Rectangular eyeglass frames

See just how chic this intellectual style can be

Rectangle frames are one of the most classic eyeglasses looks, dating from the mid-eighteenth century and worn most notably during that era by Benjamin Franklin. Since then, rectangular glasses have been popular thanks to their cerebral style, and now there are more frame options than ever.

Rectangle eyeglasses are known as the best glasses for round faces, but they can work with almost any face shape except square or rectangular faces. What makes them so versatile is their range of proportions; because you’re not limited to long, flat frames, you can match your face shape to several pairs of rectangular eyeglass frames.

Depending on your face shape or style, rectangle glasses that are almost as tall as they are wide, known as “square glasses,” provide the same style benefits as rectangle glasses without overpowering narrower faces. Mainstay, Kam Dhillon, Main And Central, and Chloe offer square glasses in frames ranging from precise metal to bright plastic.
