Runaways

Everyone has different facial features and depending on your face shape, finding the right sunglass style can sometimes feel like a challenge.

Some sunglasses will really boost your best facial features, while others may make you not like yourself or even worse!

While sunglass styles may change through the years and seasons one thing is important. You want to look and feel great in the sunglasses you choose, no matter the occasion.

With so many styles of sunglasses available to us now more than ever, how do you know which pair is the right fit for your face shape?

The First Step:

Answer this question...what is my face shape and size?

Our face shapes also vary in size, so it’s best to also determine if you have a large, medium or small face as well to get the exact sunglass style that will compliment your features.

Ask a family member or friend, look at pictures of yourself, take a selfie, or look in the mirror. Once you have an idea of what your face shape is it’s time to choose sunglasses that will accent your best facial features.

Below we’ve included images and styles of sunglasses that will compliment each of the above face shapes (heart, round, oval, or square).

Sunglasses for Round Faces

A round face has the following characteristics:

Sometimes the list of characteristics isn’t enough to determine if you have a round face. Below we’ve included people and images that have a round face shape for you to compare.

Women with Round Faces

Men with Round Faces

Since your face is similar in length and width and has softer features, sunglasses with more angles to them will add some definition to your face.

Dark colors and gradients on the frames or lenses will bring down the fullness in your face. Adding in thicker, wider frames will also help since they add width to your face. Note: *Stay away from round sunglasses. 

Here are examples of the best sunglasses for round faces:

To make your best features stand out on your heart face shape get thin, light frames or even clear frames that have larger bottoms halves to create a balance between the upper portion of your face and the width of your chin. Aviators are always a good option here! Bypass darker color sunglasses since they add to the lines in your face more.
