The five styles
- The cat eye. A lifted outer corner, from a soft lift to a sharp point. The most feminine of the five and the one that lifts the face; the cat eye glasses guide covers how much lift is enough.
- The round. A full curve, from a true circle to a soft round with a flat top. The intellectual, vintage style, and the one with the most history; the round glasses for women guide covers the four rounds.
- The panto. Round below, flat along the top, so the upper edge follows the brow. The round most women actually wear, and the easiest style across face shapes; the panto glasses guide covers it.
- The geometric. A round or a square with an extra angle cut in, a hexagon or a faceted shape. The modern style, light and precise; the geometric glasses guide covers the family.
- The square-round. A square with softened corners, the line without the box. The understated, professional style; the square glasses guide covers the square family in full.
The types of glasses frames guide covers the other shapes that exist, rectangle, oversized, browline, rimless and aviator, and this guide says plainly which of them the MUJOSH range carries and which it does not.
Which style suits which face
The rule for all five is contrast: a frame adds what the face lacks. A round face takes a line, a square face takes a curve, a long face takes depth, a heart face takes weight at the bottom, and an oval face takes most things.
- Round faces. The cat eye, with its lift and its corner; the geometric, with its angles; the square-round in a medium rim. The round and the soft panto repeat the curve.
- Square faces. The round and the panto, which soften the jaw; a soft cat eye. The square-round only in a thin rim.
- Heart faces. The cat eye, which echoes a wide brow; the panto, which is light at the top and fuller below.
- Long faces. The round and the panto with depth, which add width at the cheekbone; a deep square-round. Shallow frames make a long face longer.
- Oval faces. All five; the only decision is size and rim.
The glasses for face shape guide has the full matrix with the shape-by-shape detail.
Rim and colour: the choices that change the style
The same shape reads three ways depending on the rim. A thin metal or thin acetate rim is the quiet version, which disappears on the face and suits fine features; the thin frame glasses guide covers it. A medium acetate rim is the version with presence, for a strong face or a frame that is meant to be seen. A thick rim is a statement and wants dark hair and plain clothes around it; the thick frame glasses guide covers where it tips over.
Colour follows skin, hair, eyes and wardrobe, and the what colour glasses should I get guide runs the four question check. The short version: tortoise on most colouring, with the shade chosen from the hair, which the tortoise shell glasses guide covers; black in a thin rim on dark hair; grey, crystal or a soft tint on cool skin and grey hair, which the clear frame glasses guide and the glasses for women over 50 guide cover; gold or warm metal on warm skin.
Styles for work and styles for the weekend
At work the styles that read as considered and quiet are the square-round in a thin rim, the panto in a dark tortoise or black, and the geometric in a thin metal or grey crystal, which is why they are the frames of the thin, light look in the glasses trends 2026 guide. For the weekend and the evening the cat eye and the full round carry more character, in a medium acetate, an amber tortoise or a colour. Most women who wear glasses every day end up with one of each: a quiet frame for the week and a frame with a line for the rest, and the quiet one is the one to buy first.
What is in style this year
Three directions, all of them in the five shapes. The thin, light frame: a thin metal or crystal geometric or panto that sits high and reads as almost nothing, which the small glasses guide covers as the narrow frame look. The soft cat eye in a medium acetate, the feminine shape worn without the sharp point. And the round with a flat top, the panto, in a warm tortoise. Oversized acetate, the look of the last decade, is still worn and still flattering on a round or long face, and it is the one shape this range does not carry.
Fit: the style only works if the frame stays level
A cat eye that slides loses its lift, a panto that slides loses its flat top, and every one of the five reads smaller and heavier when it sits low. The checks: the frame reaches the sides of the face at the temples without pressing, the eyes sit near the centre of each lens, the lower rim clears the cheeks when you smile, and the frame stays put when you look down. On a nose that does not rise much between the eyes, a frame cut for a lower nose bridge or one with adjustable pads keeps the lens at the height it was drawn for; the low bridge fit glasses collection lists the cut, and the how should glasses fit guide has the three checks.
MUJOSH glasses styles for women
The five styles, one frame each, from the eyeglasses collection. A straight answer on what the range does not carry: no oversized acetate, no browline, no rimless, no optical aviator and no rectangle. Lens options are on each product page. Prices as listed on 27 October.
- The cat eye. Trendy Diamond, $99: a diamond-cut cat eye in acetate with a low bridge fit, GBT black among two colourways. The lifted corner for a round or heart face.
- The round. Halo, $119: a lightweight retro frame in a rounded shape with adjustable nose pads, in GBD grey or DTD amber tortoise. The full round for a square or long face, with the pads to set the height.
- The panto. Alio XZ, $99: a crown panto in ultra-light AQUA material with spring hinges and a low bridge fit, in BT brown, BB black or TG grey. The easiest style across faces and the lightest frame in the range.
- The geometric. Ultem, $99: a geometric multi-cut frame in lightweight Ultem with a mortise and tenon hinge, five colourways including a clear warm tint, grey crystal and black. The modern thin frame for work.
- The square-round. Beta Pitot, $135: a square-round with beta-titanium temples and a low bridge fit, in BGT black with gold temples or HTT dark tortoise. The professional frame with the most line.
The acetate frames and metal frame glasses collections sort the range by material.
The bottom line
Glasses styles for women are five shapes: the cat eye, the round, the panto, the geometric and the square-round. A round face takes the cat eye, the geometric and the square-round; a square face the round, the panto and a soft cat eye; a heart face the cat eye and the panto; a long face depth; an oval face all five. A thin rim is the quiet version, a medium rim the one with presence, and colour follows hair and skin with tortoise the safe answer. The quiet frame for work comes first and the frame with a line second, and none of it works if the frame slides. In the MUJOSH range Trendy Diamond is the cat eye, Halo the round, Alio XZ the panto, Ultem the geometric and Beta Pitot the square-round.
The soft, round, light-rimmed end of these five shapes is the cute glasses guide.
