Hairstyles For Square Faces

Square faces tend to have a more defined forehead, so side-swept bangs are a great style to try. Loose, tousled bobs are also great because they soften your face.

Any hairstyle that falls below the shoulders will help create length, and you can try going for an off-center part to give the illusion of a rounder face. This is helpful since a square face has a strong, angular jawline.

Glasses For Square Faces

When you have a square face, you want to wear round/circular or oval frames to soften your strong jawline. The gently rounded shape just above the cheekbones and the temples will also help to soften up the features of the face.

Avoid angular frames, as they accentuate your sharp features, rather than have a complementary effect on your face shape. This goes for eyeglasses and sunglasses.

Hats For Square Faces

For a square face shape, the goal is to wear hats that soften your angles and add the illusion of length to the face. Hats such as fedoras clash with your strong jaw.

To balance the angular width of your jaw, forehead, and cheekbones, go for a floppy hat with a long, soft brim. Beanies and berets also soften your angular features, especially the slouchy fits that show your hair toward the front of your face.

Jewelry For Square Faces

When it comes to wearing jewelry with a square-shaped face, think soft & simple. Choose necklaces and earrings that have delicate designs and edges. Don't go too bulky with either, as this can make your angular features look even stronger.

Long necklaces and dangly earrings will also add a bit of length, which will help give your face a more balanced look. Wear chains that are on the thinner side, with a very simple design. No extra embellishments are needed, and are in fact, not recommended.
