Question 1

What face shape do thin glasses suit?

Accepted Answer

Thin frame glasses can go with any face because they’re adaptable to any frame shape. Conventional style recommends choosing frames that complement your face shape.
For example, a classic winning combination is pairing round or oval glasses with a square face because of the nice contrasts created. Square glasses on a round face also achieves this effect. Other face shapes go well with complementary shapes, like aviator glasses on a heart-shaped face.

That said, plenty of iconic looks have been created by breaking the “rules.” The key is to choose glasses that make you feel confident and suit your personality.
