A great pair of sunglasses is like a tailored suit—get the right fit, and it elevates everything. Get it wrong, and suddenly, you’re either drowning in oversized lenses or looking like you borrowed them from a child. With so many styles out there, choosing the right pair isn’t just about trends—it’s about what flatters your face. Whether you’re going for timeless elegance or a bold statement, here’s how to find the perfect frames for your features. 

Oval Face – The All-Rounder 
 

Lucky you! An oval face shape suits almost any frame, thanks to its balanced proportions. Whether you lean towards classic aviators, timeless wayfarers, or bold oversized frames, it’s all fair game. Just ensure the size is in proportion to your face—too large, and you risk looking like you raided Elton John’s wardrobe. 

Best picks: Aviators, Wayfarers, round frames, oversized sunglasses. 
Avoid: Frames that are too oversized and throw off facial balance.

Round Face – Adding Angles  

Round faces have soft, curved lines, so the trick is to introduce structure. Opt for angular frames like square or rectangular styles to sharpen your look. Think classic wayfarers or sharp-edged geometric frames to create definition. Stay away from tiny, round frames unless you want to look like a 90s indie film extra. 

Best picks: Wayfarers, square frames, geometric designs. 
Avoid: Small, round frames that exaggerate softness.

Square Face – Soften the Edges  

A square face comes with strong jawlines and defined cheekbones, so rounder frames are your best friend. Oval and circular sunglasses help soften the angles, adding contrast to your features. Thin metal frames or classic John Lennon-style sunglasses work especially well. Avoid overly boxy frames unless you want to double down on the geometry lesson.   

Best picks: Round frames, oval sunglasses, thin metal frames. 
Avoid: Thick, square frames that amplify sharp angles.

Heart-Shaped Face – Balancing Proportions  

A wider forehead and narrower chin mean you need frames that balance out your features. Aviators, clubmasters, or frames with slightly rounded bottoms help create symmetry. Light-coloured frames or rimless styles can also soften the contrast between your forehead and jawline. Overly oversized or top-heavy frames, though, might make your forehead look even broader. 

Best picks: Aviators, clubmasters, light-coloured or rimless frames. 
Avoid: Heavy top frames that widen the forehead further.

Diamond Face – Highlighting the Features 

If you’ve got high cheekbones and a defined jawline, balance is key. Go for oval or cat-eye frames to complement your natural angles. Frameless or semi-rimless sunglasses also work well, keeping the focus on your sharp features without overpowering them. 

Best picks: Cat-eye, oval frames, semi-rimless sunglasses. 
Avoid: Narrow frames that make the face appear longer.
