When it comes to finding the perfect fitting glasses, a lot depends on your individual face shape. The size of your sunglasses should be proportional to your face size. It is important to look for frames that complement a face by softening or drawing attention away from its more prominent features. If you’re unsure of your actual face shape, this guide also illustrates the main differences between the more common shapes.
Triangular-Shaped
Triangular-shaped faces are widest at the forehead and narrow at the jaw. Aviators will broaden the lower portion of the face by drawing attention up to the eye area. Test out new shapes.
Oval-Shaped
Oval-shaped faces are well proportioned from top to bottom; these types can play with different shapes and colors. Try the Wayfarer style sunglasses.
Round-Faced
Round-shaped faces have a round chin and hairline with the widest point extending across the cheeks to the ears. Avoid round frames. Choose classic square frames.
Square-Shaped
Square-shaped faces tend to have the same horizontal width at the forehead, cheeks and jawline. Soften the face with round-shape lenses. The unisex frame and opaque shades will add a touch of minimalist cool to any wardrobe.
Rectangular-Shaped
Rectangular-shaped faces are long and slender with a narrow chin or high forehead. Shorten and widen the face with round frames.
Diamond-Shaped
Diamond-shaped faces are the most difficult to fit. The face is widest at the cheeks and eye area with a narrow chin and high forehead. Sunglasses, such as square-shaped masks look nice on many of this type of faces. The shape of the frame wraps around the eye area to create a slimming effect.
