THE FACE SHAPE GUIDE
The triangle face shape.
A wider jaw with a narrower upper face. Here’s how to recognize it — and a few ideas to make it your own.
Explore your proportionsWHAT TO LOOK FOR
Three helpful clues.
- The lower jaw appears wider than the forehead.
- The upper face looks more tapered.
- Jaw corners may be softly rounded or defined.
These are descriptive patterns, not strict rules. Your face can share features with another shape.
ILLUSTRATION ONLY
Proportions, in perspective.
Our outline is an illustration, not a measured face. Compare your features in a mirror or use the private photo tool.
HAIRSTYLES
Work with your texture and taste.
Try some volume or texture near the temples and crown. Soft layers can create balance while keeping the jaw visible.
Your hair density, natural texture and time for styling matter as much as the outline of your face. Bring an example you like to your stylist.
GLASSES & EYEWEAR
A good fit comes first.
Try browline or gently upswept frames to emphasize the upper face. Use these as starting points, not restrictions.
Look straight ahead when trying frames. They should sit evenly, stay comfortable at the nose and temples, and suit your vision needs.
