As we know, there are different face shapes and for each of them, there is a suitable shape of glasses. We will help you through our expertise to find the shape that suits you.
Starting with the basics
Before starting with face shapes, it is important to follow some basic rules when choosing your glasses.
The perfect nose: must fit all the edges of the nose in order to minimize marks, but also to distribute the weight evenly and avoid discomfort due to the weight.
The eyebrow line: in the context of sunglasses, it is important to protect yourself well, so it is best to slightly cut the eyebrow line. On the one hand to protect, and on the other hand to refine it and underline it.
The temporal gap of the glasses: this must respect the width of the head at the level of the temples (If the glasses are too small, marks will be visible on the skin at the level of the temples, too large the glasses will float on the face) .
In addition, it is important, depending on the shape of your face, that this temporal is well adapted as below:
- If the maxilla is wider than the temporal (triangular face), the bezel should fit the width of the maxilla.
- If the temporal is wider than the maxilla, the telescope will have to be slightly smaller than the temporal to re-harmonize.
The size of the branches: The length of the branches must adapt to the length of your port of ear: a too short branch will make a tilted glasses; an arm that is too long, your glasses may fall off.
Sunglasses for a round face
The round, or soft, face shape. She is characterized by a face as long as it is wide, whose features are not very marked!
This type of face can boast of being able to play several cards depending on your mood or style. The round shape on a round face will reinforce the sympathetic side and release a certain bonhomie. On the contrary, an angular shape (square or rectangle) will give more character to this type of face.
So, for round faces, DELIO, NICHOLSON, HAMEL, WINONA, FOYT can work very well.
Sunglasses for an oval face
Oval faces can, like round faces, afford to wear different types of shapes. The advantage will be that the style will be the key and also the main axis of reflection for the choice. All frames, pilots, rectangular, round, will work, it's up to you to let your imagination and your style speak.
Thus, HAYWOOD, NICHOLSON, HAMEL, BACALL will be able to achieve the perfect match.
Sunglasses for an angular face
Angular faces are easily recognizable with well-defined features, marked and providing a strong character. It is then, in this specific case, preferable to soften the face, with soft glasses, of round or oval shapes. Conversely, an angular bezel will increase the hard and severe side.
BACALL, RAFFAELE, HAMEL frames are therefore recommended for a softer look. Conversely, NICHOLSON, WINONA, LOY, WAYNE will reinforce this more formal look.
Sunglasses for a long face
For long faces, it is important to follow the rule of the temporal gap and above all not to take a model that is too wide or too high.
Sunglasses for a triangular face
If you have a triangular face, be careful there are 2 types:
It is important to follow the rule of the time gap:
- If the maxilla is wider than the temporal (triangular face), the bezel should fit the width of the maxilla.

There are therefore an infinite number of face shapes that will find the glasses that fit them perfectly.
