold shades create contrast when kept simple.
Frame Shapes That Balance Oblong Faces
Oblong faces thrive with frames that add width and break up length. These styles create horizontal emphasis like a well-placed belt completes an outfit, bringing proportional harmony to longer face shapes.
Square
Chunky frames act like visual speed bumps - they add width at the temples to keep your face from looking like it's in landscape mode.
Browline
The bold top bar works like a headline banner - it stops the eye mid-face like a newspaper fold, preventing features from appearing stretched out.
Aviator
The double bridge creates a focal point like a belt notch on jeans - it visually "cinches" face length while the teardrop shape adds soft curves.
Geometric
Angular shapes function like architectural crossbeams - they add structured width where your face needs it most, like steel supports in a skyscraper.
Round
Circular frames work like a coffee stain on lined paper - they soften vertical emphasis and create welcoming curves that shorten face length.

Frame Size Guide
Our frames are categorized based on the width of the frame front. To help you choose the right size for your comfort and style, please find the table below, which shows how we classify frame sizes based on the front width of the frame:
Frame Size
Front Width Range
Narrow
Below 130 mm
Medium
130 - 140 mm
Wide
Above 140 mm
Using this classification, along with the following methods, you can easily determine which frame size best suits your preferences and facial structure.
1. Know Your Current Frame Size
If you currently wear glasses, check the inner arm or bridge of your frames for numbers like "52-18-140". Here's what it means:
Lens Width (52): Indicates the width of each lens.
Bridge Size (18): Refers to the distance between the lenses.
Temple Length (140): Measures the length of the temple arm.
2. Measure Frame Width from Front Screw to Screw
To measure the frame width of your existing eyeglasses, locate the screws on the front of the frame near the hinges where the temples connect. Then, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the distance horizontally between these screws. This measurement represents the width of your frames. Compare this width to our frame categories: narrow (below 130 mm), medium (130 - 140 mm), and wide (above 140 mm). Once you know your frame width, you can easily use our filter section to browse eyeglasses that match your preferred width category.

All frame measurements can be found in the details tab on our product pages.
3. Using Debit/Credit Card
Did you know you could find out your frame size with your debit/credit cards too?
Interestingly, the standard width of the card can be compared to a medium (M) sized frame. Let’s see how. Place one edge of the card at the center of your nose & if:
The card width extends the tip of the eye; a small frame is what you need.
The other end of the card ends at the tip of your eye; a medium sized frame would fit you right.
If the edge of the card ends before your eye’s tip, you’ll need a (L) large-sized frame.
