Take a front selfie

Look straight into the camera with your whole face in the frame and your hair as you usually wear it. Take off any glasses you have on. Even lighting works best.

Rectangular glasses have lenses that are clearly wider than they are tall, with straight top and bottom rims and softly rounded corners. They are the classic office frame: the straight lines read neat and serious, and the shallow lens keeps the frame light on the face.

Look at the depth. A shallow rectangle sits low and can leave a gap below the brows, a deeper one covers more of the eye area. Progressive lenses need enough lens height for the reading zone, so check with your optician before you choose a very slim pair.

FAQ

What is the difference between rectangular and square glasses?

Rectangular lenses are clearly wider than they are tall; square lenses are about as tall as they are wide. Square frames look bolder, rectangular ones calmer.

Are rectangular glasses good for a narrow face?

Yes, if the frame is narrow too: choose a size that keeps the frame as wide as your temples, not wider, and a slimmer rim so it does not overpower your features.
