How to Choose the Perfect Glasses for Your Face Shape: A Portland Style Guide

🕶️ Stylish. Smart. Authentically You. Whether you’re strolling through the Pearl District or hitting happy hour on Hawthorne, your eyewear is more than a prescription — it’s a statement.

At Eyes on Broadway, we have curated a quick and stylish guide for finding the perfect glasses frames for your face shape. Portlanders love individuality, and your eyewear should reflect exactly that—unique, intentional, and effortlessly cool.

đź‘“ Face Shape Meets Frame Style: Your Ultimate Matchmaking Guide

🔸 Oval Face Shape: You can go for square, bold, or geometric frames to add angles and structure to your face. You can wear almost anything — so go bold!

🔸 Round Face Shape: Counterbalance soft curves with angular frames, like squares, rectangles, or geometric styles. It’s structure, not softness.

🔸 Square Face Shape: To soften those strong jawlines, try round or oval frames. It’s all about balance.

🔸 Heart-Shaped Face: It’s balance with bottom-heavy, round, or cat-eye frames that draw attention downward.

🔸 Diamond Face Shape: The high cheekbones should be highlighted with oval or rimless frames. Keep it light and airy.

✨ Pro Tip: Use your natural features as a starting point — but let your personal style lead the way.

🎨 Style Meets Personality: Find Your Eyewear Vibe

Your frames should tell your story. Here’s how Portlanders are doing it:

  • Boho Creatives âžť Acetate, colorful, or vintage round lenses.

  • Minimalist Professionals âžť Clean lines, neutral tones, translucent.

  • Bold Trailblazers âžť Chunky, retro, geometric shapes that pop.

At Eyes on Broadway, we assist you in locating your signature frame – something that feels uniquely yours.
