Sunglasses That Flatter Every Face Shape

If your forehead and chin extend widthwise to about the same place and your face is generally less angular, this is your zone. We recommend straying from round shapes and leaning more towards styles with angles to counteract and complement the roundness of your face. This style, in particular, will make your face appear thinner and more angular.

Your face structure tends to be wider at the brow and extremely narrow at the chin. Play up your naturally high cheekbones with a cateye shape that will also help balance the difference in weight between your forehead and chin.

If you have a broad forehead, a sharp jawline, and an overall rectangular appearance of your face, you likely have a square-shaped face. Contrasting with the rules laid out for a round face, choosing a shade with curves will balance out the sharp angles of your face to soften your appearance.

The oval face shape is the most common and most average in proportion, with neither sharp angles nor curves. Lucky for you, you can get away with most anything, so get crazy with a trendy shade—but don’t go too large to distract from your naturally pronounced cheekbones.

Your face shape is probably longer than it is wide, meaning that you’ll benefit from choosing sunglasses that create the illusion of more width. We suggest avoiding small shades that can amplify the length of your face shape, and instead opting for larger shades in a width-heavy shape.
