Which sunglasses suit your face shape?
How to determine your face shape?
It all starts with your face shape, as some frames naturally complement different features. The right pair can highlight your best features and create a beautifully balanced look. But first, how do you figure out your face shape? Simply tie your hair back in a slicked-back hairstyle and stand in front of the mirror. Take a look at the proportions of your forehead, cheekbones and jawline. Once you know your face shape, choosing sunglasses becomes so much easier.
1. Which sunglasses suit an oval face?
If your face is longer than it is wide, with your cheekbones being the widest part of your face and a softly rounded chin, chances are you've got an oval face shape. Lucky you! This face shape works with almost every style, so you can have fun trying different looks. Whether you're drawn to oversized styles, aviator sunglasses or bold square frames, it's all about choosing the pair that feels the most like you.
2. Which sunglasses match a round face?
Square and rectangular sunglasses are a great match for round face shapes. Got full cheeks, a soft jawline and a face that's almost as wide as it is long? Then you're officially part of the round face girlies. If you're looking to add a little more definition, these shapes are your go-to. They create a beautiful contrast while letting your natural features shine.
3. Which sunglasses suit a square face?
Hi, square face girlie! If your forehead, cheekbones and jawline are similar in width, you've got beautifully defined features and a strong jawline. Round sunglasses and oval frames soften those angles, creating a balanced look that's effortlessly chic. Looking for something a little bolder? A pair of oversized round frames is always a good idea.
4. Which sunglasses suit a rectangular or oblong face shape?
If you're looking to balance a longer face shape, larger frames are always a great choice. If your face is longer than it is wide with straight, defined lines, you've most likely got a rectangular or oblong face shape. Think oversized styles or round sunglasses that add width and soften your features. The result? A beautifully balanced look that never goes out of style.
5. Which sunglasses suit a heart-shaped face?
Heart-shaped faces have plenty of versatility when it comes to sunglasses. A wider forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow, pointed chin are all signs of a heart-shaped face. Round sunglasses and oval frames help create balance, while cat-eye sunglasses add a playful twist that flatters your features perfectly. If you love switching up your style, this face shape gives you plenty of room to experiment.
6. Which sunglasses suit a diamond face?
Oval and soft cat-eye frames are especially flattering on diamond face shapes. If your cheekbones are the widest part of your face, combined with a narrower forehead and a pointed chin, you've got a diamond face shape. They highlight your cheekbones while creating a soft, balanced look, making them a timeless style you'll love wearing season after season.
