How to Choose the Perfect Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

Struggling to find sunglasses that actually suit your face? You’re not alone. The right pair can elevate your entire look - if you know what to look for. In this guide, we break down how to choose the perfect sunglasses based on your face shape, so you feel confident, stylish, and ready to take on the sun.

 

1. Identify Your Face Shape

Before shopping, it’s key to understand your face shape. Here’s how to spot yours:

  • Oval: Balanced features, slightly narrower jaw than forehead.

  • Round: Soft angles, full cheeks, face is almost equal in width and height.

  • Square: Defined jawline, broad forehead, strong features.

  • Heart-shaped: Wider forehead, high cheekbones, narrow chin.

  • Long/Rectangular: Face appears longer than it is wide.

Pro tip: Tie your hair back and trace your face shape on a mirror using eyeliner or lipstick.

 

2. Best Sunglasses for Each Face Shape

Oval Face

Almost every frame style flatters your shape - lucky you!

You’ll want to add structure and angles.

3. Don't Forget These Details
