Sunglass Fit Guide

Fitting Guide
Choosing the right frame and color

The appropriate size for sunglasses and eyeglass frames should be proportionate with the face size, which means that smaller eyeglasses frames and sunglasses are the best for smaller faces while larger eyewear look better on larger faces.  The frame shape should contrast the shape of the face (rectangle frame with a round face).  These tips are not rules, but they can assist you in choosing the best frame for every face.

FACE SHAPES:

The Round Face:

This face type should look for frames equal to or slightly wider then the broadest part of the face. To make the face appear longer and thinner, you may minimize the curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular styles or double brow styles. To create a longer profile try frames with higher temples. Sunglasses with brow bars also pull the eye upward, making the face appear longer.

Suggested Frames: Wider frames with angular / rectangular styles
The Triangular Face:

Triangular shape faces usually have a narrow jaw and wide forehead.  The lower portion of the face can be softened by accenting the eye area.  Styles such as cat eyes should angle outward at the top corner and be wide enough to balance the jaw line.  We recommend trying metal frames with rimless

The Oval Face:

Any style works for persons with an oval shape. Try with the latest looks such as wraparounds or shields. Also sqaure shaped frames with gently rounded edges and higher temples also look fabulous on an oval face.

The Square Face:

This face shape has a B jaw line, a broad forehead and wide cheekbones. Soft curvy styles will reduce the angles of your face and give you more definition such a cat eyes. We recommend classic ovals for the the face type/shape.

The Diamond Face:

This face shapes consists of wide or high cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin. To soften the contour of the face we recommend oval sunglasses. Another fit that will work well with this face is a soft curves square frame. The styles should be no wider than the top of the cheekbones

The Oblong Face:

You may widen and shorten the face with sunglass styles that do not go beyond the widest part of the face.  This face type looks better with round or square shapes.  Frames with short horizontal and long vertical lines will also fit well.  Adding decorative or contrasting templates will make the face look wider.

SKIN TONE

Pale Complexions

We recommend trying lightweight frames like those with a touch of color such as a rose or amber.  Tortoiseshell frames look great on persons with fair complexions (avoid darker versions) but clear, blue or green tinged frames may drain color from cheeks.

Dark Complexions 


Olive Mediterranean, Golden or Asian skin and dark hair look stunning in silver, gold or clear frames.  Avoid black, which can be too heavy for your complexion.   

 

Choosing The Right Pair Of Sunglasses To Fit Your Face Shape And Your Sense Of Style

While oversized sunglasses are all the rage these days, there are a wide variety of shapes, sizes and styles to choose from. Choosing the right size and shape for your face will help you put across the best image. With that in mind, here’s a rough guide to help you choose the right pair.

The Proportion Principle

The rule of thumb is simple: people with smaller faces should choose smaller designer sunglasses, while people with larger faces should choose sunglasses with larger frames. Fine artists pay attention to the principle of proportion when creating their works of art; choosing sunglasses that are appropriate for your facial size and shape, you become a work of art!

Contrast

Another artistic principle is the concept of contrast. If you have a round face, sunglasses with rectangular frames make a nice counterpoint. Sunglasses with rounder frames may offset a longer, rectangular face. If you wear lipstick or rouge, you need to consider if  your sunglass frames compliment these. Anything goes, and rules were meant to be broken. Have fun finding a pair that creates the image you want to put across.

NOSE SIZE.

Follow these tips below if you have a large, long, or small nose.

Large Nose

A large nose will shrink when adorned with large, oversize frames. Avoid small frames that accentuate your nose. And since oversized (Women Specific) frames are so "in" right now, it will be easy to find the perfect pair!

Long Nose

Try out a pair of frames that have high sidebars, drawing attention upward toward the temples and away from the nose.

Tip: A double bridge or low bridges help a nose appear shorter.

Small Nose

A high bridge in a light color will lengthen your nose and also give a nose that is small in proportion to the rest of the face, a bigger presence. Don't be scared to try oversized (Women Specific) frames - think celebrities with cute noses hiding behind oversized glasses!
