Tip #1: Know Your Face Shape
Identifying your face shape is crucial in selecting sunglasses that flatter your features:
Round Faces: You can look for frames that introduce angles, such as square or rectangular shapes. They provide contrast to your face contour and highlight your features. Check out some examples from Yalea and Police that are ideal for round faces.
Square Faces: Consider soften a strong jawline with round or oval sunglasses, adding a touch of curve to your look. See below some excellent examples from Furla and Porsche.
Heart-Shaped Faces: Go for frames wider at the top than the bottom, like cat-eye styles or wayfarers. They will complement your face contour and draw attention to areas around your eyes. Check out below some fabulous examples from Furla and Police.
Diamond Faces: The key to pick sunglasses for Diamond Face is to accentuate your cheekbones with frames that have detailing on the brow line. See some stunning selections. from Escada and Porsche.
Oblong Faces: Large frames with high-set arms can help reduce the appearance of your face length and complement your draw line. Check out the fantastic examples from Furla and Police.
Oval Faces: You’re lucky – most styles will suit you! Feel free to experiment with various styles.
Tip #2: Size Matters
- Fashion: Ensure your frame size is proportional to your face. Incorrect sizing can disrupt facial harmony.
- Protection: Choose a size that offers ample coverage for the delicate skin around your eyes, protecting against sun damage.
- Prescription: If you need prescription sunglasses, ensure the size is suitable. Our team can guide you to the best choices for your prescription.

- Nose Shape: Select a bridge style that suits your nose. Adjustable nose pads are great for smaller noses, while high bridges suit larger noses. Trying them on is key for the perfect fit.
- Finishing Touch: Factor in your skin tone, hair colour, and personal style. The right colour can enhance your complexion, while the perfect style can highlight your fashion sense. There is no one general guideline that works for everyone when it comes to the colours. The most important factor here is your preference.
