When it comes to finding the perfect pair of eyeglasses, your face shape can make all the difference. For those with square face shapes – strong jawlines, broad foreheads, and equally proportioned facial features – selecting frames that soften angles and enhance your natural symmetry is key.
At MOSCOT, we’ve spent over 100 years designing handcrafted eyewear that suits every face, style, and personality. If you’re searching for the best glasses for square face shapes, our time-tested classics and contemporary favorites offer the ideal blend of balance and boldness.
Whether you’re after glasses for square face women, glasses for square face men, or a unisex look, here’s your guide to MOSCOT’s most flattering frames for square face shapes.
What Defines a Square Face?
A square face typically features:
- A broad forehead
- A strong, angular jawline
- Equal face length and width
- Sharp, minimal curves
The best glasses for square faces soften the geometry with rounded edges, thinner silhouettes, and curved bridges that contrast bold lines and create visual harmony.
The LEMTOSH
Rounded + Iconic + Universally Flattering
The LEMTOSH is our most iconic frame – a round-meets-square silhouette with character, charisma, and creative edge. Its gentle curves and keyhole bridge are tailor-made to balance strong jawlines and square foreheads.
Why it works for square faces:
- Round lenses soften angular features
- Keyhole bridge visually elongates the face
- Thick acetate adds personality without exaggerating structure
Best for:
- Glasses for square face male wearers looking for a bold, timeless statement
- Eyeglasses for square face women who want classic vintage charm
Available in sizes and colorways to suit any vibe – from Crystal to Tortoise to Black – The LEMTOSH is a go-to for square face shape glasses.
MOSCOT is a five generation family-owned New York City heritage eyewear brand with over 100 years of eyewear expertise. The LEMTOSH stands the test of time with its iconic design and continues to uphold a legacy of its own. This rounder classic has served as the calling card for generations of creative, thoughtful, free-spirited intellectuals, artistes, and auteurs.
The MILTZEN
Pure Roundness with Subtle Authority
The MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s, brings soft, circular energy to any look. Its fully round lenses provide perfect contrast to sharp, angular bone structure – making it one of the best eyeglasses for square face women and men alike.
Why it works:
- Completely round silhouette smooths strong facial lines
- Delicate frame enhances features without overpowering
- Minimalist yet full of personality
Style it with:
- Monochrome looks for an artistic edge
- Layers of neutrals for downtown polish
The round, full-vue MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s, is eponymously named for our Uncle Heshy, who inexplicably everyone called Uncle Miltzen. And it stuck. So there you go, world… The MILTZEN.
The ZOLMAN
Ultra-Round + Full of Character
Looking for square face shape glasses that make a statement? The ZOLMAN is an expressive, round-lens frame that leans into vintage with guts and gumption. Its smaller size and keyhole bridge help balance sharp cheeks and jawlines.
Why it works:
- High circularity softens face structure
- Distinctive proportions add flair to minimal curves
- A standout piece for bold personalities
Best for:
- Glasses for square face female customers who love fashion-forward accessories
- Glasses for square face men ready to lean into creative territory
It doesn’t get any more cool and classic than this – the perfectly round ZOLMAN is Great Grandpa Sol’s frame. Yes, that Great Grandpa Sol. As we said, cool and classic. Fun fact: Zolman was Sol’s name on his birth certificate.
The FRANKIE
Soft Angles + Daily Versatility
The FRANKIE brings structure with a wink. This frame walks the line between round and square, making it perfect for those who want shape without too much geometry. It’s a flattering choice for both men and women with square face shapes.
Why it works:
- Subtle curves round out strong features
- Sleek profile adds polish
- Works from 9 to 5 and into the night
Best for:
- Women’s glasses for square face shapes with understated style
- Everyday frames for square face men seeking modern sophistication
With subtle clean lines, and a full-vue shape, The FRANKIE is the epitome of cool, just like our own Frank, aka, Frankie, who has manned the MOSCOT counter for over 40 years and counting. An iconic frame for an iconic man…and a true MOSCOT character.
The ZEV
Lightweight Metal + Balanced Design
Prefer a thinner profile? The ZEV is a refined metal frame with softly squared-off round lenses – the ideal balance for square faces. It adds lift and lightness without sacrificing presence.
Why it works:
- Rounded rectangle lenses balance forehead and jaw
- Slim temples and bridge lighten the overall effect
- A smart, minimal choice for everyday refinement
Best for:
- Glasses for square face men who value structure and simplicity
- Eyeglasses for square face women seeking lightweight elegance
Inspired by the British Public Health Services “Poor Boy” Spectacles of the 1960s, The ZEV is named for Great Grandpa Sol’s cousin and neighborhood lawyer, Zeyfer Braunstein (or Zev for short), who wore this clever, dapper frame (British accent included) when he needed to put his best face forward, helping neighbors whose reputations were on the line, get off the hook.
How to Choose Glasses for Square Faces
MOSCOT Optician Tips:
Lean into curves: Round and oval frames offer the best contrast.
Avoid excessive angles: Steer clear of boxy, geometric styles that exaggerate structure.
Try a keyhole bridge: It helps lengthen your face and add visual lift.
Match your tone: Translucent colors, tortoiseshells, or soft metals flatter most skin tones.
Embrace balance: Look for frames that create equilibrium between strong and soft.
