FIND YOUR FIT
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.
We have created the fit guide below to serve as an AHLEM expert, so you can access our personalized experience from the comfort of your home or book a Live Video Styling session with our expert opticians.
ROUND
A round face shape tends to have soft features and wide cheekbones. AHLEM suggests opting for angular designs that are wide and narrow.
DIAMOND
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.
SQUARE
A square face shape has the same measurements from the forehead to the cheekbones. AHLEM suggests silhouettes with a round shape.
OVAL
An oval face shape is balanced, narrow, and long. Those with an oval face can wear most AHLEM frames.
TRIANGLE BASE DOWN
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.
TRIANGLE BASE UP
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.
