Sunglasses for Round Faces

Well, hello gorgeous! You have a round shaped face like the beautiful Steph above! As far as sunglasses go, angles are your friend!

Sunglasses for Square Faces

Girlfriend, you have a square face — join the party! [I do too!] To provide contrast to the angles of your jawline, you will want to opt for sunnies with softer, rounded edges. You can rock the heck out of round sunglasses, aviators, or a cute pair of cat eyes, like the ones my girl Cassidy is wearing above! Check out all our other suggestions for your square shaped face below!

Sunglasses for Heart Faces

Well, aren’t you cute? You have a heart shaped face, just like Erin! To compliment your face shape, choose frames that are wider at the top than they are at the bottom. Cat eye, retro square or aviators [like the ones Erin is wearing above] will look great on you! Check out a selection of other sunglasses that are best for heart shaped faces in the round up below!

Knowing how to style your face shape is a handy trick to have up your sleeve! Hopefully now that you’re in the know, shopping for sunglasses will be so much easier! Looks like the sun is finally peeking out, throw on your new pair of shades and enjoy the sunshine!
