What is your face shape?

First of all, it is important to find out what shape your face is. You can do this by standing in front of a mirror and using a felt-tip pen or lipstick to draw the outline of your face on the surface of the mirror. Common shapes include round, oval, square, oblong, heart-shaped, diamond, and triangular.

Why is this important?

The shape of your sunglasses can accentuate or detract from certain features of your face. Correctly selected glasses can create a more balanced look, hide some less desirable features and improve the overall aesthetics of your face.

What kind of glasses to choose according to the type of face

For round faces

If your face is round, with prominent cheekbones and no sharp corners, choose glasses with geometric or rectangular frames that add structure to the face.

For oval faces

Oval faces that are longer than they are wide and have a gently rounded jawline are very versatile. Almost any style of glasses suits them, especially those that are wider than the widest part of the face.

For square faces

For square faces with pronounced jaw lines and a broad forehead, round or oval sunglasses are the ideal choice, softening the sharp lines of the face.

For oblong faces

Oblong faces have similar proportions to oval faces, but are longer. Choose larger, more massive frames that will balance the length of your face.

For heart-shaped faces

If your face is wide at the forehead and narrow at the chin, choose glasses that are wider at the bottom to balance out your face shape a bit.

For diamond faces

Diamond faces have wide cheekbones and a narrow forehead and chin. Frames that emphasize the eyes and soften the cheekbones, such as oval or cat eyes, are recommended.

For triangular faces

For faces with a wider chin and a narrower forehead, sunglasses with strong horizontal lines that widen the upper part of the face are ideal.
