Sunglasses have such a glamorous impact on the way we look. Different sunglasses frame styles can either play up or play down your unique facial contours. A pair of ultra-flattering sunglasses can balance your face shape and emphasize your best features. In general, you want sunglasses to compliment your face shape by bringing balance. Therefore, you want to avoid the same sunglass shape as your facial contours. Our face shape guide for sunglasses underlines what you should focus on when shopping for the perfect sunglasses.
Absolutely gorgeous Heart
face shape
A heart face is widest at the forehead and gradually narrows
to the jaw line. Because your face narrows at the jaw, you want to find
sunglasses that broaden the appearance of your jaw line and minimize the width
of the forehead. We recommend frames with thin temples and detailing on the
lower portion to create balance. Cat-eyed and oversized frames are perfect for
you.
Head-turner Square
face shape
A square face shape means a strong jaw line slightly wider than your
forehead, a wide chin and cheekbones. Bold features characterize your
distinctive look and let you get attention wherever you go. You should look for
thinner frames that are slightly wider than your cheekbones like round, oval
and butterfly to highlight your eyes, and balance to your angular features. Try
to avoid square, boxy frames.
A round face has a width and height that are roughly equivalent. Characterized by feminine and soft contours. You want frames that make your face look longer and thinner, therefore your goal is to find frames that provide contrast to your face shape. Geometric shapes like horizontal frames, Wayfarers and rectangle shapes will offset this shape’s natural curvature.
Lucky in life Oval
face shape
The perfectly balanced shape - an oval face shape is the most versatile to fit almost any style of sunglasses. Your face is with slightly wider cheekbones and a gentle narrowing at the forehead and jaw. Since you can pull off just about anything, have some fun with bold styles and colours that compliment your style. The only advice is to look for frames that are in proportion to your face.

Although sunglasses are a great fashion accessory in the summer,
you need to look for a pair that protects your eyes from both UVB and UVA rays.
They also help to prevent wrinkles by protecting the delicate skin around the
eyes from premature ageing. So, don’t forget to throw on sunglasses year
around, even on cloudy days.
