Sunglasses do more than protecting the eyes from sunlight and
flashlight from paparazzi photographers. Sunglasses are a must-have
fashion accessory. Wearing sunglasses is an old age fashion hack that
can make you look instantly stylish.
Sunglasses can instantly revamp an entire look.
Below is guide to picking the perfect sunglasses for your face shape.
Sunglasses for round face: If you have a round face, your aim should
be to make your face appear visibly longer. Therefore, you should opt
for glasses with dark frames as much as you can. If you have darker
skin or hair, you can pull off darker coloured and more rectangular
sunglasses. If you have lighter skin or hair, stick to browns and
yellows with a slight curve to them. Dark ones will over power you.
The perfect type of sunglasses for women with round face are aviators,
wayfarers, cat eye glasses, rectangular and square glasses.
Triangular face shape: You have a triangular face if your chin is
pointed or defined. Check the width of your forehead compared to your
chin. If your forehead is wider, then you have a triangular face. Opt
for rectangular sunglasses that balance out the chin to forehead
ratio. If you have smaller features, stick with smaller lenses. But if
you have more prominent features (or a beard) you can pull off larger
lenses. Glasses that work best for triangular face shape are frame
less glasses, cat eye glasses, aviators and round glasses.
Rectangular face shape: Opt for massive looking glasses with slender
frames and transparent lenses.
Oval face: An oval shaped face looks great with glasses because it
enhances its natural beauty. Balanced proportions, high cheek bones
and a slightly narrow chin are its main qualities. Avoid frames extra
large frames for your face and cover up more than half of it. A pair
that covers up too much of your face will be overwhelming. When
choosing glasses for oval face shapes you also want to remember
colour. Colours that match with your eyes and hair are going to look
the best and will get you the most compliments. While brown eyes look
best when sticking to tones of similar colours blue and green eyes
will pop against the darker browns and earthy shades. Suitable
sunglasses for oval face shape include glasses with smooth-lined
frames: rectangular, oval, round. “Butterfly“ glasses. ”Aviators.“ and
“Cat’s eyes” glasses.
