Sunglasses don’t only protect your eyes from your sun, but are also the ultimate fashion statement. I also like to wear them, when I am too lazy to put on eye makeup. Only lipstick or lip gloss and blusher paired with hip sunglasses and I am ready to face the world.
Some people are born with the face shape that can just wear any type of the shades. And well, some are not! I have outlined few guidelines for you to find the perfect frame that suits your face shape best.
Square Face

Facial Features
Angular face with a strong jaw line, broad forehead and square chin. Proportional length and width.
Frames to Try
Oval and round frames
Glasses with temples that are center set or that connect at the top of the frame
Butterfly shaped glasses
Frames to Avoid
Geometric and square shaped frames that accentuate angles of the face
Low-set temples or color accents on the bottom of the frames that draw emphasis to the chin
Oval Face

Facial Features
Mostly balanced proportions. chin is slightly narrower than forehead and cheekbones are high
Frames to Try
Most frame shapes work with oval faces
Square, rectangular and geometric shapes which add angles to soft curves
Frames to Avoid
Frames that are too large for your features
Oblong Face

Facial Features
Narrow shape that's longer than it is wide
Angular features with high cheekbones, a longer nose and tall forehead
Frames to Try
Tall frames that help create a shorter face.
Broad glasses with an accented top rim or decorative temple that adds width
Frames to Avoid
Small frames that are out of proportion
Short frames that accentuate
Round Face

Facial Features
Full cheeks, rounded chin with few angles.
Width and length are in same proportions
Frames to Try
Angular and geometric frames that sharpen facial features
Rectangular and horizontal styles make faces appear longer and thinner
Upswept frames that draw attention to top of face
Glasses with temples that connect at the top of the frame add length
