Choosing the Right Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

Choosing the Right Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

We made it girls! 2025 resolution is better health, softer skin, way less wrinkles, and a beautiful aesthetic. And what makes a better aesthetic than a pair of sunglasses?

Every fashion accessory, but that's not the subject today. Today we talk of how different face shapes can be accentuated or balanced out by choosing frames that enhance your natural beauty.

Here’s a guide to help you select the best sunglasses based on your face shape:

 

1. Round Face

If you have a round face with soft curves and equal width and height, the goal is to add angles and structure to balance your face.

Best Frames:

  • Angular styles: Rectangular, square, or geometric frames can add definition.
  • Cat-eye sunglasses: These draw attention upwards and add a sharp, sophisticated edge to soften roundness.
  • Avoid:
    • Round frames, as they can make your face appear rounder. 

2. Oval Face

An oval face is well-balanced with slightly narrower cheeks and a forehead that is just a little wider than the chin. Most frames will work, but it’s about picking the one that highlights your best features.

Best Frames:

  • Square or rectangular frames: These add contrast and create a more angular look, complementing your soft curves.
  • Aviators or Wayfarers: These classic styles work beautifully on oval faces.
  • Avoid:
    • Oversized or overly round frames that might overpower your natural symmetry.

3. Square Face

Square faces have strong jawlines and a broad forehead with angular features. The aim here is to soften the sharpness of the face.

Best Frames:

  • Round or oval frames: These help contrast the angles of your face, adding balance.
  • Aviators and oversized frames: These round out the strong lines of a square face and bring attention to your eyes.
  • Avoid:
    • Square or rectangular frames, as they can emphasize the sharpness of your features.

4. Heart-Shaped Face

A heart-shaped face has a wide forehead and cheekbones with a narrow, pointed chin. The goal is to add width to the lower part of your face.

Best Frames:

  • Round frames: These balance the sharpness of your chin and soften the angles.
  • Cat-eye sunglasses: These frames draw attention upward and complement the shape of your face.
  • Avoid:
    • Oversized top-heavy frames that emphasize the width of your forehead.

 

5. Diamond Face

Diamond faces are characterized by high cheekbones, a narrow forehead, and a pointed chin. To highlight your cheekbones while balancing out the angles, you’ll want frames that create contrast and add softness.

Best Frames:

  • Oval and rimless frames: These can soften the angles while drawing attention to the eyes.
  • Browline sunglasses: These highlight your cheekbones and add definition.
  • Avoid:
    • Narrow frames that can make your cheekbones appear too wide.

6. Long (Rectangular) Face

Long faces are longer than they are wide, often with a high forehead and long jawline. The aim is to shorten the length of your face and add width.

Best Frames:

  • Oversized or wide frames: These add width to your face and help shorten its length.
  • Round or square sunglasses: They work well to break up the length of your face.
  • Avoid:
    • Long, narrow frames or small lenses that elongate the face further.

 

Don’t be afraid to try several styles to see which one feels most comfortable and flattering.

See you next week ♥
