Glasses for Square Faces
A square face has a forehead, cheekbones, and jaw of roughly equal width, finished with a strong, angular jawline — the feature this shape is famous for. Stylists usually soften the angles with waves, curves, and rounded frames, or lean into them for a striking, editorial look.

Round frames
The classic prescription: curves against angles.
Oval frames
Softens without overcorrecting.
Rimless styles
Removes competing lines from a naturally strong face.
Thin metal frames
Delicate materials balance a bold bone structure.
What to check before you buy
- Width: frames should end roughly where your temples do — not wider, not narrower.
- Eyes: pupils sit at or slightly above the lens centre line.
- Brows: the top rim traces just under the brow, not over it.
