THE FOUR BASIC SHAPES ARE

ROUND, HEART, OVAL AND SQUARE

ROUND
SHAPE FACE

Frames that are slightly wider than the broadest part of your face create the illusion of slimmer cheeks. Compliment your facial shape with sunglasses that have large frames in a square or rectangle shape and broad embellished arms.

HEART
SHAPE FACE

Choose sunglasses which angle outwards towards the top corner to widen your face and balance your pointed jaw line. Retro sunglasses such as the cat eye and rectangle shape suit you best. Sunglasses with colourful arms help to soften the lower portion of your face by accentuating the eye area. Wrap around frames also work well.

OVAL
SHAPE FACE

Consider yourself blessed and truly envied as pretty much every style suits you. You can go wild and experiment with the latest trends such as the oversized sunglasses sported on many celebrities, cat-eyed frames and the infamous aviators; however stay away from frames that are too small as this will make your face look unbalanced. Square and rectangular frames add contrast to the curved lines of the oval face.

SQUARE
SHAPE FACE

A square shape face is defined by a deep forehead, wide jaw line and square chin. Go for round or oval frames that are narrow in width as this will make a square face appear longer and it also helps soften the angles. Stay away from square framed styles as this will achieve the opposite effect putting emphasis on your chin.
