Triangle Face Shape: Eyewear That Balances and Elevates
What Are the Characteristics of a Triangle-Shaped Face?
If your jawline is wider than your forehead and your cheekbones follow a straight line from jaw to brow, your face likely falls into the triangle or pear-shaped category. The jaw may be square or rounded, but the overall silhouette tapers upward.
Famous faces with this shape include Lucy Hale, Kelly Osbourne, Kathy Ireland, and Keith Urban.
How Do I Balance My Face with Eyeglasses or Sunglasses?
To create visual harmony, choose frames that are as wide or slightly wider than your jawline. Top-heavy styles help draw attention upward, balancing the lower half of the face. Look for frames with detailing on the browline or upper rim to shift focus toward the eyes and forehead.
Recommended Frame Shapes
- Aviator: Adds width and softness to the upper face.
- Half-Rim: Lightweight and subtly structured—great for balance.
- Horn Rim: Bold and expressive—ideal for drawing attention upward.
- Cat Eye: Adds lift and elegance to the brow area.
- Browline: Emphasizes the upper face and balances proportions.
