Choosing reading glasses isn’t only about finding the right strength — style and comfort matter just as much. The right frame feels natural, complements your features, and becomes part of your everyday look without effort. Think of these as friendly guidelines designed to help you find a comfortable, flattering match.

Your face shape can be a helpful guide when choosing frames that feel balanced and harmonious. It’s not about correcting anything — simply about finding shapes that sit comfortably on your features. And of course, there’s no right or wrong. What feels good to you is always the best choice.

A quick way to understand your face shape is to look at the overall outline:

• Round faces have soft curves and fuller cheeks.
  
• Square faces have a strong jawline and a broad forehead.
  
• Oval faces have balanced proportions that suit many styles.
  
• Heart-shaped faces have a wider forehead and a narrower chin.
  
• Diamond faces are widest at the cheekbones, narrowing toward the forehead and chin.
  

Most people don’t fit perfectly into one category — these shapes are simply starting points.

With this in mind, some frame styles naturally complement certain shapes:

• Round faces often work beautifully with angular frames like rectangular, square, or geometric shapes that add gentle definition.
  
• Square faces tend to suit softened shapes, such as rounded or oval frames that ease sharper lines.
  
• Oval faces can explore almost any style — a versatile canvas for expression.
  
• Heart-shaped faces often find harmony in rounded or bottom-heavy frames that balance a narrower chin.
  
• Diamond faces pair well with oval or cat-eye frames that highlight the cheekbones.
  

If you want a quick, modern way to see what suits you, the Luxreaders Online Try-On is ideal. You can try on multiple frames from your sofa — no app needed. It instantly shows which shapes complement your face and helps you compare styles effortlessly.

For even more guidance, the Luxreaders Style Guide offers personalised suggestions based on your preferences, face shape, and style. It’s a simple, intuitive tool that helps you discover frames that fit naturally into your everyday life.

Your personal style also plays a big role. Some people prefer minimalist designs, others love expressive shapes. You might lean toward classic silhouettes, lightweight models, or modern angles. Choosing what feels authentic to you is always the best direction.

Comfort is equally important. Lightweight materials like TR90 and acetate help reduce pressure on the nose and ears during long days. Flexible hinges improve fit and stability, while the right frame width ensures a natural feel around your temples. A well-fitting nose bridge prevents slipping and avoids pressure marks — small details that make a noticeable difference in daily wear.

Choosing frames is a personal decision — part comfort, part expression, and part lifestyle. A pair that feels right becomes an everyday companion: for reading, working, travelling, or relaxing at home. Many people find clarity by exploring a few shapes online, trying them on virtually, and trusting the style that makes them feel most like themselves. If the frames feel good the moment you put them on, they’re likely the perfect match.
