Fashion lovers would agree that sunglasses are not all about protecting your eyes against harmful radiation and reducing fatigue – they are also a major summer accessory and add charm to your overall image. That is why you should choose the sunglass type that suits your face shape.
Remember that the frame shapes of the sunglasses will complement and enhance your best facial features. If you want sunglasses to be part of your fashion statement this year, consider the following tips:
1. Round Face
A round face has a length and width that are almost identical. You have a small rounded chin with no sharp angles, while your hairline is rounded and smooth. You must go for glasses with dark frames since your goal is to lengthen your face visually. These frames will narrow the face and make the contours closer to an oval shape. If you wish to balance your facial proportions, go for frames with a greater width than the height.
You can try:
- Cat’s eyeglasses;
- Square, rectangular, and pointed glasses;
- Aviators;
- Butterfly glasses;
- Wayfarers.
2. Oval Face
If you have an oval face, your task is not to disturb the harmonious proportions of your face. So, never go for sunglasses that look too massive. Instead, choose the one with a slightly wider frame or as wide as your face. Plus, ensure that the frame’s upper part aligns with the eyebrows.
You can try:
- Aviators;
- Butterfly glasses;
- Cat’s eyeglasses;
- Glasses with smooth-lined frames like round, oval, and rectangular.
3. Square Face
Square frames or sharp-angled frames can overload your square face’s outlines. So, it is best to go for rounded frames because they will visually soften and balance your overall facial proportions.
You can try:
- Glasses with colored frames;
- Aviators;
- Frameless glasses;
- Cat’s eyeglasses;
- Glasses with teardrop-shaped, round, and oval frames.
4. Rectangular Face
Having a rectangular face means your face should look visually broader. It is recommended to wear large, massive-looking glasses. Plus, ensure that your eye-catching sunglasses have slender frames and transparent lenses that match your skin tone.
You can try:
- Round-framed glasses;
- Aviators with large frames;
- Large-framed glasses.
5. Heart-shaped Face
Do you have a heart-shaped face? If so, your task when choosing sunglasses is to go the one that can balance out your face’s upper part by making the lower part look bulkier. Never go for massive-looking glasses because they will only add more bulk to the upper part. Instead, glasses with widths are the same as your face’s face.
You can try:
- Neutral-colored or bright frames;
- Frameless glasses;
- Wayfarers;
- Aviators;
- Glasses with low-set arms;
- Small frames with narrow bridges;
- Round glasses.
6. Triangular Face
If you have a triangular face, you have to work on making your face’s upper part visually broaden while making its lower half less conspicuous. You can pick sunglasses with a broad upper part and a large frame. Ensure that the lower part does not have sharp or square outlines.
You can try:
- Frameless glasses;
- Cat’s eyeglasses with transparent lenses;
- Aviators;
- Round glasses without bright decorations.
There you have it! There is no way for you not to stand out with the above ideas.
Keep being AllDayChic!
