Gentlemen, choosing a pair of glasses is not just about the geometric shape of your face. A highly defined square jaw, a thick beard, or even baldness are exclusively masculine elements that alter the balance of your features. Discover our guide to master proportions and find the frame that will assert your style.
4. Round or oval faces: Universal rules
If you have a round face, aim to structure and elongate your features, the opposite of the square jaw. Even if you are looking for sunglasses, remember that opting for glasses with optimal protection remains essential to preserve your visual health.
Finally, if you are lucky enough to have an oval face, your proportions are naturally balanced: almost all frame shapes will look great on you!

Frequently Asked Questions
What glasses to choose when you have a shaved head or baldness? +
Without hair to frame the top of the face, glasses become your main architectural accessory. Opt for thick, structured frames with character (in tortoiseshell or black acetate) to restore definition to your features. Avoid rimless (invisible) frames that accentuate the feeling of emptiness.
What frame shape for a square jaw? +
To soften a very angular and pronounced jaw, the golden rule is contrast. Favor round, oval, or panto-shaped glasses. Aviator-style frames are also excellent for breaking the strictness of a square face.
