Not only do sunglasses protect your face eyes from UV light, but they can also lend an instant, undeniable cool factor to just about anyone. That being said, there are a lot of stylish sunnies out there, but finding pair that fits well, balances your features, and looks like they were made for your face can be hard to find. Throw out the “one-size-fits-all” myth and discover how finding a pair that is right for you can take your shade game to a whole new level. Consider this your go-to guide on how to find the best style for your face shape.

Heart-Shaped Face

A heart-shaped face like Reese Witherspoon’s is characterized by a broad forehead, pointed, narrow chin and high cheekbones.

We recommend: Go for cat-eye shaped or rounder-bottomed sunglasses  – they’ll highlight your cheekbones and balance your features by shifting focus downward on the face, creating the illusion of a fuller jawline.

Round Face

If you have a round face like Selena Gomez, go for sunnies that elongate your youthful full cheeks and rounded chin and ones that create structure.

We recommend:  Go for square frames or wayfarers to provide angular lines that will give definition to your soft features. Make sure your frames are slightly wider than the widest part of your face, as this will add length. Make sure to avoid glasses that mimic your own shape, as circular frames will make your face appear more round.

Square Face

Sticking square-faced gals like Vanessa Hudges have bold features and are natural head-turners. Features such as a prominent forehead as well as a strong jawline characterize your distinctive look.

We recommend:  Try oversized and curvier frames like round, oval, cat eye, butterfly and semi-rimless to playfully accentuate the fullness of your cheeks and balance a strong jawline.

Oval Face

If you are like Jessica Alba and have a beautiful oval-shaped face, you have a very veritable base when it comes to choosing shades! Balanced features such as high cheekbones, a narrower chin than forehead gives you the power to highlight and minimize different facial features depending on the style you wear.

We recommend:  Lucky you! Just about any style of sunglasses works on an oval-shaped face, especially aviators and wraparounds. Jessica’s oversize Wayfarers-style shades work great, as the geometric shape is a nice counter to the soft curves of her face.
