A year-round staple, and as sure to make you feel instantly cooler and more confident as they are to protect your peepers, a good pair of sunglasses are an absolute must.
How do you pick a pair of sunglasses to suit your face shape?
On the one hand, of course, fashion rules are a nonsense best ignored, and you should wear whatever sunglasses you find the most fabulous.
On the other - there’s no denying some frames look better than others. If you’re wondering what might work for your face shape, there are a few handy rules that can work in your favour.
If you have a heart-shaped face (a wide forehead and cheekbones, a narrow chin)
Try: Cat-eye, round.
Avoid: Overly embellished glasses
If you have a rectangular face (a long face with narrow chin and cheeks)
Try: Oversize, wrap styles.
Avoid: Narrow frames
If you have an oval face (balanced forehead, cheekbones and jaw)
Try: Any shape you like, really. You lucky thing.
If you have a square face (a broad forehead and square jaw)
Try: Round, oval, cat-eye
Avoid: Sharp, geometric shapes.
If you have a round face (that’s full cheekbones; narrow forehead and jaw)
Try: Wide, rectangular frames.
Avoid: Round frames or coloured lenses.
As well as being super stylish, however, it’s important to wear glasses which protect your eyes.
