Finding the best sunglasses for you

You’ve made a choice to invest in a pair of sunglasses but now you need to decide which pair suits you best. 

We have narrowed down four classic shapes that fit most face shapes. We’ve got a few tips on how to pick the right pair for you. 

Find your face shape

Square

The face’s length and width are almost identical. The chin is broad and angular. The cheekbones, jaw and forehead are of equal width. The hairline is almost straight. 


Oval
The face’s length is slightly greater than the width. The chin is rounded. The shape is the widest at the cheekbones, and a gentle narrowing down and up.

 
Round
This face shape has the same width and length with a gentle line drawn around it, without the angular features. 

 
Heart
This face shape is again broadest at the forehead, with a gentle curve down to the chin. 

How to measure face shape?

Start by measuring the width from ear to ear and the distance between the top of the forehead and your chin. Then, measure both your forehead and your jawline at their widest point. From these proportions, you’ll find out if you have an oval, round, square or heart-shaped face.

Which Sunglasses Style Suits My Face Shape?

Now that you have determined your face shape, let’s narrow down which styles are suitable.

 

Square face shapes:

The best glasses for square faces are round or oval-shaped – this helps round out the sharpness of the face for a more balanced look. Examples of styles that would work well for square faces are aviators and round or any frame style that favours oval or circular curves. 

 

Oval face shapes:

Oval faces have it made because literally, every frame looks awesome! Designer to sport, fashion to function, everything works. Just don’t get huge frames that block out those pretty symmetrical features; choose sunglasses that cover the face from the eyebrows to the cheekbones.

 

Round face shapes:

The round face shape has noticeable curves and less defined angles. The best glasses for round faces avoid curved features, emphasizing sharp angular lines that will help elongate your face and make it look thinner and sharper. This face group may benefit from high-on-the-temple, colourful frames as well. Round face shapes work best with Rectangle, square and wrap shaped glasses.

 

Heart/ Triangle shape faces:

Heart-shaped faces, sometimes called triangle, are widest at the temples and narrowest at the chin. The best sunglasses for heart and triangle-shaped faces feature wide lower edges with no straight lines along the top because they shift attention downward and elongate the face. Cat-eye styles or glasses that feature rounded edges are ideal for giving the wearer a more balanced look. This face shape will be best served with shield, rimless, or aviator style frames.

 

This is a general guideline for you to get started. Most of us suit multiple styles!
