I once knew a fashion designer who passionately discussed the challenges of researching and designing men’s fashion. They mentioned how the creative possibilities seemed more expansive in women’s fashion, while men’s fashion often felt more constricted. Interestingly, feminine styles are often associated with vibrant colors and unique embellishments, while masculine styles tend to embrace minimal lines and subtle color palettes. This particular dynamic presents a thought-provoking question regarding men’s eyeglasses. Should one stick to the conventional black rim and standard square-shaped lenses, or is there an opportunity to inject a touch of personality without crossing into the realm of a children’s TV show?

Round faces
You may not have considered that different styles of glasses are designed to look a certain way for a reason (see this selection of men’s glasses for examples). For rounded faces, angular glasses are designed to help add some much-needed definition. How do you know if you have a rounded face? The answers are that your forehead and smooth cheeks will be similar in shape and size. This can tend to drown out any jawbone lines. Rectangular glasses can help to add in some detail.
Oval faces are often confused with rounded ones because they are closely related in proportion. However, beware of confusing a round face for an oval face that is better characterized by narrow features. In this case, the height of the frames comes into play more than anything. Thin frames will have little impact, while larger frames will look equally out of proportion. Find the size that suits you, and decide your frame type.
Rectangular faces and strong lines
Rectangular faces come complete with natural lines – see celebrity face shape examples. Mixed with strong cheekbones and a defined nose, a rectangular face can risk tangling too many focal points where the wearer chooses angular glasses. Softening an already characterful visage with thinner or lightweight frames is key in this case. Square or rectangular glasses should also probably be avoided for best results. Choose glasses with curved angles rather than harsh right angles.
Heart-shaped faces can often be confused with rectangular faces. The difference is that heart-shaped faces are defined by a jawline that tapers to a point. This means that thin frames increase this ‘fading’ effect, meaning heart-shaped faces should consider thicker frames.
