As a general rule, the shape of the glasses and the shape of the face should not be too similar. In practice, this looks like this:
Angular glasses for a rather round face
Do you have a round face where the cheeks and forehead are roughly the same width and the chin is also round? Then round or oval lenses would make it appear even rounder. That's why women with this face shape should opt for glasses with corners and edges. They not only provide a nice contrast, but also make the face appear narrower.
Round glasses for a square face
An angular face can be recognized by the fact that the forehead, cheeks and chin are roughly the same width. A special feature of this face shape is the pronounced jaw. This can appear somewhat harsh. A simple way to make the face look less severe is to wear glasses with oval or even completely round lenses. We also recommend discreet spectacle frames with metal frames or no frames at all. They make the facial features appear softer. Go for fun nickel glasses or casual aviator glasses, for example.
Oval or round glasses for a heart-shaped face
A face shape in which the narrow, almost pointed chin contrasts with a rather broad forehead and pronounced cheekbones is usually referred to as a heart-shaped face. Aviators would emphasize this face shape unflatteringly and square glasses are also not recommended as they make the face appear very prominent. Instead, opt for round or oval sunglasses, which provide visual balance.
From round to square for an oval face
Do you have an oval face that is about half as wide as it is long? Then congratulations! From round to oval to square - every shape of sunglasses will suit you! Whether cool aviator glasses, round nerd glasses or extravagant glasses with a fifties look: as long as you pay attention to the right size, you can really wear anything.
With these tips, all you really need is plenty of sunshine to make a stylish appearance with your sunglasses. Incidentally, the same rules that apply to sunglasses also apply when choosing prescription glasses.
