Face Shapes and Sunglasses: What's The Perfect Fit For You?

The weather is getting warmer and the sun is up and shining! It's that time of year again to update your rack of sunglasses. Getting a new pair of sunnies might seem like an easy task, but just like any other piece of clothing you have to get something that fits your shape. In this case, it's better to invest in a pair of sunglasses that will properly accentuate your facial shape.

We've rounded up a list of sunglasses that will match a particular face shape. Check it out to find out which pair will suit you best.

Round shape

Ideal pair: oversized, wayfarers

Celebrity match: Sohee, Seohyun

If your face is round shaped, it's best to balance out the roundness with square frames such as wayfarers. Try avoiding wearing sunglasses with small, circular frames as this will tend to make your face look even rounder. Wearing oversized sunnies is also a good choice, but make sure it balances out the roundness of your face and not put even more emphasis on it.

Square shape

Ideal pair: cat-eye, round

Celebrity match: Jun Ji Hyun, Sooyoung

Like the opposite of round faces, square-shaped faces require circular frames to even out the angular lines. This shape works perfectly well round frames and cat-eye glasses. When choosing the right pair, size matters. The wide your face, the larger frames you should get. Everything should be kept in proportion so as to rightly present your facial features.

Heart shape

Ideal pair: aviators, cat-eye, wayfarers

Celebrity match: Sulli, Gu Hara

Heart-shaped faces don't exactly form a heart. Rather, it features more prominent cheeks and a more emphasized chin. This facial shape will work best with aviators, cat-eye, and wayfarers

Oval shape

Ideal pair: any! Try on different shapes and designs.

Celebrity pair: Tiffany, Park Bom

If you have an oval facial shape, you don't have much to worry since most sunglasses designs will compliment your face. You can mix things up, but remember that proportion is key. If your face is smaller, don't go for large frames and vice versa.
