Choosing the right sunglasses means checking out more than ultra-violet protection. It's also important to find a frame shape that flatters your features. Whether your face is oval, round, heart-shaped or square, there's a sunglasses frame to fit.
1 Step
1First, determine your face shape. If you're not sure, stand in front of your bathroom mirror. Tie your hair back or comb it away from your forehead to get a clear view. When you look directly at the mirror, what's the first impression—round, square, oval or rectangular?
2 Step
2Shop to fit your face shape. If your face is round, look for square or rectangular frames. These minimize fullness in the cheeks and bring features into balance.
3 Step
3Choose any trendy style if you have an oval face. Oval faces work with narrow, oversized, aviator or tinted shades easily. Lucky you!
4 Step
4Look for round and oval frames if your face tends to square features (including a square jawline). This will soften your overall look. Stay away from boxy, rectangular frames.
5 Step
5Bring a heart-shaped face (one with a broad forehead and pointed chin) into balance with aviator frames. This style enhances a narrow jaw.
