Sunglasses are necessary all year long. Of course, people mostly use them in summer, but our eyes need the UV protection regardless of the season. There is a large assortment of sunglasses anywhere.
You can opt for classic and timeless styles or choose a more adventurous colourful model. However, basics need to be covered first. Always pick sunglasses that provide maximum protection against UV rays. Сheap or low-quality ones can be harmful to your eyes. The next thing to consider is that sunglasses look good on you. In this article, I would like to tell you more about different sunglasses styles and explain why you should take into account your face shape before buying one.
How to find the best sunglasses for my face shape?
Sunglasses should complement your face shape. If you know distinctive elements of your face, it will help you understand what suits you better. Here is a brief guide for every face shape.
Round Face
Prominent circular features require some structure and definition. So, men with this face type should choose frames in a rectangular or square shape, but avoid wearing round frames. Thicker dark frames will work very well. The best combination here is a dark brown frame with gradient lenses.
Oval Shaped Face
Such faces are quite long, but not wide. The forehead is larger than the jawline. You are lucky if you have an oval face because you can wear any sunglasses styles.
Square Face
Square faces have strong jawlines and cheekbones, which are similar in length to the forehead. Such faces have too much definition, so here you should soften features. Round frames go best with this face shape. Choose small or medium-sized sunglasses.
Heart-Shaped Face
Men with heart-shaped faces have wide foreheads and more narrow chins. Small and medium-sized sunglasses create a balance between the jaw and forehead. D-frame or aviator styles work extremely well for such a face type as they add some length to the face. Here you should avoid round styles because they add too much emphasis to the forehead.
Diamond face shape
A diamond face shape is widest at the cheekbones, which often protrude. The forehead is thinner than cheekbones but wider than the chin. The chin tapers from the cheekbones and forms a point. Some people may have a more rounded chin, while others may have a very pointed one. These features give the face its diamond-like appearance. D-frame glasses are the best for a diamond face shape as they help balance the features. However, lenses should be quite small as the cheekbones are wide and don’t need any more attention.
The best sunglasses styles for summer
Round glasses
If you have more than one pair of sunglasses, you should get this option. Such sunglasses look great on square faces as they help soften bold features and sharp jawlines. This style will make you look like a music star of the 60s and 70s.
Square sunglasses
Such sunglasses are more angular and have sharper frames than their rounder counterpart. They add more structure and definition to round faces.
D-frame sunglasses
D-frame sunglasses feature a flat straight edge across the top of the rims and rounded bottom rims. They look like the capital letter “D” and are perfect for people with the diamond face shape. D-frames are a combination of retro and modern, they are great and stylish. The best choice for those who like statement accessories.
Aviator sunglasses
Aviator sunglasses have been popular for many years, they were created for pilots and protected their eyes during flights. However, aviators still offer a timeless and stylish look. Modern variations of the classic shape will help you keep your style contemporary. Aviators help balance features and elongate the face. The best choice for people with heart-shaped faces.
Geometric sunglasses
Such sunglasses have an angular shape and suit men with circular faces. If you have a round face, stand out from the crowd with a new pair of geometric sunglasses. Opt for thinner frames and subtle colours. Also, avoid anything oversized. Geometric sunglasses are a modern and fearless option for 2021.
Top bar sunglasses
Top bar sunglasses are distinctive and won’t suit everyone. This is a bold summer choice for men who want to make a statement. Before, such glasses were typically all acetate, but nowadays brands softened the look by combining acetate with metal.
Coloured sunglasses
In summer, people tend to add a bit of colour to their outfits. You can brighten up some of your accessories as well. However, you should always carefully consider buying coloured sunglasses, as they are not very versatile and may soon end up at the back of the closet. Also, don’t get strong colours but opt for honey instead of yellow or burgundy instead of red. This way, it will be easier for you to match your glasses with different outfits.
