The situation when we find ourselves in front of a range of sunglasses is always the same. We put one pair on our nose after another before we find out in this lottery which ones best suit our face. Because in the end, that's what counts, and not which one seems to please you the most. What if we told you that there is a shortcut to that conclusion? So that, based on the shape of your face, you can already at the start eliminate glasses that will certainly not suit you and those that will. And yes, summer may be coming to an end, but the sales are coming and with the new knowledge you will make a really good deal - for your wallet and for your appearance.
You're probably wondering what is the reason that certain glasses do not fit your face well, and is determined. Coincidence? Where! He hides behind it all the shape of your face, which is a kind of filter for the shape of the frames that are "destined" for you. In the case of eyeglass frames, the opposites attract (the shape should contrast with the shape of the face, and the size should be proportional to the size of the face) because with them balance your face.

So how to choose the right sunglasses for your face? With the guide below, which will be much easier than your previous "trial and error" method.
Round face shape
If you have a round face, consider classic aviator frames or stick to more square frames. Avoid round ones unless you want to resemble a smiley face.
Oval face shape
Those of you with an oval face shape have hit the nail on the head. All types of sunglasses look good on you. You simply cannot go wrong with the choice.
Square face shape
The key to success for people with a square face shape is rounded frames, while sharp edges are not their ally. You remembered: opposites attract. Among the round ones, look for ones that match the width of your face.
Heart shaped face
Square frames will add dimension to a heart-shaped face. Avoid anything oversized or teardrop shaped. You can't go wrong with rimless or classic aviator sunglasses.
Oblong face shape
For people with an elongated face, the best choice is sunglasses with a more square shape (more height than width), as they optically widen the face. If they have decorations on the sides, even better, because the effect will be even greater. You won with aviator frames.
Diamond face shape
This face shape is almost as rare as real diamonds. "Holders" look for frames that are bold at the top and slightly narrower at the bottom. Cat-eye glasses are a hit for women.
