The Best Sunglasses for Women's Face Shapes

Introduction

Finding the right pair of sunglasses can be a daunting task, but it's essential to find a pair that complements your face shape. Not only will the right pair of sunglasses make you look and feel your best, but they'll also protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Women typically have five different face shapes: round, oval, heart, square and long. Each face shape has its unique characteristics, and certain sunglasses styles will look better on some face shapes than others. In this guide, we'll take a closer look at the best sunglasses for each face shape.

How To Choose The Best Sunglasses For Your Face Shape

Oval Face Shapes

Oval faces are characterised by a slightly rounded chin, a forehead that is slightly wider than the chin, and high cheekbones. The length of an oval face is usually larger than the width. Luckily for those with oval faces, you can pull off most frame styles, but you look particularly good in frames that are slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. This can be a great opportunity to experiment with different frame styles and colours to find the perfect pair for you. Some of our most popular sunglasses amongst those with oval face shapes include:

Heart Shaped Faces

Heart-shaped faces are characterised by a wider forehead and cheekbones, with a narrow chin and jawline. The face typically tapers down to a point at the chin. To balance out a heart-shaped face, look for sunglasses with bottom-heavy frames or cat-eye frames. These styles will help to add fullness to the lower part of your face and create a more balanced appearance.
