Advice on choosing
the right Sunglass for your Face Shape .
Eyewear that is
more angular or narrow with high or mid-height
temples complements the round face.
For a balanced look,
your eyewear should focus attention to the
eye area. Cat-eye shapes, square-straight
top, or frames with rimless bottoms are all
appropriate choices.
Select frames that
will keep the ovals natural balance. The frames
should be as wide or wider than the broadest
part of the face. It is all about proportion.
The oblong face
is longer than it is wide. You should look
for a frame that is wider than it is deep.
Decorative or contrasting temples as well
as strong horizontal lines can add width to
the face.
Try to contrast
face shape and frame shape to make the face
look longer and soften the facial angles.
Frames that are wider than the widest part
of the face, like oval shape frames, are good
choices.
Rimless frames,
ovals or cat-eyes all will highlight the eyes
and bring out the cheekbones on a diamond
shape face.
Frames should minimize
the width of the top half of the face and
attempt to add width below the eye line. Try
rimless eyewear or frames with rounded tops
in light colours and light materials.

For children's sunglasses we would normally suggest below the age of 8 go for small and above the age of 8 go for large.
This is only meant to be a rough guide to help you choose, all sunglasses have a 7 day money back guarantee so therefore any problems
