FIND YOUR RIDE
There is a perfect frame for every face, and finding it is easier than it seems.
You just need a mirror and a few minutes. This guide will help you understand your face shape, your size, and how to choose wisely.
Step 1
Know your features
Identifying your face shape is the first step to finding sunglasses that suit you. Here are the five most common.
Longer than wide, with soft angles and a slightly narrower jaw than forehead. The most versatile shape — almost any frame works for you.
If you have an oval face, the world is yours. Experiment with shapes, colours and sizes without restrictions.
Square and rectangular frames to define your cheekbones. Go bold with colours and statement shapes.
As wide as it is long, with full cheeks and a rounded jaw. Very symmetrical and balanced.
Angular frames add structure and elongate the face, making it appear longer and more defined.
Square or rectangular frames in bold colours. Avoid round shapes — wide frames are especially flattering for you.
A strong, angular jaw with similar width at the forehead and jaw. A very defined shape that projects character.
Curved frames soften the angles and add contrast, balancing the structure of the face.
Round or oval frames with high bridges. They soften the jaw and draw attention to your eyes.
Similar to oval but longer and narrower. An elegant, fine jaw with pronounced vertical proportions.
Wide frames create a visual counterpoint that balances the overall look.
Wide, rounded frames with large lenses. Cat-eye and aviator styles also add visual width to the face.
Prominent, wide cheekbones with a narrower forehead and jaw. One of the most photogenic face shapes.
Curved frames highlight the cheekbones and add softness to the more pronounced angles.
Round or oval frames that enhance your cheekbones. Bold colours are also your allies.
Step 2
How to measure your face
Using a tape measure or ruler, take these four measurements. They will help you confirm your face shape and choose the right size.
Measure horizontally across your jaw, from below one ear to the other side.
Measure horizontally at the widest point of your face, from cheekbone to cheekbone. This is usually the largest measurement.
Measure from temple to temple, approximately halfway up your forehead.
Measure vertically from your hairline down to your chin.

Understanding Sizes

Step 4
The bridge: key to the adjustment
The part that rests on your nose. A good fit helps keep your sunglasses comfortably in place.
wider-set eyes
Look for bridges from 20 mm upwards. A smaller bridge would push the glasses too high on your nose.
closer-set eyes
Bridges of 18–19 mm give a more precise fit and prevent the glasses from sliding down.
Quick tip: If your previous glasses sat too high on your nose, the bridge was too small. If they slid down, the bridge was too large.
