This guide breaks down how to choose sunglasses that truly suit your face shape, from RayBan classics to D’YAVOL X Eyewear. It explains why the right frame can transform your look, then offers clear tips for oval, square, round, oblong and heart-shaped faces, helping men move beyond copying celebrities and find frames that flatter their own features.
Finding the right pair of sunglasses according to style experts is what they call "simple". However, for men who often stick with what they know, this might may not seem atypical.
It is also because, what you like seeing on their favourite footballer or cricketers may not be what suits you the best. And the variety of sunglasses and their shapes can frankly feel like an taxing job. So picking what you know and sticking to your lane is the rite of passage.
What if we told you picking the right frame isn't all rocket-science but is essential as your entire look could feel off if they don’t actually suit your face?
Here's a simple guide on best sunglasses to own based on your face shape
Most sunglasses whatever their shape be, suit an oval face. But the trick to make it look like you're that A-lister who needs to save himself from paparazzi flashes is by choosing a frame size that's not wider than your face. Slightly oversized and rounded shapes would be the best choice.
What does a square face even mean? Definitely doesn't mean you look like a box, my guy! It means you've been blessed with some strong facial features and a well-defined jaw frame. So, to compliment that, you need thin frame lines on your sunglasses, and more frames that have rounded corners that structured ones. Not that difficult is it?
Picking a rounded frame for a round face will not be the most optimised way to flaunt your face card. Instead, go for more angular or square frames.
If your face is more elongated than round, you have an oblong face. Your next pick should be something that ignores any sunglasses that are too small or too angular and counteract that long silhouette.
Hey man, pick a style of sunglasses that will soften your features and compliment a square jaw and a shape where your jawline, cheekbones, and forehead are fairly even.
