- Angular frames will complement a round face. This would include rectangles, squares and unusual angles.
- Try high temples and frames that are wider than they are deep.
- Metal frames with adjustable nose pads will keep lenses from resting on your cheeks.
- The frame should be slightly wider than the face.
