Choosing Perfect Sunglasses for Your Face

Aside from being able to protect your eyes from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, sunglasses are cool and fashionable as they come in all shapes, sizes, and colour.

However, just like selecting clothes that fit your body, when shopping for sunglasses, you need to take note of the shape of your face. Choosing the right pair will balance your face's proportions while selecting the wrong ones may emphasise any imbalance.

If you have a full, wide, round face, you need sunglasses that can help trim down those extra features. Rectangular or square-shaped sunglasses suit this face shape. Cat's eye shaped frames are also cool. Since they are wide at the top but narrow down to the cheek section, they make your face look slimmer.

If you have an angular face with a strong square jaw line, check for thin and lightweight frames to counteract the sharpness of your face's angle. Also, look for oval or round sunglasses since they soften the angles.

In heart-shapes faces, your forehead is much wider than your chin. Therefore you need to select sunglasses that can hide some of your forehead region. Thus, oversized glasses of any shape are perfect for this type of face.

If you are one of those with long faces, try to create some width by choosing sunglasses with wide, thick frames. In addition, opt for round styles since they are more flattering than angular ones. Choose sunglasses with arms that cut straight across the temple to create the illusion of width.

An oval-shape face is the perfect proportion. If you are one of the lucky ones who possess this face shape, you can try just about any frame. Try to match the sunglasses' colour with your hair, skin colour, or clothes. Choose the right sunglasses, and let hearts fall.
