Best Sunglasses for Your Face Shape
Which sunglasses suit your face shape? Match round, square, oval and heart-shaped faces with the right frames, with picks from $30 a pair.
The simple rule
Choose a frame that contrasts gently with your face. Angular frames soften a round face, and curved frames soften an angular one. If your face is oval, most shapes work.
Round face
Your face is about as wide as it is long, with soft cheeks. Square and rectangular frames add structure. Try our classic square sunglasses or rimless sunglasses.
Square face
A strong jaw and a broad forehead. Round and oval frames soften the angles. Try our slim oval sunglasses or oversized sunglasses.
Oval face
Balanced proportions, so almost every shape works. Double-bridge and oversized frames are popular choices.
Heart-shaped face
A wider forehead and narrower chin. Light, slim frames balance the top of the face. Try slim ovals or rimless frames.
Check the fit
Your sunglasses should sit comfortably on the bridge of your nose, not pinch at the temples, and the frame should not be wider than your face. Compare the width with a pair you already own.
