Why choosing the right glasses is essential?

The choice of glasses is never trivial: it can enhance features, express personality, and even improve self-esteem. Those with a square face must carefully consider the shape of the frame to soften pronounced features and achieve a harmonious effect. In this article, we will discover together what the best models are, with practical advice and suggestions on ideal frames available at optigroup.tech.

How to recognize a square face

Main characteristics

A square face is distinguished by strong and angular features. The main traits include:

  • Wide and broad forehead
  • Pronounced and square jawline
  • Straight cheeks that are not particularly rounded

Quick test to identify the face shape

A simple way to find out if you have a square face is to stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back, and observe:

  • If the outline of your face resembles a square or rectangle, you likely have a square shape.
  • You can also measure the width of your forehead, cheeks, and jawline: if they are very similar, the confirmation is almost certain.

Basic principles in choosing glasses for square faces

Harmonizing angular lines

Those with a square face should aim for frames that soften the natural angles.

Recommended materials and colors

The best materials are lightweight and flexible, such as thin metal or lightweight acetate. Neutral, pastel, or even gradient colors add softness to the face and are perfect for those seeking an elegant and modern style.
