How to Find Sunglasses to Flatter your Face Shape

Posted on July 13, 2016 |

Whether your at the beach or a cookout, walking or driving, protecting your eyes from the sun should be fashionable, not just functional!

Here are some tips for determining which shades best compliment your face shape:

~ Square/Angular Face
strong jawline, broad forehead and square chin

Oval and round frames will help soften the prominent angles of your face
Butterfly shaped glasses are also great and the extreme shape can be supported by strong, angular features.
Glasses with temples that are center set or that connect at the top of the frame

~ Oval Face
long face, high forehead and cheekbones

Most frame shapes work with oval faces.
Square, rectangular and geometric shapes add angles and width, balancing the length of the face.

~ Round Face
full cheeks, round chin. Width and length are the same proportions.

Look for Angular and geometric frames that sharpen facial features
Rectangular and horizontal styles also help make the face appear longer and thinner
Upswept frames draw attention to top of face, and glasses with temples that connect at the top of the frame add length
Avoid adding extra width to your face with wraparound, frameless shades

~ Heart Shaped Face
Broad forehead and wide cheek bones that narrow to a small chin
