I hate sunglass shopping! How do I pick out the right frames from my face?
You can literally spend hours at the store trying on all sorts of sunglasses giving you a Audrey Hepburn look or a Jackie O style. But, how do you chose the most flattering shades for the shape of your face? Use this friendly guide to give you the look you want.
If you have a Square Face:
You will want to use your sunglasses to soften the angles of your face, so opt for glasses that have more of a curve and wrap around your eyes. Cat-eye styles are ideal for people with a strong jawline. Oval glasses work wonders.
If you have an Oval Face:
Good news! You can wear almost any shape out there, but one word of caution, don’t go crazy when it comes to size. Bigger is not better when it comes to your sunglasses. The glasses should work in proportion to your features and cover the entire area between your brows to your cheekbones. Any frame shape.
If you have a Heart Face:
Pick frames that are rounded and wider at the bottom. The goal is to try and offset the width of the top of your face. Round.
If you have a Round Face:
You have plenty of options that are quite stylish and chic. Look for styles that are narrow or have angles so that the glasses will help lengthen or enlongate your face. Angluar and rectangular styles.
If you have an Oblong Face:
In this case you will want to try and make your face appear shorter, so try frames that are tall or deep and will add some width to your look. Make sure that your sunglasses do not extend beyond the widest part of your face. Round or Square are the best.
