What’s your sunglass style?
May 9th, 2012 by BiancaSummer shades for every face shape.
If you buy anything new this summer, make it a pair of sunglasses. Few items in a summer closet are needed more than a classic pair of shades. However, while sunglasses have their fair share of trends, not every style will suit your face shape.
Check out these stylish shades and the face shapes to match them…
Heart-Shaped (wide forehead and cheekbones; narrow chin)
Complement the gentle curve of your face’s shape with a pair of trendy cat’s-eye glasses.
Steal: Target $16.99; Splurge: Linda Farrow Luxe $575
Oblong (long face; narrow chin and cheeks)
Channel Jackie-O with retro-styled oversized glasses.
Steal: Jeepers Peepers $25.45; Splurge: Yves Saint Lauren $325
Oval (balanced forehead, cheekbones and jaw)
If you’re face is oval then lucky you! Your face shape suits most styles. I’d recommend taking the opportunity to invest in a pair that’s a little more unusual. Try this season’s rounded frame.
Steal: ASOS $21.81; Splurge: Linda Farrow Luxe $740
Square (broad forehead; square jawline)
Off-set a strong angular face with fluid gentle shapes.
Steal: Target $16.99; Splurge: Oliver Peoples $365
Round (full cheekbones; narrow forehead and jaw)
Balance the roundness of your face with slightly squared or pointed shapes.
Steal: Target $16.99; Splurge: Cutler and Gross $475
Finally, while bold colors and prints make for striking accessories, neutrals like browns and blacks are more versatile. Stick to cheap sunglasses for trends and fork out for classic hues and shapes instead.
