Find Your Perfect Match!
Here comes the sun… we’re only a few days away from summer (our favourite season), a time when sunglasses increasingly become everyday wear.
So before you invest in a pair of designer sunglasses we’re here to make sure you select the best shades for your face shape. Pick a frame shape that complements your features, face shape and style.
Disclaimer: This is just a guide, regardless of which sunglasses you pick you’re bound to still look fabulous!
Round
A round face shape is as wide as it is long, so oversized shades will make your face appear smaller.
Round faces tend to have less defined angles and noticeable curves, we recommend rectangular frames for a slimmer and sharper balance whilst adding definition to your round features. Avoid wearing Wayfarer shades, Brow-line sunglasses or anything too small – it’s important to choose a shape that complements your face shape.

Oval
Oval face shapes are similar to round face shapes; however, they are gently longer and less wide. Oval faces have fairly even features and the most flexibility when choosing sunglasses.
Most frame shapes will work well, especially sunglasses with a brow bar as they create definition and contrast. Throw shade in a pair of Cat Eye sunglasses to help highlight those cheekbones.

Square
Square face shapes tend to have an even width and length. If you have a square face shape soften your features with curved frames to draw attention upwards. Opt for oval shades or oversized frames. Vacay mode – activated!

Heart
Widest at the temples and narrowest at the chin, the best sunglasses for heart-shaped faces are Aviator shades. The sloping silhouette of Aviator frames seamlessly contrasts and flatters your V-shaped chin whilst broadening your jawline.
