How to pick the best sunglasses for your face shape

We show you how to pick the best sunglasses for Asian bone structures

Did you know that sunglasses can make you instantly more attractive? An added bonus is the fact that they stave off wrinkles and sun damage that UV rays and squinting can cause! As scientific (and personal) research has shown, everyone looks a whole lot cooler with sunnies on. We’re lucky enough to live in sunny weather all year round (hey, there has to be a plus to the humidity) so purchasing a stylish pair of sunglasses is worth the money.

How to pick the best sunglasses for your face shape
If your face is oblong

Similar to those with a square-faced shape, you’ll want to opt for rounded corners and softer lines. One main thing to note, those with oblong-shaped faces should also avoid smaller frames, and choose those with bigger frames. You know the saying, “the bigger, the better”.

Rounder shapes are perfectly cut to balance your sharper jawline and features. You can also pull off oversized, diva styles (which never fail to make anything look glam) with your photogenic angles.

The reason that sunglasses make everyone look more attractive is that they align our faces to appear more symmetrical. You can give your face shape added sharp structure with rectangular frames that will simultaneously elongate the face. We love this streamlined, geometric pair by Ray-Ban.

Lucky you! You have the face shape which can pull off just about anything. Feel free to experiment as much as you like: cat eyes, zany heart shapes and more streamlined aviators are all possibilities. If you carry a strong brow also (even more lucky) just make sure that the frames don’t cut off before your brow bone, as this isn’t flattering! Try these amazing Oakley Flak 2.0 sunglasses, just because (hair flip) you can:

As you’ve got a gorgeously tapered chin, balance out your best angles by going wide with your choice sunglasses. Big, square frames, popular in the 70s and revived for this season, as well as Grease-inspired 50s Cateye styles work wondrously with your proportions.
