Designer Sunglasses for Every Face Shape

Everyone's faces are different. Over time, designers have figured out the perfect formula to make their designer sunglasses look good on certain face shapes. Designers try hard to make at least one design per year for every face shape in their lines. Keep reading to learn which styles are right for you and where to get these shades at discount prices.

Oval faced people are extremely lucky. Just about everything looks good on them. And oval face has nicely balanced features, high cheekbones and a chin that is just a little bit narrower than the forehead. Many designers put their models in classic square frames that have very subtly rounded edges. The hottest trends are oversized aviator sunglasses on oval faces. Metal frames look best with this style, but be sure you match your accessories to the metal you use. You wouldn't want to wear white gold ear rings with gold framed designer glasses.

Round faced people are lucky, as they stay looking young well into middle age. Round faces are full and don't have many protruding angles. The width and length of round faces are about the same. Making the face appear slimmer can be a challenge; you need to find something that makes the face seem longer than it really is. Try wide frames with sharper angles. Rectangular shapes are a good bed. Heavy frames can make eyes seem smaller and closer together, so unless you have very large, wide set eyes stay away from very thick frames.

Diamond face shapes are rarer and tend to have striking faces. The forehead and jaw line are narrower than the cheekbones. The length and width of the face at the widest part are equal. Oval designer sunglasses are very good for diamond face shapes. So are rimless glasses, square or slightly curved frames. Thick rimmed and rectangular frames are very trendy right now and make a diamond shaped face look even lovelier than before.

Square faces have strong, square jaw lines and broad foreheads. The width and length of the face is equal. People with this face shape often appear to be extremely attractive, as they have nice, symmetry to their faces. Oversized oval frames are fantastic for those with square faces. They really make the most of this great face shape without over emphasizing the jaw and making the face appear to be overly angular.

Oblong faces are just like they sound: longer than they are wide. The jaw is usually the widest part of the face. Select a pair of designer shades that make the face look shorter and wider for a more balanced appearance. Both round and square frames are great for this face shape, but not oval or rectangular. Very oversized wrap designs are great because they make the face seem wider and make the wearer look more sophisticated and elegant.

Heart shaped or triangular faces are unusual and are sometimes very striking. Think of Reese Witherspoon. Heart shaped faces have wider jaw lines than foreheads and sometimes pointy chins. Make the lower half of the face seem softer and less angular by showing off the eyes. To do this, select frames that are wider at the bottom than the top and are also darker at the top than bottom. Some sizes of aviator sunglasses are this way, as well as butterfly sunglasses.
