Best sunglasses for your face shape. Welcome to my best posts of 2014! It has been a great year and I’d like to extend a personal thank you to all of my readers for all of your continued support. This week I will be featuring some of my most successful posts of the year. So if you are new to Style On The Side or have missed some of them then I welcome you to catch up this week!
Sunnies are one of my favourite accessories. Not only do they protect our eyes from the sun, but they can also transform even the simplest of outfits. They can be glamorous, casual or even sporty chic. As with any accessory, the best fit comes down to proportions. Are you looking to streamline a wider forehead or perhaps soften an angular jawline? Whichever pair your choose, there is a style for everyone.
BEST SUNGLASSES FOR YOUR FACE SHAPE
Heart. If you have a narrow jaw with a wider forehead and high cheekbones, then you most likely have a heart shaped face. You can reach for a fabulous pair of cats-eye sunnies or any rounded style. Both of these add width to the bottom of your face, balancing it out. A super chic pair of aviators will always look great.
Round. If your jaw-line and forehead are proportionate, then it is likely that you have a round shaped face. Look for angular sunnies. Uber cool Wayfarer’s were made for you. You can also opt for an over-sized pair for an extra glamorous look.
Square. A defined jawline and a broad forehead signify a square face shape. Elegant and stylish, think Angelina Jolie, round shapes are your sunglasses of choice.
Oval. Those with an oval shaped face are lucky as they can generally pull off most frame styles. Take a moment to experiment with the latest trends and you just might find the perfect frame for you.
Whichever pair you choose, remember to look for sunglasses which protect your eyes from both UVB and UVA rays. Although they are a great accessory, they also serve a very real purpose. What I love most about sunnies is that they provide some mystery, as the lenses often display a reflection of the wearer’s surroundings, rather than a glimpse into their eyes.

This is such a great post! I have such a weird face shape… its’s kind of like the middle row right column, and I look best in cat eyes or huge round sunglasses. I can’t carry small ones.
Overall though this was super informative and helpful though, thank you.

“Sunnies” I like that! Funny I usually just keep trying on without thinking of my face shape! I lose sunglasses a lot but just invested in some expensive ones that I think fit my face shape lol
Ha! I love the word sunnies…. I find that while some look amazing on my face others are decidedly less so. I think my face shape has a lot to do with that.
