Which Glasses Shape and Colour Suits Me?

Whether round, square, or heart-shaped: Although every face is unique, some glasses shapes complement individual facial features particularly well.

Glasses are also an expression of personality, so besides basic rules regarding face shapes, your personal style and the frame colour play important roles in your choice.

If you’re looking to change your look or buying glasses online for the first time, our guide provides valuable tips and information about glasses shapes – and how to style them to suit your type.

The Round Glasses

Following current trends, retro models are in high demand, especially round glasses, which have made a significant fashion comeback.

If you consider yourself an individualist or free spirit, this shape might resonate with you, as it perfectly complements a philosophical or intellectual look.

Some of the hottest trends include metallic models in gold, silver, or Havana patterns from brands like Ray-Ban, Tom Ford, and Gucci.

The Cat-Eye Glasses

Feminine and alluring, cat-eye glasses (also known as butterfly shape) add a touch of glamour to any look. It’s no wonder icons like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn were fans. Today, brands like Ray-Ban, Prada, Gucci, and Tom Ford continue to embrace this vintage charm with cat-eye frames in gold, silver, transparent, or Havana patterns.

The Aviator

Developed in the 1930s, aviators were originally designed for military pilots. The wider top shape provided protection from the sun at all angles, while the thin temples did not obstruct the field of vision.

Aviators have remained a fashion staple, popular in sunglasses by Ray-Ban and Porsche Design, and as optical glasses by designers such as Gucci, Tom Ford and Michael Kors.

Typically available in gold, silver or black, aviators are the perfect complement to a sporty look or a stylish contrast to summer dresses.

The Rectangular Glasses

Have you noticed how rectangular glasses often give the wearer an intelligent and competent look? Models from the Mister Spex Collection, Smart Collection, or Ultralight Classics are ideal for classic business looks.

Best colours for rectangular glasses include black, blue, or the classic Havana pattern. In softer tones like rose gold, they add an interesting twist to feminine outfits. Sporty types can opt for bold colours like red, green, or blue to add vibrancy to their look.

The Square Glasses

Square frames in a 70s style are among the most extravagant trends. To make the most of these statement pieces, pair them with equally bold outfits. Square glasses can enhance both men’s and women’s self-assured looks. Highlight your confident style with vibrant colours or denim. Silver, black, or transparent models from our Aspect by Mister Spex or Michalsky for Mister Spex collections are especially striking.

The Narrow Glasses

Bigger isn’t always better. Slim glasses, which just cover the eyes, are as trendy as XXL models. Pair these retro-futuristic frames with a laid-back outfit – think blouson, jeans, and trainers for a youthful look.

Browline-lasit

As the name suggests, browline glasses feature a distinctive upper frame, a retro classic from the 1950s making a fashionable comeback. Browline glasses are highly versatile. Havana or black frames pair well with vintage pieces like flared trousers or floral dresses, while metallic versions in silver or gold work great for business chic.

Brands like Ray-Ban, CO CO, and CO Optical offer browline glasses, also available in the Mister Spex Collection.
