The Best Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

There are so many face shapes in this world. Consequently, we women are always on the search for finding the best haircut, the best make-up and the best glasses that will suit our face shape. While there are so many, there are four main categories that are used to determine the best glasses shape for you, so here we'll concentrate on them*:

When it comes to buying sunglasses especially, determining your face size and shape is important as it will help you to find a better fitting, more functional pair of sunglasses. Plus, proper fitting sunglasses can help to give you a stylish look throughout summer months! 


The Square Face Shape

Your face has a strong jaw, wide forehead, and wide cheekbones. To soften these features, choose sunnies with soft lines or rimless edges. 


The Round Face Shape

A round face is widest across the cheekbones and narrows some at the forehead and jawline. Oversized, rectangular and angular frames set off roundness.


The Oval Face Shape

An oval face is longer than it is wide. You can pull of any round or square frame. Keep proportion in mind, and try not to go too big or too small for your face.


The Heart Face Shape

The narrowest point of a heart shaped face is at the jawline. Any frames that are wider on the top than they are on the bottom work well. 

*Disclaimer: There are of course more than four face shapes, but for the purpose of this guide, we have chosen to focus on the four main categories opticians generally use to measure.
