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.

Model	Shape	Lens width	Bridge	Total width	Lens height	Often suits
Romy	Long and low	55 mm	17 mm	144 mm	32 mm	Round and oval faces
Will	Tall front	53 mm	24 mm	145 mm	42 mm	Round and long faces
Jimi	Square wayfarer	53 mm	20 mm	143 mm	37 mm	Round and oval faces

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.

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.
