Stylish Sunglasses For Every Face Shape


Not everyone has the same face shape, and there are many types of sunglasses.

Below, I have created a "guide" to stylish sunglasses for every face shape.


Square Faces:


If you have a square face like Paris Hilton (above left), look for oval and round frames that elongate the face. Butterfly shaped glasses (above right) are also a good choice.

Other famous square faces: Demi Moore, Sandra Bullock

What to AVOID:

-Geometric and square shaped frames b/c they accentuate angles of the face.


Round Faces:



If you have a round face, you can make it look longer and thinner with angled cat-eye frames like Kate Hudson's (above left). Angular and geometric frames, like Ray-Ban Wayfarers, help sharpen facial features. Therefore, a square or rectangular frame like Christina Ricci's (above right) will also compliment your face shape.

Another famous round face: Cameron Diaz

What to AVOID:

-Round frames b/c they make your face look rounder.
-Large frames b/c they shorten your face.


Heart-Shaped Faces:


If you have a heart-shaped face, you will be happy to hear that you have a larger range of sunglasses to choose from than squared and round faces. I think aviators are especially a good choice because narrow, round frames soften the forehead. As you can see, the heart-shaped faces of Reese Witherspoon (above left) and Jennifer Aniston (above right) benefit from the low-set temples that draw attention downward.

Another famous heart-shaped face: Halle Berry

What to AVOID:

-Top-heavy styles that draw attention upward.
-Decorative temples that emphasize the broad upper face.


Oval Faces:


You are very lucky! Just about any style of sunglasses works on an oval face, especially wraparounds (above left). Ray-Ban Wayfarers as seen on Beyonce (above right), also work great because its geometric shape add angles to soft curves. Aviators and square, rectangular shapes also compliment an oval face.

Another famous oval face: Julia Roberts

What to AVOID:

-Frames that are too large for your features.
