Here are the types of sunglasses you should go for depending on your face shape.
1. Oval. If you have an oval-shaped face, you’re in luck. Since oval faces, like Eva Mendes’ and Christy Turlington’s, are perfectly balanced, they can rock just about any frame shape and look good.“With its narrow chin and higher cheekbones, oval is the most desired shape,” says celebrity stylist Sam Saboura. The best frames for this face shape are cat-eyes, square-shaped ones, and oversized round frames.
2. Round. Round faces—think Michelle Williams and Queen Latifah—are full all around and have little to no angles to them, lending a sweet, cherub-like quality to the face.“The width and length of the face tend to be similar,” says Kristie Whitford, spokesperson for the Vision Council, an organization that represents manufacturers and suppliers in the optical industry.Selecting frames that are the opposite of your face shape adds definition. The best shape for round face shapes are rectangular, square-shaped, and retro styled ones.
3. Heart: For the perfect example of a heart-shaped face, look no further than America’s sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon. “The goal with sunglasses is to broaden the appearance of the jawline and minimize the width of forehead,” says Kristie Whitford. The best frames for heart-shaped faces are butterfly sunglasses, aviators, and rimless frames.
4. Square. Salma Hayek and Demi Moore are textbook examples of a square face. Think broad forehead, a prominent jawline, and a wide chin and cheekbones, all of which add an aura of regality and poise. “The goal is to soften and balance a strong jawline,” says Kristie Whitford, spokesperson for the Vision Council, an organization that represents manufacturers and suppliers in the optical industry. The best frames for this face shape are rounded, oval-shaped, and vintage-looking frames.
5. Long. With high cheekbones, a strong jaw line and raised forehead, a long face shape has been desirable throughout history thanks to a regal and statuesque aura. Sarah Jessica Parker is a classic example of a long face: Narrow from the top of forehead to the chin, with rounded edges. If your face is longer than it is wide, you’re in good company with SJP. “The right frames will visually shorten and soften the face to balance the length,” says Sam Saboura, celebrity stylist and YouBeauty Style Expert. People with this face she should go for sunglasses that either have embellishment, oversized frames, and ones with frames with both embellishment and contrasting coloring.
6. Long Square. Gwyneth Paltrow and Hilary Swank both have the broad forehead, chiseled jawline and wide chin and lengthy face of the classic long square shape. This shape looks best with sunglasses that act as an opposing force. “The goal is to soften and balance a strong jawline,” says Kristie Whitford, spokesperson for the Vision Council. The best sunglasses for this face shape are round-shaped ones, vintage-looking cat-eye style, and ones that are round and embellished.
7. Rounded Square. Geena Davis and Queen Latifah are living embodiments of the rounded square face, which features the broad forehead and striking jawline of a square shape, with the softening of rounded edges. While you still want to broaden the top half of the face with rounded shapes like square faces do, there’s more room to experiment with softer angles. For these face shapes, it’s best to choose sunglasses that are retro-style, rounded aviators, or oval.
8. Long Heart. For a shining example of a long heart-shaped face, just take a look at Celine Dion. You’ll see that the songstress has a wide forehead and high cheekbones that form the shape of a heart, that comes to a lengthy point at her chin. The best sunglasses for this shape are aviators, rimless, and ones with oversized frames.
9. Rounded Heart. Round faces that have a heart-shaped base—like Eva Longoria—are full all around, with prominent cheekbones that conjure images of an angelic cherub face. Basically, the width and height of the face will be almost equidistant. For people with this face shape, they should look for glasses that are cat-shaped, square-shaped, or rectangular.
