Sunglasses for Square Faces: Best Frames, From $30

What a square face looks like

A square face has a strong jaw and a forehead of similar width. Frames with soft curves balance the angles.

Shapes that soften

Slim ovals and rounder frames contrast with a strong jaw. See the slim oval frames. Rimless pairs are light and keep the focus on the face, see the rimless range.

Oversized rounded frames

Large rounded lenses can look elegant on a square face. See the oversized shapes.

What to be careful with

Common questions

Can square faces wear square frames? Yes, it is a matter of taste. Which is the most flattering? Slim ovals and rounded shapes are the usual suggestions. Where do I shop? On the shop page.

What to avoid

Very boxy frames repeat the angles of the jaw, so they can look severe. Heavy top bars also add weight to the forehead. If you love a square frame, choose one with softened corners.

Fit test at home

Check that the frame is not narrower than your cheekbones, that the arms sit level with your ears, and that the lens does not press on your cheeks when you smile. Try the pair with your hair the way you usually wear it.

Mixing shapes

A round pair and an oval pair are an easy way to try the softer look. Any two pairs are $52 with free shipping, and you can choose different shapes in the same order.
