How to Find the Best Sunglasses for You

Oval-Shaped Faces

Just about any style of sunglasses works on an oval-shaped face, especially aviators and wraparounds; says celebrity stylist and ILORI Style Ambassador Jennifer Rade.

Heart-Shaped Faces

Those with a heart-shaped face should opt for more delicate styles, such as wire or oversize plastic frames, that won't draw attention to the forehead. "This design also draws the eye outward and balances well with her face."

Oblong-Shaped Faces

If you have a long, oblong-shaped face, it's best to choose oversize glasses that cover more of the face, breaking up its length. Adding that, "the extra thickness on the sides of the frame helps give the illusion of more facial width."

Round-Shaped Faces

"The angles on these frames are a nice contrast to her rounded jawline and they help to add definition to her face." It's important to look for frames with straight or angular lines that will lengthen and slim the face, and avoid rounded styles that accentuate full cheeks.

Square-Shaped Faces

Those with square-shaped faces should look for rounded frames or circular lenses, both of which will soften the face's angularity. "The classic Ray-Ban aviator is a great choice for an angular face," says Rade. "This style looks best on a person with a strong jawline as that helps to balance the bottom of the frame."
