Face shapes: Eyewear for oblong, square and heart shaped faces.

Eyewear for oblong, square and heart face shapes

We’ve already introduced you to the world of face shapes in our article:  Face shapes, an easy guide to buy sunglasses online. In another previous article we presented the best suitable eyewear shapes for people who have round face shape and oval face shape. In our website Optifashion.com you can shop by face shape using our filter “best suited for”.

In addition, if you want to find out more about Off White, a brand that we have recently introduced to our shop, we invite you to read our latest article.

This week we are going to speak about other three face shapes: oblong, square and heart.

Once you have figured out which is your face shape you will be ready to find out the best models for you.

  Glasses and sunglasses for oblong face shape

 As we said in our face shape guide, oblong shapes are characterized by a thin and elongated face. The oblong face develops in length therefore the sunglasses should be large and tall. For this reason, when it comes to buy sunglasses online you should avoid small frames that can make your face look longer. People with oblong face look good with these shapes of glasses:

• Rounded models such as this one designed by Cutler and Gross.
• Oversized models such as this one designed by Dior and this pair by Dior.
• Rectangular models, such as this one designed by Fendi.

Glasses and sunglasses for square face shapes

In our face shape guide we explained that square faces are characterized by a well-defined jawline, broad forehead and minimal cheekbones. Square faces, like the round ones, are long as they are wide. For this reason, we suggest to avoid geometric shapes and to choose a model that will round out the sharpness of your face. Here there are some good choices for those who have a square face shape:

• Aviator, such as this model by CR7 or these frames designed by Carrera.
• Round shape, such as this model by Matsuda.
• Oval shape such as this model by Carrera. 

Glasses and sunglasses for heart face shapes

The heart shape, also called triangle, is widest at the temples and narrowest at the chin. The forehead is broader at the top and the jawline is more pointed at the bottom. If you have a heart shape face, you may look for a pair of sunglasses that accentuate your high cheekbones. The best frames for heart-shaped faces are:

• Cat-eye, such as this discounted model designed by Fendi and this pair by Gucci.
• Rectangular, such as this model by Dior.
• Wayfarer, such as this pair designed by Hugo Boss.

Just one pair is not enough? Don’t worry, in our shop online there currently are discounts in selected items and you will find many different models designed by luxury and independent brands.
