SUNGLASSES: Which shape suits me? – Martina Berg

It’s the time for sunglasses. In my photos you can see me wearing sunglasses more often than in previous months. Even though most people on Instagram wear sunglasses every day, I am one of those sunglass wearers who only wear this trendy accessory when the sun is shining. I know wearing sunglasses is supposedly “cool”, but at 50+ I’m making my own decisions about whether I’m cool or need sunscreen.

With the large selection of sunglasses, one thing is important: Which shape suits my face shape? Read my post today and quickly find out which are the right sunglasses for your face shape.


How do I recognize my face shape?

If you’re still unsure what face shape you have, I’ve put together some simple tips on how to recognize your face shape. There’s an easy way to find out quickly. Let’s start with your mobile phone. Take a selfie and simply draw the outline of your face shape on the picture – you already have the solution to the shape of your face. If you don’t have a cell phone or prefer another solution, then stand in front of your mirror and use the eyebrow pencil to trace the shape of your face in the mirror.

My tips for the right sunglasses should make your decision-making easier. Of course, your personal taste, your individual color type and your preferences for sunglasses must always be taken into account. There are eyewear stores where you can try out a number of models yourself without having to buy glasses straight away.

What face shapes are there?

We are talking about four different face shapes, namely the round, the oval, the rectangular and the heart-shaped face.

The round face – which glasses go with it?

With a round face, the forehead and jaw are usually of equal width, and a wide, full cheek area is the main feature. The shape should definitely not be round. Square, oval or geometric glasses are advantageous for a round face. The shape of the glasses should not be too large.

The oval face – which glasses go with it?

The outer contours are rather soft and balanced, the chin shape is slightly rounded and the face is longer rather than wide. The oval face is said to be ideal. When it comes to choosing glasses, a lot is possible. Most sunglasses flatter the shape of the face. Round, large, square and extravagant glasses look harmonious.

The square face – which glasses go with it?

The square face shape is characterized by a broad and prominent forehead. The cheekbones are also a prominent feature. The forehead, cheekbones and jaw are almost the same width. Round or oval glasses are beneficial to soften the face shape. It is important that the angular facial features are optically refined.

The heart-shaped face – which glasses go with it?

A clear characteristic of a heart-shaped face is the broad forehead and the narrowing chin. The chin looks more pointed than rounded. The forehead is usually the widest part of the face.

Aviator glasses go particularly well with this face shape. Glasses with a slight cat-eye shape also look advantageous.

Sunglasses from different online stores

I have selected different sunglasses for the above descriptions. If you are simply looking for the right accessories, you will definitely find something in the large selection of glasses that I have discovered for all fashion-conscious glasses wearers and accessories lovers.

My styling tip

Glasses are advantageous when they set accents. The shape of the glasses should always counteract the shape of the face.
Example: If you have a round face, you should choose an angular shape. If you have a square face, it is better to use a rounder model of glasses.

No matter what face shape you have, the fashionable accessory sunglasses gives you plenty of scope to emphasize your style. And some wear sunglasses for the very reason Falco made the point many years ago.

“Sunglasses are always a very good stylistic device,
because you can’t see your eyes.
I don’t feel like putting on my eyes for TV, for example,
you just show up with sunglasses.”

(Falco, October 1986)
