Square shaped face: Suit aviators, oval and cat-eye
Your most prominent facial features are most-likely your wide jawline and square chin & strong cheekbones. Vision Direct says “Thinner, round shaped frames will suit you best. Classic aviators are especially flattering, as the curves in the thin wire frames help to soften your more angular features.”
Other styles you can try are oval & cat-eye, and it’s always bets to opt for more neutral tones.
