Guide on How to Choose Sunglasses that Fit Your Face Shape

Sunglasses are an essential accessory not just for summer. You can never go wrong with a pair of sunglasses any day, no matter the season. These accessories are stylish and can add confidence to any outfit. So many options exists – from cat-eye to large sunglasses, and everything in between.

Sunglasses are a simple accessory that can be worn with ease. However, it is easy to go wrong. It is important to choose sunglasses that highlight your features and face. This article will show you how to do that.

But before talking about sunglasses, we need to talk about your face shape first.

How to Measure Your Face and Understand it’s Shape?

I. Use a Measuring Tape

1. Measure the length of your face from one cheekbones to another.
2. Look closely at your jawline to determine if it’s round or sharp.
3. Measure the length of your head from your forehead to your chin.
4. Take the measurement of your forehead. This will determine which type of sunglasses you should choose for your face.

However, if you still can’t do it, there’s a quick and simple way to measure your face without having to use a tape.

II. Use a credit card

1. Stand in front of a mirror with a card.
2. Place one tip of the card vertically on your nose. The other tip should be towards your eyes.
3. You have a small face shape if the card extends beyond your corner of the eye.
4. If the card touches your corner, it means you have a medium-sized face.
5. If it does not reach the corner of your eye, you may have a large-shaped face.

How to determine your face shape and choose the right sunglasses

1. Oval Face Shape

An oval face is one where your chin and cheekbones are rounded. Your face’s length is greater than its width. This results in a wide forehead and narrow jaw.
Oval faces look great with butterfly sunglasses, cat-eyed frames and Aviators. They enhance the facial structure without affecting it. Also, sunglasses with smooth-lined frames look great. Avoid large glasses that will cover your eyebrows.

2. Heart-shaped face

Your face looks like an inverted triangle. Your forehead is wider than your chin, which is the narrowest area of your face. Your face’s width is larger than its length. High cheekbones are also a characteristic of your face.
You shouldn’t wear sunglasses that magnify your wide forehead. This face shape is well-suited for teardrop sunglasses. But, say no to wearing large frames. You can also choose small frames with a narrower bridge. Aviators and round glasses are the best options.

3. Round Face Shape

Your face is almost equal in length and width. Your chin is small and rounded with sharp angles. Your hairline is straight and smooth.
We recommend you to wear something longer to shape your face more like an oval.These sunglasses look stunning in dark colors, so make sure to get oversized ones. Aviators and cat-eyed sunglasses are also great choices. These can improve your face shape and give it personality.

4. Square-shaped face

A square-shaped face will have very similar lengths and widths. Your edges are sharp and angular. Your hairline is straight and smooth.
Get oversized sunglasses. Larger sunglasses will look great on you because your features are well-defined and sharp. Bold colors are also available in oval or round frames. These frames will define and highlight your brows, as well as make your cheekbones pop.

5. Triangular Face Shape

Your forehead and cheekbones are narrow. Your face narrows toward your temples. However, our chin is square.
Look for sunglasses that have a wide upper and large frames. The best glasses for your face are cat-eyed sunglasses. A frameless pair is a better option if you prefer a more casual look.

Find Your Sunglass Style

Sunglasses can be a great accessory. Sunglasses come in a variety of styles, including sassy cat-eyed, bold, oversized sunglasses, and edgy aviators. They are always a bold statement. Let’s take a look through the various types of sunglasses available to help you choose your style.

Oversized Aviator Sunglasses

They are the most beautiful style of sunglasses (not just in our opinion). They look great with many different outfits and face shapes. They are smart, stylish, and chic. Aviators will suit you if you have an oval, round, or triangular face.

Cat-Eyed Sunglasses

Sunnies with cat-eyed lenses will definitely be a unique addition to your collection. They are fun and quirky, as well as very fashionable. They are a reflection of your fun, sassy, and happy personality. They can be worn on any face shape. Cat-sunglasses work best for round or triangular faces.

Round Frame Sunglasses

Just like the classic aviators, round frames sunglasses are easy to wear. They are very versatile and you can’t go wrong with them. You can wear them every day. All face shapes are compatible with round frame sunglasses.

Basic Black Sunglasses

A must-have accessory is basic black sunglasses. These sunglasses are stylish and sophisticated, but they look casual. They are a statement of your style. They are great for all faces, but basics work best on square and oval faces.

You can feel confident and wear your favorite pair of sunnies whenever you want. We hope that we were able to help you choose the right sunglasses for your face.
