Yeah, you’re probably doing it wrong, so Mawu has put together a quick guide to help you find the perfect sunglasses for your face shape.
You might not have known, but there are frame shapes that can enhance your best facial features – and if you don’t have any good facial features, the right shades are likely to improve them anyway.
So, how do you know which shades are right for you? Well you’ll need to figure out whether your face shape is heart, round, oval, or square. We recommend asking someone, looking in the mirror, or taking a selfie (don’t post it asking your followers – nobody really cares).
Once you’ve found your face shape, then you can choose sunglasses that will complement your features.
We’ve made the process easier, you’re welcome:
Face Shape: Heart
If you have a heart shaped face, your narrowest point is at the jawline. Pretty much any frames that are wider on top than they are on the bottom will work well for you.
Guys
- Browline - like the Cannes range
- Retro Square – like the Hendaye range
Girls
- Browline - like the Tropez rage
- Retro Square – like the Serene range
Face Shape: Round
A rounded face is widest across the cheekbones and more narrow at the forehead and jawline. Oversized, rectangular, and angular frames balance roundness.
Guys
- Aviator - like the Rafale range
- Retro Square - like the Hendaye range
- Square – like the Corsica range
Girls
- Oversized – like the Julie range
- Square – like the Maiao range
Face Shape: Oval
The most versatile face is the oval face shape, which is longer than it is wide. Oval face people can pull off both round and square frames. Don’t go too big or too small – keep proportion in mind.
Guys
- Aviator - like the Rafale range
- Retro Square - like the Hendaye range
- Round – like the Mare range
Girls
- Aviator - like the Rafale range
- Retro Square – like the Serene range
- Oversized – like the Julie range
Face Shape: Square
With a strong jaw, wider forehead and cheeckbones – you want to soften the features. Go for shades with soft lines or simless edges.
Guys
- Aviator - like the Rafale range
- Browline - like the Cannes range
- Round – Like the Monte Carlo range
Girls
- Aviator - like the Rafale range
- Browline – like the Tropez range
- Round – like the Monte Carlo range
Now that you know your face shape and the best sunglasses shapes for you, there’s no excuse not to look more attractive.
