I wear these daily, super comfortable actually seem like they were made for my face. The quality is comparable to my Oakley's and the service team has been more than helpful.

I’ve had oakleys, spys and heatwaves and these have been some of the best fitting sunglasses I’ve ever had. I’m a firefighter and can be rough on my stuff time to time and these and the other 2 pairs I’ve got have been holding up great.

Determine Your Face Shape for the Right Eyewear

Determine Your Face Shape for the Right Eyewear

We've already discussed how to choose the right sunglasses for your face in a previous blog post. In this article, we'll show you exactly how to determine your face shape so you can confidently rock the perfect pair of glasses or sunglasses.

When it comes to buying eyewear—whether it's sunglasses or prescription frames—it's not just about picking the trendiest style. The right frames should complement your unique face shape, highlighting your best features rather than overshadowing them. In this guide, we'll break down the five main face shapes—oval, round, square, heart-shaped, and diamond-shaped—and explain exactly how to identify which category you fall into. By the end, you'll be ready to choose the ideal eyewear to suit your look and boost your confidence.

Why Face Shape Matters for Eyewear?

Your face shape influences how different frames sit on your nose, highlight your cheekbones, and frame your eyes. Wearing frames that complement your natural proportions can:

Balance your features: The right frames can soften angles or add definition, depending on what your face needs.

Enhance your style: Selecting frames tailored to your face shape can elevate your overall look.

Increase comfort: Correctly fitting frames won't pinch, slip, or feel awkward as you go about your day.

In short, identifying your face shape and choosing the best frames can boost both your appearance and your confidence. Let's explore the different types of face shapes and the steps you can take to determine which category you fall into.

How to Find Your Face Shape

Determining your face shape can be done in a few simple steps. The key measurements are typically the width of your forehead, cheekbones, jawline, and the length of your face. Here are two quick methods to get you started:

Method 1: Use a Tape Measure

Forehead width: Measure across the widest part of your forehead, typically halfway between your hairline and your eyebrows.

Cheekbone width: Place the tape at the outer corner of one eye, wrapping it around the highest point of your cheekbones to the outer corner of the other eye.

Jawline width: Measure from the tip of your chin to just below your ear (where your jaw angles upward). Multiply that number by two.

Face length: Measure from the center of your hairline straight down to the tip of your chin.

Compare your measurements to see which areas are wider or narrower. For instance, if your cheekbones are the widest measurement and your jawline and forehead are narrower, you could be a diamond face shape. If your forehead and jawline measurements are close while your cheekbones are not significantly wider, you might have a square or round face, depending on angles and length.

Method 2: Trace on a Mirror

Pull your hair back to see your entire face clearly.

Stand in front of a mirror in a well-lit room.

Using a dry-erase marker, oil-based pencil, or lipstick, trace the outline of your face on the mirror.

Step back and examine the shape. Does it look more oval, round, square, heart-like, or diamond-like?

This visual trick helps you see the overall outline of your face, making it easier to identify which category you fall into.

Choosing the Right Sunglasses for You

Once you've identified your face shape, shopping for the best sunglasses for your face becomes much more straightforward. Keep these tips in mind:

Balance angles and curves: Opposing shapes tend to complement each other. Round faces look great with angular frames, while square faces benefit from softer, round frames.

Consider frame proportions: Oversized frames on a very small face can be overwhelming; similarly, tiny frames might look out of place on a larger face. Find a size that aligns with your proportions.

Don't be afraid to experiment: These guidelines are just that—guidelines. If you feel confident in a certain type of frame, wear them!

What you should leave with

Understanding how to determine your face shape is the first step in finding sunglasses that highlight your best features. By using simple measurements or a mirror outline, you can quickly identify whether you have an oval, round, square, heart-shaped, or diamond-shaped face. And once you know, you'll be equipped to zero in on the right sunglasses that are both stylish and flattering.

Remember, these tips are meant to guide you, not confine you. Sunglasses are a fun way to express your personality, so don't be afraid to break the rules if something truly speaks to your style.
