SUNGLASSES AND FACE SHAPE
Choosing sunglasses to suit your face shape is the best way to enhance your features and achieve a harmonious look. In this guide, discover which styles are best suited to round, oval, square or triangular faces, with practical advice and dedicated selections.
At Isolani Opticians, we help you find the perfect frames thanks to a professional analysis of your face shape and our Size Guide.
A round face has soft features and full cheeks. The aim is to slim and define the contours.
Recommended styles:
• square shapes
• geometric frames
• sharp cat-eye frames
• oversized styles with clean lines
Avoid round shapes, as they accentuate the roundness.
The oval face is the most versatile: balanced proportions and harmonious features. Almost all shapes work well.
Recommended styles:
• aviator
• cat-eye
• square shapes
• bold and geometric styles
Perfect for experimenting with new trends.
A square face has a pronounced jawline and defined features. The aim is to soften the angular lines.
Recommended styles:
• round shapes
• soft ovals
• thin frames
• lightweight silhouettes
Avoid frames that are too angular, as they make your features look harsher.
A triangular face (narrower forehead, wider jawline) requires frames that balance the upper part of the face.
Recommended styles:
• cat-eye
• aviator
• frames with a pronounced upper section
• lightweight shapes at the bottom
As well as shape, size is key to achieving a comfortable fit. You can consult our Size Guide to find the ideal frame width, bridge width and temple length.
