Sunglasses are a favored fashion accessory among many people. However, many people commit a giant fashion faux-pas and choose sunglasses that are not shaped well for their face.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Many people purchase sunglasses based on the fact that they like the style of the glasses, and never take into consideration that the glasses may not be very well suited for them. But if you want to look your best, use these tips to determine which shaped sunglasses will best suit the shape of your face.
Step2
The Round Face--Those with a round shaped face should choose sunglasses that have rectangular or square shaped frames. These frames help to minimize the fullness of the face and help add definition.
Step3
The Square Face--If you have a square shaped face, choose frames that are round or oval in shape. These shapes help to soften angular features that most people with a square face often have.
Step4
The Heart-Shaped Face--People with a heart shaped face often have high, broad foreheads and a very narrow jaw line. Choose frames that are thin, such as wire frames or aviator frames, to help draw attention away from the forehead and jaw area.
Step5
The Oval Shaped Face--If you have an oval shaped face you're in luck! Almost any style frame works well with an oval face, so it's a matter of experimenting and determining which style frame you enjoy the most.
