The Goal: Balance, Not Match
The classic advice is to "match" sunglasses to face shape, but the actual principle is balance — using the frame to add the proportional element your face is missing. Angular face? Soften with round. Round face? Sharpen with angular. Long face? Add width. Wide face? Add height.
The Six OHO's Silhouettes Mapped to Face Shapes
HORIZON (Oversized Cat-Eye) — Best for round and oval face shapes. The upward sweep adds vertical lift and angularity that balances softer face geometry. Particularly flattering on heart-shaped faces.
CURRENT (Modern Square) — Best for oval and oblong face shapes. The clean horizontal lines add visual width and structure. Avoid if you have a very square face — too much repetition.
JESSIE (Vintage Aviator) — Best for square and rectangular face shapes. The teardrop profile softens hard angles and adds curve where the face has straight lines. Universally flattering — aviators are the most face-shape-agnostic style.
CHIC (Sleek Polished) — Best for round and oval face shapes that want a polished, dressed-up presence. The refined profile adds elegance without overwhelming.
PARADISE (Oversized Round) — Best for square, rectangular, and heart-shaped faces. Large round frames soften angular jaw lines and add curve to balance sharp cheekbones.
OASIS (Retro Round) — Best for oval, square, and rectangular faces. Smaller round than PARADISE — works for daily wear without making the statement that oversized round frames create.
Practical Sizing Tips
Beyond shape: frame width should approximately match face width at the temples. The brow line of the frame should sit at or slightly below your natural brow line. Lens height should not extend below the cheekbones (where smiling causes the frame to lift off the nose).
