How to choose sunglasses that support your face shape
Share
Face shape and frame
When choosing sunglasses, you should consider both your face shape and frame type. The design of the sunglasses can accentuate your features and create balance in your face. An oval face suits almost all frames, so you can choose both round and angular models. With a round face, sunglasses with sharp lines are recommended, which visually elongate the face. For a square face, round or oval frames can soften the sharp angles, while slightly curved frames are ideal for a heart-shaped face, as they balance a wide forehead and a narrow chin.
Comfort and protection
Sunglasses should fit comfortably. Adjustable nose pads and flexible frames ensure an optimal fit, even during activity. UV protection is also important to shield the eyes from the sun's harmful rays.
Search and try
Test out several models to find the one that best suits your face shape. Try on sunglasses in store or look online to get an overview of the options available.
