  6 / 21 Round face: D-frame acetate optical glasses by Céline (S$365)

  If you have a round face:

  Avoid all circular frames at all cost, as they’ll simply make your face appear even rounder. Go for something that elongates your face shape and plays down your full cheeks. Rectangular or square frames will help introduce sharper and more distinct lines, giving dimension and structure to your features.

You can rock almost any type of glasses, but we suggest going for oblong eye-wear. The geometric shape will highlight your best features. Steer clear of narrow frames which will add length to your face shape.

  14 / 21 Heart-shaped face: Round-frame metal and faux pearl optical glasses by Gucci (US$427 (S$585))

  If you have a heart-shaped face:

  With a wider forehead, high cheekbones and a tapered narrow chin, bottom-heavy frames are the way to go as they help to add width to your chin and balance it out. You can also go for spectacles with smoother edges (like oval-shaped frames) to counter your sharp angles. Consider cat-eye shapes — they help to sweep up your face and draw attention to your eyes — or the aviators, which mimic the tapering of your features.
