Rectangular Glasses
Rectangular glasses have straight lines that give the face structure and a clear, clean expression. We have two rectangular models, Romy and Will, and the square Jimi if you want even more edge. All of them are designed in Stockholm and can be ordered with or without prescription.
What are rectangular glasses?
Rectangular glasses have lenses that are clearly wider than they are tall, with straight top and bottom edges. The shape adds structure and suits round and oval faces especially well, where it contrasts with soft features. At Corlin, rectangular frames come in two models, Romy and Will, from 1,299 SEK.

Which rectangular glasses should I choose?
The big difference between the models is the height of the lenses. Romy is low, Will is tall and Jimi sits in between.
Who do rectangular glasses suit?
Rectangular glasses suit round and oval faces best. The straight lines add structure and make a round face look a little longer and narrower.
If you have a square face with an angular jaw, it is the other way around. Straight lines emphasize the angles, and round or oval frames usually create better balance. If you have a long face, a tall frame like Will is a better choice than the low Romy, because it covers more of the length of the face.
Rectangular, round or oval glasses?
The shape affects the expression as much as the color. This is how rectangular glasses differ from the other shapes.
| Shape | Expression | Often suits | At Corlin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rectangular and square | Clear and structured | Round and oval faces | Romy, Will, Jimi |
| Oval | Soft and discreet | Most face shapes | Selma, Aidan, Louis |
| Round | Soft and personal | Square and heart-shaped faces | Todd, Kim, Fred, Celia, Victoria |
Low or tall rectangular glasses?
Rectangular frames can give completely different expressions depending on how tall the lenses are. A low frame feels slim and modern, while a tall frame stands out more and gives a bolder look.
Can I get rectangular glasses with prescription?
Yes. All our rectangular and square frames can be ordered with lenses made to your prescription. You choose the lens type and enter your values when you order.
