Before you finally buy glasses online, it is wise to know the real shape of your face first and the most appropriate frame shape for your face. Not only will this help you get the best fit, it will likewise help you balance your features with that of the sunglasses.

So, let's the ball rolling!

Oval Face Shape

If you have an oval shape face, your chin and forehead are narrower and your cheekbones are broader. People with oval face have fairly even and gently rounded features.

If you are someone with an oval face, you can wear almost all types of frames. However, the ideal pair of prescription glasses is the one with butterfly shape frames or those frames with a top portion that is heavier, thicker, or darker lower part.

Round Face Shape

People with a round face has less defined angles and more obvious curves. The ideal frames for people with a round face are those that can make the face look longer, thinner, and sharper and those with fewer curves. Some good examples of these types of sunglasses are those with rectangular, wrap, square, and shield frames.

Trapezoidal Face Shape

A trapezoidal face is something like that of Olivia Wilde. This shape features a wider bottom part of the face. If your face is trapezoidal in shape, pick the sunglasses with dramatic cat eye frames or those with half-rim style to balance out your jawline.
