Triangle

Which glasses suit a triangle face?

A triangle face is wider at the jaw than at the forehead. The frame's job is to give the upper face presence and rebalance the whole.

How to recognise this face

  • The jaw is the widest part.
  • The forehead is narrow compared with the lower face.
  • The cheekbones follow the jawline.
  • The chin is wide, sometimes square.

Goal: Widen and assert the upper face to offset a wider jaw.

Frequently asked

Are round frames a bad idea?
They're not forbidden, but they don't add width on top. Choose them large and with a defined upper rim.
Should the frame be thick?
Not necessarily: what matters is contrast at the top of the frame, not overall thickness.
