A Quick Guide to Choosing the Perfect Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

It doesn’t matter the time of year or what the season is, sunglasses are a crucial part of your day-to-day life. They protect your eyes from the dangers of the sun, they help you see better as you drive during the day, and of course, they are a great fashion accessory. Plus, walking around the city in a stylish pair of shades can give you a nice confidence boost as well!

The thing is, while sunglasses are a great fashion accessory, if you don’t have the perfect glasses for your face shape, your sunglasses will appear as if they don’t fit. One of the ways to avoid this predicament is by having an understanding of your face shape and which glasses fit best.

Oval

If you have an oval-shaped face, you are one of the lucky ones. You pretty much have it made since basically any frame looks great on your face. As someone with an oval-shaped face, your fairly even and gently rounded features allow you to choose from sports sunglasses to designer shades.
