As we discussed about sunglasses, many of the people asked me about how to choose the right sunglass frames that suit their faces. Important question is asked! The shape of the face plays a major role in picking the best suited frames. A wisely chosen frame compliments the face like no other. In the physical store, you still have the choice to try a few options and pick what actually suits you. But you don’t get the same opportunity when you are buying sunglasses online.

Imagine, you might have seen me in a gorgeous pair of sunnies in one of my looks. You really wanna buy one for yourself and it’s just a click away but you are not sure if it would suit your face. Yeah, that makes you feel really helpless that time!!

So here we come with the possible solutions. Today’s blog is about guiding you to choose the right sunglass frames according to the shape of the face.

The face comes in various shapes. Just like every person has different character & qualities, the look or to be precise, the structure of the face is different too.
A few structures that are easily notable are heart, round, oval, square, diamond.

Always remember that opposites attract. So never wear a round shape sunglasses on a round face or a rectangular or square frames on square face. Focus on frames that even out your face structure. Only then you would look your best. Say for example, always try a classic aviator if you have oval or square face.

Round Face

Round Face: If you have a round face, try angular frames. Rectangular, retro square, geometric, lifted brow lined cat eyes or any angular shape would compliment your face as the roundness of the face would be minimized. Angular medium sized frame is perfect for round face. Avoid both too small and too big frames.

Heart face

Heart face: Always remember a heart face has a pointy chin whereas it has a long and wide forehead and cheek area. Any square or oval or sport frames or any other frames that are wide on top but heavy/ angular at the bottom too would perfectly compliment the shape of the face. Stay away from classic aviators and those frames which are wide on top but narrow at the bottom as that reflects your own face’s shape. Pick a cat eye / rimless frame instead.

Oval face

Oval face: Oval face is pretty long and naturally compliments any round or square frame because of its notable length compared to width. The shape of the face is well balanced and softly curved. Hence, an oversized frame too would look good.  Pick frames that are wider. Avoid small / narrow frames.

Diamond face

Diamond face: Diamond face has a wide forehead and the face has a narrow eyeline but wide cheekbones whereas the jawline is pointy. To draw the attention to the eyes, try to wear lifted brow line frames, oval or cat eye with rimless or semi rimless. Focus on big frames that cover the eye area completely while emphasizing the cheek bones.

Square face

Square face: The face has a wide forehead and jawline but a square chin. Any round or oval frame (oversized too isn’t a bad bet if not too big) which makes the face look longer and balances the sharp chin would suit this shape of the face. Avoid square / rectangular and small frames and try picking frames which has sides set at the top of the frame.
