Celebrity Sunglasses - Which Are Right For You?

Saturday, June 14th, 2008 | Trend Watch

Celebrities wearing sunglasses gives us an idea of which will work best with our own face shape. I say this because celebrities have go-to personal stylists that keep them in-the-know of which styles are in and which will work best for them! :) Take a cue from celebrities such as Eva Mendes, Nicole Richie, and Victoria Beckham on which sunglasses shapes will work best for you.

Sunglasses for Round Face Shapes

If you have a round-shaped face, choose square or rectangular frames to even out your look as Eva Mendes models above. Square sunglasses also look great on oval and oblong face shapes.

Sunglasses for Square Shaped Faces

If your face shape is on the square side – especially if you have a square chin – choose either round-shaped frames or sunglasses with rounded bottoms like the ones Nicole Richie is wearing above. Round-shaped sunglasses will soften the shape of square faces.

Sunglasses for Heart-Shaped Faces

If your face is heart-shaped like Victoria Beckham, Reese Witherspoon, or Jennifer Aniston, aviator shades will work great for you among many other styles. Only stay away from wide sunglasses which will draw too much attention to a wider forehead.

Keep the following things in mind also when choosing sunglasses to suit your face shape:

  • The edge of your frames should be a bit wider than the widest part of your face.
  • Warm skin tones look best in gold, tan, or pink frames.
  • Cool skin tones look great in white, black, and silver frames.

These are some nice tips! I have the hardest time figuring out what my face shape is though. Lol.

These tips are really true, I have two pairs of glasses, both with the same shape, and they fit within those guild lines and look great on me.

I need a new pair of sunglasses because I busted mine today. Whatever the shape, I just like BIG sunglasses. I was thinking of doing a sunglasses post.

You’re right on! I have more of a round face and square shapped glasses are the ones that tend to look the best on me =)

Love the tips. Even when aviators were not in, I still loved my old ones.
