How to choose sunglasses according to your face shape

Regardless of your style, we recommend you pick a pair of sunglasses that suit your face shape.  A pair of well-chosen sunglasses can notably enhance your beauty. We’re going to give you some tips, so you can experiment and end up with the best option.

    • ROUND FACE: If you have a round face, with soft shapes and barely defined angles, we advise you to add more structure to your face by opting for sunglasses with rectangular or square frames. You will create a fascinating contrast.
    • OVAL FACE: This is a very balanced face shape, so you will suit almost any type of frame. Experiment with different shapes and try to find the perfect size for your face.

  • SQUARE FACE: Does your face have well-defined angles? Are your jaw and forehead of a similar width? Then you have a square face. If you want to soften the strong angles of your face, try sunglasses with square frames.
  • ELONGATED FACE: If your face is elongated, and you would prefer to conceal it, we advise you to choose sunglasses that add width. Large, aviator-style frames will visually shorten your face. If you choose frames that are too narrow, you will accentuate the length of your face.

Choose the color of your sunglasses

The color of your sunglasses depends on two main factors: your skin tone and the color of your outfit. Let’s start with your skin tone:

  • WARM SKIN TONES: If your skin has golden hues, we recommend picking sunglasses with frames in earth tones and warm colors like brown, beige, and olive green which will be a charming complement to your complexion. You can’t go wrong with tortoiseshell glasses!
  • COOL SKIN TONES: Is your skin tone cooler, with pinkish or bluish hues? In that case, the colors that will harmonize with your face best will be black, gray, silver, and blue.

But let’s not forget the color of your outfit when it comes to choosing sunglasses:

  • VERSATILE COLORS: We’d love to be able to choose a different pair of sunglasses to match our outfit every day. But as that’s practically impossible, we can go for some sunglasses in versatile colors that easily adapt to different colored outfits. Sunglasses in neutral colors are ideal for combining with a wide range of outfits: black, white, beige, and gray. In addition, these colors are extremely elegant.
  • COLORS WITH A MESSAGE Would you prefer your sunglasses to be the focus of your outfit? Then choose strong and meaningful colors. Red sunglasses convey passion and energy, while blue ones convey calm and serenity. Green sunglasses are synonymous with balance and coolness. 

Sunglasses style

It is important to tailor sunglasses to your personal style and your outfit. Learn to complete your outfit with the perfect accessory that will protect your eyes from the sun.

ELEGANT STYLE: Do you like to dress elegantly and formally? Try sunglasses with frames in silver or gold tones. They are the most classic ones that go perfectly with suits and elegant dresses. If you want them to stand out more, select some with luxury details like incrustations of precious stones.

SPORTY STYLE: Are you more into sporty and casual clothing? Then choose frames that reflect your style with small details such as arms with logos of sports brands and rubber coatings. But if you also play sports regularly, ensure the frame is lightweight and fits securely.

MODERN STYLE: Do you always like to follow the latest fashion? Look for sunglasses in striking colors and with details that will ensure all eyes are on you. In addition, experiment with frames with unusual geometric shapes, such as hexagonal or octagonal, they will add a cutting-edge look.

Practical tips for choosing your sunglasses

Don’t forget it isn’t just about styles. In addition to enhancing your outfit, sunglasses should also protect your eyes. 

UV PROTECTION: Make sure the sunglasses you pick offer suitable protection from UV rays to protect your eyes from potential damage.

QUALITY OF THE SUNGLASSES: Don’t buy your sunglasses from just anywhere. Make sure you are buying quality sunglasses. Our eyes are truly valuable. Also, invest in good quality sunglasses. There is no point buying sunglasses that scratch easily or break after a few days.

COMFORT: It doesn’t matter how fashionable your sunglasses are, if they aren’t comfortable to wear, look for another model. They should fit well to your ears and nose, they shouldn’t be tight or fall off with minimum movement.
