What sunglasses suit my face?

How to choose the right sunglasses for you

Choosing a pair of sunglasses can sometimes be a headache since there are so many different models.
However, it is important to take your specific profile into account to ensure that you choose the one that suits you best.
Here are the main criteria to consider when choosing your sunglasses.

Your face shape

The most important parameter to take into account when choosing sunglasses is your facial morphology.
Indeed, for a harmonious result, the pair of sunglasses must perfectly match the shape of your face.
In morphology, there are essentially six different facial forms.
A person can have a square, round, oblong, diamond, rectangular or oval face.
For each type of face, a frame shape may be recommended that best fits and offers a nice balance.
For example, sunglasses with rounded frames can soften the features of a square face.
On the other hand, this type of frame should be avoided if your facial morphology is already round.

The colour of your skin

It is also important to take your skin colour into consideration when choosing the colour of your sunglass frame.
Indeed, it must match your skin complexion to offer a harmonious look.
Therefore, particularly fair skinned people should opt for a silver-grey, blue, pink, purple or green sunglass frame.
Faces with darker skin tones will prefer a darker frame such as black or brown.
Black or dark-skinned people can also opt for sunglasses with tortoise shell or gold frames.

Your hair colour

The colour of your sunglasses should also match the colour of your hair.
For example, redheads should opt for gold, green or blue frames and avoid orange and red ones.
Blondes can choose between a brightly coloured frame to stand out or a pastel one to keep it soft, depending on their mood or personality.
Dark-haired people will choose a blue or green frame to add some spice to their look or black or brown for a discreet and elegant style.
On the other hand, any colour of sunglasses frame will match white or black hair.
