Sunglasses are one of the most powerful accessories. Yes, it might sometimes be difficult to find that pair that suits your face perfectly, but if you eventually do, you will turn many heads. The secret to achieving this is knowing the shape of your face. And the style of frame that works for it. Still not sure? Keep reading to figure out flattering frames for every face shape and the best option for you. 

ROUND-SHAPED FACES

Square-shaped frames add definition to round face shapes. Angular lines and edges balance the roundness of your face. When shopping for sunglasses, look for rectangular frames with sharp edges or four corners.

SQUARE-SHAPED FACES

It’s a no-brainer; if square frames balance out round faces, then round frames balance out square faces. Rounded corners and soft angles soften sharp jawlines and square foreheads.

HEART -SHAPED FACES

Unlike square and round-shaped faces, the most flattering frame on heart-shaped faces is the one that mimics the shape. Aviators and cat-eye frames are wider at the top and narrow at the bottom, highlighting your best feature. However, balance and proportions are important. Smaller features should go with smaller, thinner frames, while stronger and bigger features should go with thicker or larger frames.

OVAL-SHAPED FACES

Round sunglasses fit wider on round faces, thus balancing the length of an oval face shape. Small round frames accentuate a narrow face, but an oversized round frame is more flattering. It gives the illusion of more width from one cheekbone to another.
