FACE FIT GUIDE

oval face

OVAL FACE
This face shape is considered to be ideal because the proportions are balanced. It is the most versatile shape as most eyewear is flattering on 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 Bobster Style: Sport and Street 1, Solstice 1, Piston, Foamerz 2, Gunner

round face

ROUND 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 Bobster Style: Road Hog 1 or 2, Foamerz 2, Gunner, Invader, Roadmaster, Hooligan

diamond face

DIAMOND FACE
Diamond-shaped faces are narrow at 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 Bobster Style: Foamerz 1, Shield 2, Raptor 1, Airlock 2, Stinger, Igniter

square face

SQUARE 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 are slightly curved around the edges.

Try: Classic oval or cat-eye style frames.
Suggested Bobster Style: Stinger, Airlock 1, Low Rider, Sport and Street 2, Gradient

oblong face

OBLONG FACE
An oblong face is longer than it is wide with an extended cheek line. To make the face appear shorter and more balanced, aim for styles that have vertical depth and that do not extend past the widest part of the face. Try to minimize the length of the face by finding a glass that covers as much of the center of the face as possible.

Try: Round or square frames with decorative temples for a wider appearance.
Suggested Bobster Style: GX, Sport and Street 1, Vixen, Gunner, Drifter, Foamerz

triangle face

TRIANGLE 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.
Suggested Bobster Style: GXR, Low Rider 1, Raptor 2, Shield 1, Blackjack 2, Hooligan
