Square-Shaped Face
A square shaped face is defined by a broad forehead and squared jawline. The general rule is to wear frames that contrast with your face shape, so people with square faces usually look best in round or oval glasses. On the other hand, going with a square or rectangular frame could emphasize your angles. Aviators, like these glasses from Ferragamo, will always be a dependable choice if you want a pair of frames that fit your face.
