Personal taste is the first consideration in choosing a new frame, but selecting a silhouette that flatters your features while offering optimal comfort is equally important.
While every face is unique, most fall into six general shape categories: oval, round, square, base-up and base-down triangle, and diamond.

A round face shape tends to have soft features and wide cheekbones. AHLEM suggests opting for angular designs that are wide and narrow.
A diamond face shape is wider at the center than the upper and lower portions of the face. AHLEM suggests understated metal frames in light to medium weight and color.
A square face shape has the same measurements from the forehead to the cheekbones. AHLEM suggests silhouettes with a round shape.
An oval face shape is balanced, narrow, and long. Those with an oval face can wear most AHLEM frames.
A base down triangle face measurement is wider at the jawline than at the forehead. AHLEM suggests wearing frames in bold colors or with a distinctive brow line.
A base up triangle face resembles a heart shape and is wider at the forehead with a narrow chin. AHLEM suggests wider styles with an understated look and soft shape.
