Published 2023-05-09The oval face shape is very similar to the oblong, however there are some details that distinguish the shapes from each other. An oval face is characterised by soft proportions and is thus a face shape that suits most sunglasses models. Therefore, we hit the nail on the head for square frames, pilot frames or wayfarers as these highlight your natural facial features.
Sunglasses that fit: Aviators, Wayfarers and square frames
An oblong face shape, on the other hand, is characterised by high cheekbones and a high forehead. Like the oval face shape, the oblong face shape fits most sunglasses. So do not be afraid to experiment a little. We recommend an oversized model or wide frames. Here we once again recommend the classic aviator frames - for those of you who want to play it safe.
An angular face shape is characterised by a deep forehead, wide chin and sharp cheekbones. Those with an angular face shape, a thinner frame fits well, this to soften the otherwise sharp features somewhat. Oval or round frames are thus the perfect choice.
Sunglasses that fit: Oval frames, round frames and thin framesThe heart-shaped face shape is characterised by a broad forehead, small chin and high cheekbones. To balance the different widths of the face, we suggest a model with sharp frames. A rectangular shape harmonises with the heart shaped face. Aviators are an example of a model that exaggerates the width of the forehead or the narrowness of the chin, therefore a rectangular shape is a the perfect choice for a heart shaped face.
Sunglasses that fit: Rectangular frame
