The Perfect Sunglasses and Glasses Frames For A Square Face Shape

If you have had trouble finding a frame that will fit your square face shape in the past then worry no more. We are here to help you find the Neostyle to your Elvis, the Persol to your Steve McQueen or the Cat Eye to your Susan Sarandon.

The rule to follow when picking a pair of sunglasses or optical frames for square face shapes is to pick a style that will provide a contrast to the natural lines of your face. This approach will help to accentuate your natural look and provide additional symmetry to your look. By picking a round or oval frame you will avoid making your defined features looking too square or your face too wide.

So what frames should you choose for your square face shape?

Vintage Round frames are one of the most iconic looks out there and with your square face shape you will actually manage to pull off these notoriously tricky frames with aplomb. Loved by John Lennon and Prince this classic look is an absolute must have for your next pair of frames if you don’t already own a pair.

Vintage Clubmaster or Browline frames as they are sometimes called are another go-to style for a square face shape. The frames beloved by Don Draper in MadMen will keep you looking debonair and ready for business at any hour.

Vintage Oval frames will deliver a perfect balance to your angular features. As the 80s legend Mr Miyagi used to say “life is all about balance”. Deliver a knock-out blow in a pair of oval frames.

With your square face shape you can afford to be adventurous and go for some unique and fun vintage frames but keep in mind to avoid large square or rectangular frames unless you are picking a bold standout colour for your skin tone.
