Three of the most requested frame shapes, compared side by side so you can actually decide.
These three shapes cover most of what people search for when shopping eyeglasses by look rather than by face shape. Here's what each one actually offers.
Round frames have a retro, intellectual feel — think classic 1960s optical style. They soften angular faces well but can make a naturally round face look even softer, so they tend to suit square, diamond and rectangular faces best.
Cat-eye frames lift at the outer corners, adding a lightly dramatic, feminine-leaning edge. They flatter most face shapes in a lighter form, and work especially well on oval and heart-shaped faces where the upward lift echoes the cheekbones.
Rectangle frames bring clean, straight lines and a slightly more serious, professional feel. They're the go-to shape for adding structure to round or oval faces, and tend to be the safest, most versatile of the three for everyday wear.
| Round | Cat-Eye | Rectangle | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Square, angular faces | Oval, heart-shaped faces | Round, oval faces |
| Look | Retro, intellectual | Lightly dramatic | Clean, professional |
| Versatility | Moderate | Moderate to high | Highest |
If your face already has soft curves, rectangle adds the structure it's missing. If your face has strong angles, round frames soften them. If you want a shape that leans stylish without being loud, cat-eye is usually the middle ground between the two.
All three shapes available from AED 99, with UAE-wide delivery.

Cat-eye frames suit most face shapes in a lighter form, but work especially well on oval and heart-shaped faces, where the upward lift complements the cheekbones.
Not at all — rectangle is simply the most versatile and safest shape, adding structure to round or oval faces while still working well across colors and materials.
Rectangle tends to be the most broadly wearable shape across different face types, which is why it's often recommended as a safe first choice.
