Learn Your Face Shape
Have you ever wondered why some eyeglasses or sunglasses one way on your friend, but not quite the same on you? The reality is that we all have a unique face shape, and certain frame styles lend themselves better to certain shapes than others.
To figure out which D&G frames will look the best on you, start by pulling back your hair and looking straight into the mirror. Your face and head have unique contours that define the overall shape of your face.
While each person's exact face shape is unique, there are seven main categories that they tend to fall into. These include:
- Oval
- Heart-shaped
- Round
- Square
- Diamond
- Rectangular
- Base-down triangle
The last bullet refers to a face shape that is narrow at the forehead and wider at the chin and cheeks.
Choose a Complementary Frame Style
Once you've taken the time to research your face shape, the next step is to find D&G frames that complement it. In our online shop, we offer the following frame styles for this brand:
- Square
- Round
- Rectangular
- Oval
- Cat Eye
- Aviator
There is no right or wrong style and ultimately, it all hinges on what you prefer and feel the most comfortable wearing. Yet, there are certain styles that fit better on some face shapes than others. Next, let's take a look at the three of the most common face shapes and the types of frames that look best with each one.
Oval
If you have an oval face shape, the broadest part of your face is right near your eyes or cheekbones. As such, you might be tempted to go with more narrow frames to add subtle balance.
Instead, try to find frames that are as wide as this area or even ones that are wider. This will help you maintain the natural balance of your features so they all remain proportional.
On our site, you can choose the style of D&G frames you want, deciding between six distinct options. In this case, stick with rectangular or oval frames, such as this medium pair that's sure to turn heads without distracting from your features.
Heart-Shaped
Does your face seem to narrow near your chin and lower cheekbones? If so, you have a heart-shaped face!
With this face shape, your top focus should be on reducing the apparent width of that widest portion. Certain frames can help you do so, including ones that are wider on the bottom than on the top.
Yet, the easiest and most effective way to balance your face shape is to purchase thin or lightly colored frames or even rimless frames. The light and airy appearance that they provide is an excellent counter to your unique, heart-shaped face.
Not sure where to start? Check out DG DD5111. These medium, rimless frames are accented with a hint of red for an unexpected, bold touch.
Round
A round face shape does not have any distinct upward or downward angles. Rather, it is defined by curved lines that have proportionate lengths and widths.
To add a little length, try looking for narrow, angular frames. Or, rectangular frames with a clear bridge can also do the trick, as long as their width exceeds their depth. In either case, there are plenty of D&G glasses to choose from.
For a look that's both feminine and sharp, start with our DD1128B model, available in black or brown. These rectangular frames can help lengthen a round face and the rhinestone-encrusted D&G logo on the sides adds a perfect touch of glam.

Consider Your Needs and Personal Style
Once you know which style of frames will best complement your face shape, the next thing to do is consider which designs best fit your personal aesthetic.
Are you the sporty type, with an active, on-the-go lifestyle?
If so, you might prefer a pair that features thicker temples for added support, such as our DD1172 style. These full-rim glasses are designed with both Black and Havana tones, so they complement any outfit. This makes them the perfect accessories to grab any time you're heading out the door!
For men, our rectangular DD1210 model is perfect for everyday wear and destined to become a wardrobe staple.
Or, are you looking for sleek and sophisticated eyeglasses to wear into the office every day?
In that case, a thinner-rimmed pair will allow you to show off both your professional and personal style. One model that's especially workplace-ready is DD5090, available in understated gunmetal or gorgeous pale gold.
