Faces in Sunglasses: From Shapes to the Perfect Style

Maybe this time’s the right time to think that women’s sunglasses could have been after all every woman’s best friend rather than what Marilyn Monroe said about diamonds and Sarah Jessica Parker’s version with her Manolos. We always hang on to our sunglasses when we wake up with blood-shot eyes or with dark, hideous circles around them or we just feel ugly and depressed for the day. Surely, there were always occasions when we couldn’t spruce up our drab outfit, and we see our chic and sparkling pair holding out hope for us. And all the while, perhaps we thought it’s okay to grab any sunglass style because we’re beauties and things are made to simply fit no matter how. The matter is we get different face shapes and every style actually works accordingly.

It’s more advantageous for your beautification agenda if you know what your face shape is, if it’s round, oval, oblong, heart-shape, diamond or square. Having round shape face like Kate Winslet would suggest wearing rectangular sunglasses with angular and geometric frames because they make your face look longer and thinner instead of the full cheeks and round chin. Oval shape on the other hand is characterized by a balanced proportion save for the chin which is usually narrower than the cheekbones and forehead. Fortunately, most of sunglass styles go well with this shape just in the case of Julia Roberts who wears just any style under the sun. As for oblong shape face which can be seen as with more length than it is wide and usually has high cheekbones and tall forehead like the face of Angelina Jolie. This type can always suit the sunglasses that have round or square frames which are tall and broad but not wider than the face.

While broad forehead with wide cheeks that narrow on chin characterizes the heart-shaped face as in the case of Avril Lavigne. It’s recommended to wear sunglasses that have low-set temples to bring the attention to the narrow chin. Frames with thick or heavy base also do the work in giving extra width to the face’s bottom half. Diamond shape on the other hand may seem quite similar except that both the forehead and chin are narrower while the cheeks remain to be the widest part. Nicole Kidman boasts this shape and she pulls off sunglasses with cat eye, oval or rimless styles. Next is the square shape as apparent with Fergie’s face exemplified by broad forehead, square chin and a strong jaw line. This type suggests wearing oval and round-shape sunglasses with thinner frames like aviators, oversized and the like to add curves and soften the strong features.

Now that some things are pretty clear, it would only be yourself who can really decide what’s best after all. Wholesale women’s sunglasses anyway are always at hand and ready to help you choose the best style to ultimately flatter and spice up that pretty face.
