Find Sunglasses For Your Face


Find the perfect pair of sunglasses for your face this summer.

Before we can decipher which pair would fit you best, going over the different face shapes would be the best plan of attack. Everyone has a differently shaped face, but the four most common shaped for men are Square, Round, Oval and Triangle or Heart-Shaped.



Before you go shopping, figure out your face shape and then follow this guide for the best pair to fit your face. Do not just buy the latest trend. What looks good on Brad Pitt may not always look good on you! So take a few seconds to look in the mirror and figure out your face shape.

Square Face - Oval, Round
Strong jawlines usually correspond with square faces. The same can be said for a wide forehead and wide cheekbones. Go for the exact opposite shape in choosing your sunglasses to avoid angular shapes contrasting.

Round Face - Rectangular Frames
Round faces are best paired with frames that minimize the curve, chose a pair of sunglasses that are more rectangular to help your face look longer.

Oval Face - Any Frame
This size face provides the most flexibility when it comes to the shape of sunglasses. Almost any pick is sure to compliment your face structure.

Heart-shaped or Triangular Face - Cat-Eyes, Straight Top Line, Geometric
Men who have heart shaped faces usually carry most of their head weight toward their forhead. If you pick a cat-eye pair or a rimless-bottom frame, the sunglasses will counter balance your narrow jaw line.
