Bobster Eyewear Face Fit Guide - Best Glasses for your face shape
Proper fit and personalized style are two main objectives when selecting eyewear. Face size and shape determine what styles will fit comfortably while balancing your features. To make the best selection, a complete understanding of different types of faces will make it easier to choose the style of glasses that are best for you.
Oval Face Shape
This face shape is considered to be ideal because the proportions are naturally balanced. It is the most versatile shape as most eyewear is flattering to this face. To keep the oval’s natural balance, try frames that are as wide as (or wider than) the broadest part of the face.
Try: Square shaped frames with rounded edges or eyewear with high temples.
Suggested Style: Bobster® Sport & Street ™ Convertible, Bobster® Sport & Street II™ Convertible, Bobster® Road Hog ™ Convertible , Bobster Fat Boy - Transitional (Light Adjusting) Lenses, Bobster Foamerz, Bobster Eyewear Gunner with Photochromic Lenses
Round Shaped Face
A round face is curved with both the length and width equally proportionate. For an elongated, thinner appearance try angular narrow frames to lengthen the face. Deeper colors such as black or tortoise also minimize fullness.
Try: Wide frames with angular or rectangular styles that pull attention upwards.
Suggested Styles: Bobster® Road Hog ™ Convertible, Bobster Foamerz, Bobster Eyewear Gunner with Photochromic Lenses, Bobster Invader with Photochromic (transitional) lenses, Bobster Road Master with Transitional (Light Adjusting) Photochromic Lenses
Diamond Shaped Face
Diamond-shaped faces are narrow ath the eye and jaw lines with cheekbones that are often high and dramatic. To highlight the eyes and bring out the cheekbones, try frames with distinctive brow line or rounded styles.
Try: Oval shapes or rimless eyewear that softens the contours of the face.
Suggested Styles: Bobster Foamerz, Bobster Eyewear Shield, Bobster Eyewear Raptor, Airlock from Bobster, Bobster Eyewear Stinger
Square Shaped Face
A square face has a strong jaw line and broad forehead with the width and length proportional to each other. Reduce the angles and compliment this shape with frames that slightly curved around the edges.
Try: Classic oval or cat-eye style frames
Suggested Styles: Bobster Eyewear Stinger, Airlock from Bobster, Bobster Eyewear Low Rider, Bobster Sport and Street
Oblong Shaped Faces
An oblong face is longer than it is wide with an extended cheek line. To make the face appear shorter and more balanced, pick styles that have vertical depth and don’t extend past the widest part of the face.
Try: Round or square frames with decorative temples for a wider apperance
Suggested Styles: GX Sunglasses from Bobster Eyewear, Bobster Sport and Street, Bobster® Road Hog ™ Convertible, Bobster Spektrax
Triangular Face
This shape is defined by a broad forehead and narrow mouth and chin. Frames with a thin rim and vertical lines will help balance the bottom part of the face. Avoid large frames, bold colors and square shapes.
Try: Cat-eye, angular, or rimless frame styles with very light colors work well with this shape.
