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.
