Choosing the right pair of glasses for men isn’t always easy. This process gets overwhelming when faced with countless stylish options. The main reason is that every frame looks great on the display, but the real question is, will they complement your face?

Being men, we don’t give much attention to detail. We often pick what looks good at first glance. But when it comes to glasses, you must buy a frame suitable for your face to elevate your style and boost your confidence. If you don’t know what I’m talking about or what the different glasses frames for men are, this blog is for you. Read further to unlock the best frame styles for your face shape. 

Find the Perfect Frames for Your Face Shape

If you are new to the glasses game, you must be thinking, do glasses look attractive on men? To break the news to you, glasses are actually attractive accessories, most women find them damn sexy on men. But, it’s only going to be possible when you buy glasses that suit your face according to your particular style.

If you’re looking for checkpoints to help you choose the best pair of glasses, start with your face shape. It’ll help you decide which style to buy and which to drop.

There are many eyeglass frame options available for different face shapes. I’ll help you find the best glasses for men so that they can elevate your style without overshadowing your natural charm. 

 

Glasses For Round Face Shapes

A round face usually has the same width and height, with a curved chin and full cheekbones. To slim it down and give it a structured edge, angular frames will do a perfect job. There are many designs which provide extra edges and angles for round-face shapes.

Consider rectangle glasses to make your face appear thin and long. If you want to pep up your outfit and try out something different, then you can try out butterfly glasses. The wider outer edges help to balance out the soft facial features. However, I would suggest making sure that the lenses are squared off to add an angular aspect to your facial features.

Soften the Angles of the Square Face with Style

The square face shape in men is the sexiest of them all. Your face also has the same height and width, featuring angles and a chiselled jawline.

To look more gentle and friendly, embrace the softness of round glasses. Pilot frames also offer a nice fix for your angular facial features. In fact, it is the best shape in glasses for this face shape.

Soften the Angles of the Square Face with Style

Rectangular glasses with narrow lenses will elongate your face. You can also choose square frames, but make sure they are large and have even proportions.

Frame Guide for Oval Faces

The oval face is the luckiest as it mixes well with every frame style. You just need to avoid the extremes! Whether angular or curvier, try any style you want. But don’t forget to give oversized glasses a shot, as they are made for your perfect symmetry.

Frames with too square or curved edges will not be the best choice for your balanced facial proportion. Thick-rimmed glasses can be a great option for bringing attention to your face. But while counting on thick-rimmed glasses, make sure that they don’t overpower your face. If you’re looking for a pair that’s both casual and formal, you can give browline glasses a try.

Top Frames for Heart-Shaped Faces

Your wide cheekbones and narrow chin lend you a pleasing profile. But you need to consider the unique symmetry of your face while choosing the right frame.

Since the narrow chin is beautifully countered by a wide forehead, try to avoid frames with too much weight on the top part of your face. You can try out the curved or round glasses to tone down the pointed chin.

Semi-rimmed glasses will also work, as they are not as prominent as full-rim frames and will not add any extra element to the top half of your face.

Get a Proportional Fit for Oblong Faces

To give your oblong face a sense of balance, seek out frame styles that add width to the symmetry. Round or square glasses will work here as long as you stick to large silhouettes.

Avoid narrow frames as they will make your face look weirdly long. Frames with mixed colours and textures will offset the length of your face and give it a bold edge. Oval and square glasses for an oblong face will also look nice against your straight cheek line.

Add Definition and Style for Narrow Faces

You want glasses that won’t weigh your face down but add depth and balance to your structure. Rectangle glasses have less height on the lenses and thus make for the perfect glasses for a narrow face. They give you a low-key profile and a smart look.

Go for thinner rims, so you don’t overwhelm your narrow face. If you want to try out a bold silhouette, give rimless or transparent glasses a shot.
