How to Choose Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

The right pair of sunglasses does more than block the sun. It balances your features and pulls an outfit together. Here’s a quick way to find the shape that works for you, plus the styles we’d reach for.

First, find your face shape

Pull your hair back, look straight into a mirror and notice the widest part of your face and the shape of your jawline.

  • Round: soft curves, with cheeks as the widest point.
  • Oval: a little longer than wide, with balanced proportions.
  • Square: a strong jaw, with a forehead and jaw of similar width.
  • Heart: a wider forehead that narrows to the chin.
Quick tip: not sure which shape you are? Trace your reflection on a steamy bathroom mirror with your fingertip. The outline tells you everything.

Round faces: add angles

Frames with straight lines and corners add definition. A structured D-frame like our LuxeFrame logo lens sunglasses works well.

Oval faces: go bold

Lucky you, almost everything works. This is your excuse to try a statement piece, like oversized rhinestone butterfly sunglasses or a rainbow mirror shield.

Square faces: soften the lines

Round and oval frames balance a strong jaw. Our retro gold oval sunglasses are a classic pick.

Heart faces: balance the top

Look for frames that are a little wider at the bottom, or rimless and light styles that don’t add weight at the brow. Rimless butterfly shades are a fun fit.

Quick care tips

  • Store them in a soft pouch so lenses don’t scratch.
  • Clean with a microfiber cloth, not your shirt.
  • Don’t leave them on a hot dashboard.
