Face shapes: an easy guide to buy sunglasses online.

Have you ever wondered how to choose a pair of sunglasses based on your facial shape?

When it comes to frames, it is important to make the right choice: a good pair of sunglasses can really make the difference.

Sunglasses are not only a matter of style but also…of SHAPE!

Here you will find a practical guide to understand which is your facial face and which is the perfect fit model for you to buy sunglasses online.

BEFORE YOU BUY SUNGLASSES ONLINE:

The first thing to know is that there are different face shapes and all of them are equally beautiful. Every person has unique face features and knowing them can help you to choose the next pair of sunglasses. To find out which is your face shape you need to look at yourself in the mirror giving particular attention to the proportions of your face. Focus on the dimension of your forehead, cheekbones and jawline. 

Remember that the shape of your frames should contrast the shape of your face in order to harmonize the proportions of your visage.

TIPS FOR ROUND FACE SHAPE

The length of the face is essentially the same size as the width. The jawline and cheeks are rounded. Round face shapes usually are widest across the cheekbones and narrower along the forehead and the jawline.

This shape is characterized by less defined angles therefore we suggest to avoid rounded models and choose a style that will help to make your face look thinner and sharper. If you are looking to buy sunglasses online, we suggest these Dior  square shape model that will fit good with the shape of your face.

TIPS FOR OBLONG FACE SHAPE

This shape is 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. We suggest rounded and oversized models, or rectangular ones, such as this pair of Matsuda.  

TIPS FOR HEART FACE SHAPE (or triangle face shape)

This shape 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. We suggest cat-eye shapes. 

TIPS FOR SQUARE FACE SHAPE

This shape is characterized by a well-defined jawline, broad forehead and minimal cheekbones. Square faces, like the round ones, are long as they are wide.

We suggest to avoid geometric shapes and to choose a model that will round out the sharpness of your face, such as the aviator.

TIPS FOR OVAL FACE SHAPE

 Last but not least we have a face shape with classic proportion that can go basically with every style of sunglasses. The oval face is longer than it is wide and the cheekbones are the widest part of the face. You can really wear plenty of different models but today we suggest you these stunning wayfarer sunglasses designed by Fendi.
