Here’s How to Find the Right Kind of Sunglasses for Every Face Shape

Choose the one that’s perfect for your face. 

Finding the right pair of sunglasses can be quite difficult. Aside from the many options to choose from, it pays to also figure out what type of frame or lens is best suited for an individual’s face shape.

Eyewear fashion brand, i2i Philippines is celebrating their 23rd birthday with an exclusive sale on Shopee.

Here’s a guide for the ideal eyewear for every face shape:

Square

People with square faces have a stronger, and more angular jawline with very minimal curves; their forehead, jaw, and cheekbones have the same width.

The best frames for this face shape:

Round and Oval
Helps soften the angular features

Try: i2i New York’s Carrie

Round

Those with round faces are almost similar to square-faced people, only, they have softer angles. People with a round face have slightly outward-curved sides; a rounded chin; and their cheekbones are the widest part of their face.

The best frames for this face shape:

Rectangular
Helps break the face structure, making it longer and thinner.

Angular or Geometric
Adds distinct lines to create a balance on the face.

Try: i2i New York’s Bryce

Heart

People with a heart-shaped face typically have a larger, wider forehead and a slender jawline. Their forehead and cheekbones are the widest parts of their face.

The best frame for this face shape:

Winged-out with Round Bases
Balances and complements the shape of the face

Frames with low-set Temples
Helps draw attention to the lower part of the face instead of the forehead.

Try: i2i New York’s Nicole

Triangular

Those with a triangular face have a narrow forehead and temple area. Their cheekbones are flat and not prominent enough and have a squarish chin. They can either have an angular jaw like those with a square face or have a softer jaw like round-faced people.

The best frame for this face shape:

Aviator
Gives a contrasting effect as the top frame has a round and angular shape.

Cat-Eyes
Highlights the upper part of the face with a frame with bold details on top.

Try:i2i New York’s Ashburn

Oval

People with oval-shaped faces have a rounded jaw and forehead; and the sides of the face are slightly curved. Their faces are somewhat longer and their cheekbones are the widest part of their face with no sharp angles.

The best frame for this face shape:

Square and Geometric
Emphasize the natural balance of the face while adding angles to the soft curves.
