The best glasses for square faces

Square faces have strong, defined angles. Curved frames soften the jaw and brow, and a clean square or rectangle can match your structure with confidence.

What makes a face square

A square face has a broad forehead, a strong jawline and an even width from top to bottom. You have two good directions. Go for contrast with round, oval and aviator shapes that soften your angles, or go for confidence with a square or rectangle that repeats your structure on purpose.

What to watch for

Whichever way you go, keep the frame in proportion. A frame narrower than your cheekbones can make a strong jaw look heavier.
