Before buying your next pair of sunglasses, find out what is the secret to choosing a frame that suits your face shape.
Summer is here, the sun is out, and it is time for sunglasses to take their place on your face. However, picking a pair of sunglasses that do not complement your face shape could hide your amazing features. So how do you know which sunglass type suits you? Begin by knowing what is your face shape!
Square
Individuals with extremely angled jawlines fall under this category. The winning trait for this face shape lies in its bold features. Look for a pair of sunglasses with ovular, circular, butterfly or ‘cat eye’ frame. These frames draw little attention to themselves, and instead draw focus to your prominent features.
Round
This face shape highlights gentle and feminine features with its equally proportionate horizontal and vertical dimensions. Go for rectangular or any form of horizontal frame, such as the Wayfarer. These angular frames make round facial features pop.
Oval
This is a versatile face shape and can carry almost all types of sunglass shapes. Horizontal frames complement oval faces, just like they do round faces. Upswept frames are also a good alternative.
Heart
This face shape features a slightly wider brow, with a narrow jaw and chin. Bring out the unique proportions of the heart shape with frames that have significantly elongated bottoms, such as aviators.
Picking the right pair of sunglasses for your face shape will help to accentuate your facial features. It will also add a splash of glam to your summer style!
