Question 1

How do I know my face shape for sunglasses?

Accepted Answer

Pull your hair back and look straight into a mirror, then trace the outline of your face. If it is about as wide as it is long with a rounded chin, it is round; a strong jaw and forehead of similar width is square; longer than it is wide with balanced proportions is oval; and a wider forehead with a narrow chin is heart-shaped.

Question 2

Which sunglasses suit a round face?

Accepted Answer

Angular frames such as rectangles, wayfarers and geometric shapes add definition and make a round face look longer and slimmer. Avoid small round frames, which echo the face shape.

Question 3

What sunglasses look best on a square face?

Accepted Answer

Round and oval frames soften a strong jawline and broad forehead. Frames that are slightly wider than the cheekbones and have soft curves balance the angles of a square face.

Question 4

Do oval faces suit any sunglasses?

Accepted Answer

Oval faces are the most versatile and suit almost every frame shape. Oversized, geometric and classic styles all work, as long as the frame is not wider than the broadest part of the face.
