Triangle face shape

Width builds toward the lower face.

Try two frames at the same width
A heavier top rim adds definition above the wider jaw.
A light, fine oval rim leaves that lower outline in focus.

How to recognize the outline

With the temples visible, compare your upper outline to the two jaw corners. A triangle or pear-shaped sketch is broader lower down. A beard or wide collar can add a separate outline, so follow the edge you can actually see.

Triangle or square?

On a triangle the sides widen toward the bottom. On a square the temple, cheek and jaw widths are closer. If the jaw edge is hidden, a styling trial can still be useful without settling on one label. See the square sketch.

What to check when trying glasses

Compare a defined top rim with a fine rounded pair of similar width. Watch whether the top edge draws attention upward or lets the jaw stay visually prominent. Check the bridge and temple pressure on both.

A haircut trial in the mirror

Compare the same part with a little volume at the temples, then with the sides smoothed down. Leave the ends alone during the trial so you can see what changed around the upper outline.
