A Guide To Help You Pick The Perfect Styles…

Round Face Shape: Ideal vintage eyewear for round faces often feature wide, rectangular frames for added angularity or thick browlines that complement your rounded cheeks.

Your GV Stylist’s Recommendation: retro rectangle sunglasses, retro square sunglasses, geometric designs, vintage cat eye sunglasses, or browline glasses.

Oval Face Shape: Lucky you! Many eyewear shapes will suit you. The key tip here is to opt for wider frames to balance out the length of your face. You can experiment with curvier frames if your chin and jawline are more defined, or go for angular frames to accentuate the rounded features of your face. If you have strong cheekbones, consider glasses with pronounced or upswept corners.

Your GV Stylist’s Recommendation: Lucky you! Virtually any frame shape and style will work, just ensure they as wide as the widest part of your face, typically around the eyes or cheeks.

Heart Face Shape: Heart-shaped faces have a wider top than bottom, so go for frames that are slightly wider than your forehead to create balance. Rounded frames can offset the “pointiness” of the heart-shaped face’s lower half, even if the upper corners of your glasses are sharp.

Your GV Stylist’s Recommendation: oval sunglasses, round sunglasses, aviator glasses, or semi rimless sunglasses.

Square Face Shape: Eyewear with curves balance the clean, straight lines of square faces. Thin or semi-rimless frames are flattering, and a wider frame that sits higher on your nose complements strong jawlines.

Your GV Stylist’s Recommendation: round sunglasses, oval sunglasses, wire designs, or semi rimless sunglasses.

Triangle Face Shape: Wide frames can add dimension to the narrow upper part of a triangle face. Playful details on the browline, such as cat-eye swoops or decorative hinges, complement this face shape.

Your GV Stylist’s Recommendation: retro rectangle sunglasses, browline glasses, or vintage style cat eye glasses.

Diamond Face Shape: Lighter bottoms and slightly thicker browlines look stunning on diamond face shapes. Rounded frames can complement the angles of a diamond face. 

Your GV Stylist’s Recommendation: browline glasses, vintage cat eye sunglasses, round sunglasses, retro oval sunglasses, or semi rimless sunglasses. Focus on achieving balance.
