Have you ever walked into an optical boutique or shop, tried out a pair of sunglasses and noticed that it does not look good on you?
Although the sunglasses look beautiful on display, it could be because the frames aren’t right for your face shape.
It’s so important that we pick a style that can truly compliment our features. Different face shapes compliment different styles of sunglasses. There are a total of 5 main different face shapes, here are the 5 different sunglasses that compliment different face shapes:
1. Round Face Shape
To identify if you have a round face, look out for a cherubic. Otherwise a face that has little to no angles. People with round faces should go for square and angular sunglass shapes like aviators and to help accentuate on a more defined face shape. You would want to avoid round, oval, oversized and small sunglasses because they accentuate the softness and roundness of your face.
2. Oval Face Shape
Oval face shapes are normally considered to be one of the ideal face shapes due to the balanced proportions of their face shapes. They have a wide array of sunglasses shapes that can fit their face. Try your best to avoid oversized sunglasses, and aviators. Instead go for square, rectangular and round sunglasses.
3. Heart Face Shape
Heart-shaped faces have a wide top part and a narrow bottom part of their face. It’ll be best to choose sunglasses that can add width to your skin. Some of the sunglasses that would suit this face shape would be cat-eye sunglasses, rimless and other very intricate designs. You should mainly avoid oversized sunglasses if your face shape is heart-shaped.
4. Square Face Shape
A square face shape generally has Chiseled jaw together with a broad forehead. Round sunglasses would be the perfect style to balance out the angles of the square face. You want to try your best to avoid small sunglasses but stick to round, cat eye, oval and vintage sunglasses would be the perfect look! One main frame to avoid is sharp angled frames such as square, rectangle sunglasses.
5. Diamond Face Shape
Diamond face shapes mostly incorporate two different face shape styles. They’re known to be one of the rarest face shapes. You would want to try out frames that can detail the shape of the eyebrow. Some sunglasses shapes include cat eye, oval, and rimless sunglasses can all aid in softening the cheekbones.
