Oval Shaped Face
Those with an oval shaped face:
- Are the most common face shape and most styles of sunglasses work alright
- You have high cheekbones and chins
- Choose sunglasses that work along the lines of your eyebrows for the most dramatic results
Round Face
For those with a more rounded shaped face:
- You have a full face without a lot of definition in your cheeks or your jaw line
- Choose sunglasses that will lengthen your face and slim it
- Don't use round frames as it will only place more focus on the round face
- Straight line shapes work best
- Use color to give your face more definition
Triangle Shaped Face
For those with a triangle shaped face:
