Triangle Shape: Your facial features mapped out like a narrow top of the face and a strong wide chin and cheeks.

Stay away from bold colors like red or green sunglasses which can maximize the features you’re hoping to minimize.

Heart Shape: Facial features include a wide forehead and a long, narrow chin. Create balance with your sunglasses by selecting glasses that widen out the rest of the rest of the face. Frames that sit low on the temples are a great choice. Dabble with color to draw attention to the top of your face. Sunglasses in blue for example will create interest in the top half of the face.

Round Shape: Faces that are full without much cheekbone or jaw definition. You should find styles that appear to lengthen and slim your face. Choose styles that have straight lines like square or rectangular frames. Dark sunglass frames such as black and brown add dimension to round faces.

Diamond Shape: You have a small forehead, high cheekbones, narrow eyes and a narrow jaw. Look for glasses that aim to widen your forehead while downplaying your cheekbones and opt for rounded, straight or square frames.

Whatever your face’s shape, play up your best assets with shades that complement your facial features and your style. Experiment with a variety of colors and looks until you find just the right pair of sunglasses
