How to match Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

Finding the right sunglasses can be the most excruciating thing. You can try hundreds of sunglasses and still you’re not sure if that’s the right pair! But don’t worry, here are some tips on how to choose the perfect shades for your face shape.

If your face is square, choose a pair that has a soft oval shape. This will soften the angles of a square face. Make sure to pick rimless glasses as well, those look best on you.

If your face is long and narrow, choose round or square frames with big lenses. Because the lenses are so big, it will cut out part of your face and make it seem shorter and not so narrow.

If your face is round, stick to frames that are as wide or even wider than the widest part of your face. This will give your face a longer shape.

If you’re heart shaped, pick shades with sides that attach in the middle of the lenses. Just keep in mind that square sunglasses are most flattering for your face shape.

Narrow Chin Those with narrow chins, such as Victoria Beckham’s, can opt for round frames that will soften a sharp chin.

Wide Forehead

Cover a wide forehead with a pair of straight-edge framed sunglasses like Kylie Minogue’s.

Long Face

If you have a long face with a high forehead minimize the effect with a pair of large square-shaped sunglasses that will help hide the long face and protect you from the sun too.

Narrow Face

If you have a slender, narrow face, fix it with a pair of round large sunglasses. They’re all the rage this summer plus great for hiding tired eyes.

Angular Face

If you have an angular face like Kate Moss, opt for 40′s inspired aviator sunglasses. They look super chic and will offset a strong jaw.

Round Chin

If you have a round chin like Kelly Ripa, try out an angular frame to create a flattering contrast with the roundness of your features.

Full Cheeks

If you want to hide a full face and full cheeks, go for wraparound frameless shades like Sienna Miller’s.
