Do you know what kind of glasses go well with your face? Or what shape of face you have? I've looked into the matter. I've listed a few points of reference to help you determine your face shape and present you with some suitable sunglasses straight away.

We know the difference between square, heart-shaped, oval and round faces. Find out here what you should look out for when choosing sunglasses that suit you. Each time, on the first line, three models for Her and, on the second, three models for Him.

Square face

The forehead and chin are almost equally wide. Cheekbones are most often prominent. If your face is square, you should choose sunglasses with round or oval lenses. Cat-eye shapes also suit you very well and soften your face. To emphasise softness, opt for temples with beautiful details and intense colours.

Heart-shaped face

As the name suggests, your face resembles a heart, with a wide forehead, prominent cheekbones and a slightly pointed chin. To harmonise this, you need sunglasses that create visual balance. Oval or round lenses suit you particularly well. They make your chin look less pointed. If you don't want to accentuate your broad forehead, you can also choose frameless frames. If, on the other hand, you want to emphasise the shape of your face, you can choose square sunglasses. Avoid sunglasses in the shape of drops or with colour gradients - they draw attention to the chin.

Oval face

Faces with an oval shape look very harmonious and have balanced proportions. The face is higher than it is wide and looks particularly slim.
Suitable sunglasses? All of them! You don't need to break your head looking for sunglasses. Almost any shape will suit you. Round lenses soften the face. Square and original shapes add pizzazz and leave more of a mark on the face. Make sure you don't get glasses that are too big or too small (small glasses make the face look longer).

Round face

Round faces are particularly harmonious. You can't really see an edge. If you have a round face, make sure you choose sunglasses that break up that roundness. You get the best results with rectangular or square models. Very thin or frameless frames are preferable. Aviator sunglasses slim down the face. You should avoid round lenses and small frames, as these accentuate the round shape of the face.

When I'm not busy browsing through heaps of toys, you'll find me enjoying game nights with my friends, conquering mountains on my bike, chasing after the floor hockey ball, travelling the world or enjoying good food.
