The right choice of sunglasses is a matter of several different criteria.
When selecting a pair of sunglasses, you first need to pay particular attention to the morphology of your face.
Here are some tips on how to choose the right sunglasses for someone with a square face.
In optics, there are different types of face, such as round, rhomboid, oval and square.
This facial morphology should be taken into account when choosing the right pair of sunglasses.
In fact, to create a harmonious, balanced effect, the frame shape must match the shape of the face.
For example, if you have a square face, you need to choose sunglasses that suit your angular and linear features.
The main characteristics of a square face are a broad forehead, a very pronounced jawline, a strong chin and broad cheekbones.
All these features can convey an image of strength, but sometimes they can also give an impression of severity and hardness.
Moreover, the square face, which is predominantly male, can give a woman a masculine aspect.
However, the square face features can be softened by wearing the right sunglasses.
To break up the angular appearance of a square face and create balance, round and oval frames are particularly recommended.
The roundness of these frames softens the facial lines and their potential rigid expression.
Still with the aim of softening the lines, square faces should prefer thin-framed sunglasses.
It is also advisable to choose a darker colour, as a light one may not contrast well with the strong lines of this type of face.
For more originality, a person with a square face can also opt for butterfly or cat-eye sunglasses.
However, it is still possible to choose a geometric frame to match the facial features.
This choice can be made to emphasise the strong character of the square face and make a statement.
Anyway, getting advice from your Optical Center optician is the best way to make sure you choose the right sunglasses.
