How do I chose the right sunglasses?
I’m invariably drawn to a bold shape or a vibrant colour but then find none that suit me and leave deflated and disappointed.
Well, I now know, there is a reason to this shopping disaster and it’s not just my judgement that is in question!
Faces come in all shapes and sizes (no surprises there!) but did you know that it’s the shape of your face that determines what glasses look best on you?
 |
My face, like the one on this model is square, that means the width of my face is pretty much the same as my length and to anyone that knows me well, I command a strong jaw line too! |
So to soften my face and draw attention to my eyes, I need to look at rounded shapes, shapes that don’t add angles but soften the look of my face.
But what shapes suit a round face? |
|
A round face has lots of curves but not as many angles, the length of the face is equal to the width so to give a bit more definition to this face shape, you need to steer away from round glasses and focus towards the more angled and over-sized ones.

Luckily for you, the fashion is full of fabulously oversized glasses and you will be spoilt for choice |
Finally the classic oval shaped face. Could this be you?
| When it comes to an oval shape, we have explored Lucy, our new manager’s glorious face in detail in our live at @numbertwentyberko.But, for the purpose of this blog, here is an image of a model | 
|
Lucky Lucy has an oval face and, as luck would have it, oval faces are just perfect for sunglasses!
An oval face has all the right proportions, gentle curves with even features which makes choosing sun glasses an absolute ball! Go square, go round or oversized, you will look fabulous in every single one of them.
