Sunglasses are one of my favorite accessories and they are the definition of functional fashion. Not only do they protect your eyes from the sun’s harsh rays, they are a chic way to complete your look. The right pair of sunglasses can exude confidence, but first it is important to find the pair that suits your face shape. Here are some quick tips to figure out what you should be looking for in your perfect sunglasses this summer!

Butterfly Frames

Aviator Frames

#2) Oval Faces

-Slightly narrower at jawline than temples.

-Gently rounded hairline.

 

 

Do: Most Frames work with this shape

Aviators

(Oval, Round, Square)

Don’t: Frames that are too large can overpower your face

 

 

#3) Round Faces:

– Face is as round as it is wide.

Upswept frames

Frames with decorative details/embellished at the temple will pull attention away from chin
