When it comes to choosing new glasses, finding the perfect pair isn’t just about clear vision—it’s about comfort, confidence, and showing off your personality. At iVision Opticians, with locations across Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, we go beyond the basics to help you select glasses that truly suit you.
Whether you’re after designer frames or practical everyday specs, our experienced team is here to match your look to your lifestyle
Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing Glasses
Your face shape plays a big role in how different frames will look and feel. At our branches in Castleford, Barnsley, Morley, Otley, Shirebrook, and Wombwell, our trained opticians help customers find frames that enhance their features and express their style.
Here’s how different frame styles can complement your face shape:
Round Face
Features: Soft curves, similar width and height, rounded jawline
Frame Style Tips:
- Choose angular or geometric frames to add definition
- Try rectangular, square, or cat-eye styles
- Avoid overly round frames—they can make your face appear fuller
Square Face
Features: Broad forehead, strong jaw, square chin
Frame Style Tips:
- Look for round or oval frames to soften angles
- Try thin or rimless styles for a more balanced look
- Avoid boxy shapes that exaggerate squareness
Oval Face
Features: Balanced proportions, slightly curved chin and forehead
Frame Style Tips:
- Lucky you—most styles will work well!
- Experiment with bold shapes, colours, and sizes
- Avoid frames that are too large for your face
Heart-Shaped Face
Features: Wider forehead, narrow chin
Frame Style Tips:
- Try bottom-heavy frames to balance the top of the face
- Consider light-coloured or rimless designs
- Avoid top-heavy styles that draw attention upward
Diamond Face
Features: Narrow forehead and jaw, wide cheekbones
- Frame Style Tips:
Oval and rimless frames can highlight your cheekbones - Cat-eye and upswept styles work particularly well
- Avoid narrow or boxy frames that emphasise width
Style & Personality Matter Too
While face shape is a good starting point, your glasses should also reflect your lifestyle and personal taste. At iVision Opticians, we stock a wide range of frames—from timeless to trendy, professional to playful—including trusted brands like Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Swarovski.
Need something bold for weekends but subtle for work? We’ll help you find a pair (or two) that fits the bill.
