I’ve been known to forget things when I’m away from home or the office. For example, my keys never seem to be in my bag the way I want them to be, and my wallet sometimes doesn’t go out with me (thank god Apple Pay). But somehow I almost always have a good pair of sunglasses on hand. It’s a chic accessory that provides sun protection, paparazzi protection, and lets you channel your inner Posh Spice as you walk down the street.
Sunglasses never go out of style and instantly elevate your look. However, finding the perfect pair that complements your looks and makes you feel like a movie star can be tricky. Sometimes the latest styles don’t look as good on us as we thought, and we end up examining the reflections in the shop windows we pass by wondering “is this a bug?”. To avoid any self-conscious second-guessing, I’ve done some research to help you find the best sunglasses styles for your face shape so you can take to the streets with confidence.
goose egg face
An oval face shape gives you a lot of room to play with your shades. A rectangle or square is a good choice for balancing the vertical face shape of an oval face, but you can also adjust the frame size a bit.
round face
If you have a soft chin and rounded face, a square frame or traveler will be your jam. The structured shape of the sunglasses will complement the feminine features of your face.
square face
If you have a square face, your jawline and distinct features may be more prominent. For some contrast, look for sunglasses with cat-eye or round shapes.
heart shaped face
If you have a round forehead and a narrow chin, then you have a heart-shaped face. Stock up on sunglasses with lighter frames at the top and rounded frames at the bottom, just like the aviators.
I hope you can find a pair of sunglasses that will help you block a) sun b) haters c) paparazzi flashers or d) all of the above.
