How to Choose Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

Sunglasses do more than block UV — they complete an outfit. Here's how to choose frames for your face shape and style them correctly.

Face Shape Guide

Round Face

Angular frames (square, rectangular, geometric) add definition. Avoid round or small frames that echo the face shape.

Square Face

Round or oval frames soften angular features. Avoid boxy, rectangular frames.

Oval Face

The most versatile shape. Almost any frame works. Experiment freely.

Heart Face (Wider Forehead)

Bottom-heavy frames (aviators, round) balance a wider forehead. Avoid top-heavy or cat-eye frames.

Long Face

Oversized or square frames add width. Avoid small or narrow frames.

Lens Color Guide

• Grey: Reduces brightness without color distortion. Best for driving.
• Brown/amber: Enhances contrast. Great for outdoor sports.
• Green: Reduces glare, maintains color balance.
• Mirrored: Maximum brightness protection. Fashion-forward.

Fit Rules

Frames should not touch your cheeks when you smile. Temples should not grip your head tightly. The frame width should match your face width.

The Classic Shapes

Wayfarer, aviator, and round frames are the three styles that never fully go out of fashion. One of these in a neutral color covers all occasions.
