style guide
Find out
the shape of your face to assess which style will really compliment
you!
In general, faces are normally considered: angular (where
a face has a square shape) or curvilinear (oval shape). Face
shapes however, can be split into approximately seven classifications…
Square Face- how to define it:
Wide cheekbones and chin, along side a broad jaw line, define
this type.
Most complimentary style of sunglasses for a square face:
To minimise the width of the face, it is best to choose sunglasses
that add length. This can be best achieved by buying sunglasses
that are not as wide as the widest part of your face.
It is also a good idea to soften the "squareness"
of a face by more fluid, rounded style frames, so as to decrease
the perception of a broad jaw line.
Oval Face- how to define it:
If your cheekbones are high and you chin is narrow, this is
considered an oval shaped face.
Most complimentary style of sunglasses for an oval shaped
face:
Generally any type of sunglasses suits an oval face, but just
make sure that the size of the frame is proportionate to the
face.
Round Face- how to define it:
Unlike a square face, a round face has no distinctive areas
but is normally defined by its symmetry in terms of width
and length.
Most complimentary style of sunglasses for round shaped
face:
To sharpen a round face, select frames with straight or angular
lines that will help make the face look thinner and longer
Diamond Shape Face- how to define it:
A small forehead and wide temple and a narrow chin define
this shape of face.
Most complimentary style of sunglasses for a diamond shape
face:
Glasses that are oval, shaped or rimless are very complimentary
for this type of face.
Oblong Face- how to define it:
A face that is longer in length than in width.
Most complimentary style of sunglasses for oblong shaped
face:
To compliment this style of face, it is best to choose sunglasses
that will shorten the face and widen the face, both at the
same time. The best style of frame to choose is one that is
round, or deep to help soften the face.
Round Face- how to define it:
Unlike a square face, a round face has no distinctive areas
but is normally defined by its symmetry in terms of width
and length.
Most complimentary style of sunglasses for round shaped
face:
To sharpen a round face, select frames with straight or angular
lines that will help make the face look thinner and longer
Base-Down Triangle Face- how to define it:
This type of face is broader at the chin than it is at the
forehead.
Most complimentary style of sunglasses for a Base-Down
Triangle face:
To compliment this style of face, it is best to emphasis the
top part of your face with strong balancing frames.
Inverted Triangle Face- how to define it:
This face type is defined by a broad forehead and narrow chin.
Most complimentary style of sunglasses for an inverted
triangle face:
Choose a type of frame that balances your face and broadens
the lower part of your face. Low temples and rimless style
of sunglasses are a good style to consider.
