How to choose the right sunglasses for your face shape!

When it comes to buying a pair of sunglasses, it's important to consider not only the style, but also the fit on your face. Understanding your face shape and choosing the right style can make a difference to your appearance. Here's how to choose the right sunglasses based on your face shape.

First, determine your face shape. This can be done by pulling your hair back, standing in front of a mirror and sketching the outline of your face with a marker. There are seven main face shapes: round, oval, square, heart, diamond, elongated and triangle.

The round face shapes have gentle, rounded curves and equal width and length, similar to the shape of a circle. Round faces are best matched with angular or geometric frames that add definition and elongate the face. Aviator,wayfarer and cat-eye styles are popular choices.


Oval face shapes are balanced and have a slightly wider forehead and narrower chin. Almost any style of sunglasses will look good on an oval face, but to balance the proportions of the face, choose frames that are as wide as the wide part of the face.

The square face shapes have strong jawline, wide forehead and angular features. Look for round, oval or cat-eye sunglasses that round the corners of the face. The aviator and wayfarer can also be great options.

Heart-shaped faces have a wide forehead and narrow chin, with the cheekbones as the widest part of the face. To balance the proportions, choose braces with a heavy bottom, such as cat-eye or round styles that draw attention downward.

Diamond-shaped faces have a narrow forehead and jawline, with the cheekbones as the widest part of the face. Look for arms that have detailing or subtle brow lines to draw attention to the eyes and balance the cheekbones.

Tight faces have a longer face shape, with a narrow forehead and jawline. To shorten the facial appearance, choose frames that are wider than the cheekbones or have a low bridge to shorten the nose. Aviator, wayfarer and round styles can be good options.


Triangle-shaped faces have a narrow forehead and wider jaw and cheekbones. To balance proportions, choose frames that are wider at the top, such as cat-eye, square or oval styles.

In conclusion, choosing the right sunglasses based on your face shape can improve your overall appearance and make a big impact. Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and shapes to find the perfect pair that works for you. Just remember to keep your face shape in mind and try different styles to find the best fit.
