Everyone has their own preferences and personal aesthetic. When choosing new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\">glasses<\/a>\u2014no matter what your face shape may be\u2014the most important thing is finding a pair that makes you feel comfortable and confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All that is to say, there\u2019s no \u201cbest\u201d type of glasses for square faces. However, if you\u2019re having trouble deciding on a pair of eyeglasses, this guide will help you identify the features of a square face and understand which frame styles can complement those features well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Have a Square Face Shape?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure what face shape you have? No problem\u2014just take a look in a mirror or snap a quick selfie looking straight at your camera. In the mirror or your photo, see if you spot some of these traits, which are commonly associated with a square face shape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A flat, squared chin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A broad forehead with a wide hairline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A strong horizontal jawline with sharp angles&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Equal width of the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flat cheekbones that are in line with the jaw (as opposed to cheekbones that are more curved or start higher on the face and angle down)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Square faces are similar to round faces, but the key difference lies in the angular jawline\u2014people with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/best-glasses-for-round-faces\">round faces<\/a> tend to have softer, rounder features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that everyone\u2019s face is unique, and you might not see all of the characteristics listed above in someone with a square face. In fact, most people find their faces to have traits from more than one shape. Just consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/glasses-for-different-face-shapes\">different face shapes<\/a> out there, and use your best judgment on which one seems the most similar to yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Glasses Shapes for a Square Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember\u2014don\u2019t sweat it! You can go right ahead and fall in love with any glasses frames you want. But if you want to learn how certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/glasses-styles-and-shapes\">styles of glasses<\/a> can complement the features of a square-shaped face, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When people choose glasses based on their face shape, they are typically looking for frames that will either highlight (draw attention to) or contrast (balance out) their most prominent facial features. Check out some considerations below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Round Glasses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know that opposites attract, and round is the clear-cut opposite of square. The curves of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses?shapes=Round\">round glasses<\/a> beautifully contrast the strong, angular lines of square faces, balancing out their bold features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><!-- .entry-content (split for inline block) -->\n\n<div class=\"wp-blocks__products wp-blocks__products-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/percey-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"Percey\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Percey<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Rye Tortoise<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/percey\/rye-tortoise\" target=\"_blank\">Shop Percey<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/simon-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"Simon\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Simon<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Polished Gold<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/simon\/polished-gold\" target=\"_blank\">Shop Simon<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/wright-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"Wright\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Wright<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tortoise<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/wright\/tide-pool-tortoise\" target=\"_blank\">Shop Wright<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content\"><!-- (reopen for inline block) -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oval Glasses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like round glasses, oval glasses are going to have those curves you\u2019re looking for if you want to balance out the well-defined lines of your square face shape.
