There's no denying the impact a good pair of sunglasses can have on your overall appearance, but choosing the wrong pair is a mistake many men make. According to a survey, 89% of US men wear sunglasses regularly. So, choosing the right sunglasses for your face shape plays a central role.
If you cannot choose the perfect shades that go well with your face shape and complement your style, that's alright. Faces vary in shape. Some are clearly mono-shaped, and some are a combination. To help you select the best sunglasses for you, I want to share some tips to make your selection easier.
Rounded Rectangle -- Good news! Round rectangle-faced guys, finding a perfect pair of sunglasses is a no-hard task for you. This shape works with almost three out of our four badass sunglasses designs. A rounded rectangles face shape has a blend of features; therefore, you have the edge over other face shapes. You can play with different types of sunglasses and enjoy a variety of cool looks.
You can go for Wayfarers to give your face a sleeker and stylish look. Alternatively, opt for Clubmasters to nail your office look effortlessly. Moreover, sunglasses you can wear to amp-up your style are the all-time favorite Aviators.

Rectangle -- So, you have determined that your face shape is more on the round side than oval and has equal length and width? If so, you can easily count on Aviators to add some structure and definition to your face. Also, you can give a square frame (like ENEMY 04) a go-to offset for your rounder facial features.
Square -- If you happen to have a square-shaped face that is equal in length and width, worry not because options are available for you as well. You can try your hands on Wayfarers to soften your overpowering square impressions. If round-edged glasses aren't your thing, how about going with a brow line with Clubmasters? Still stuck in the Clubmasters and Wayfarers? When in doubt, go with Aviators. Always!
Inverted Triangle -- With many arguments surrounding the inverted triangle shape and heart shape being essentially the same, let me help you with a fundamental difference. Go in front of the mirror and simply look at your hairline. If it's straight, you have an inverted triangle face shape. Sunglasses that pair well with this face shape include Wayfarers, squares, and timeless
Aviators.
Heart-Shaped -- We do not doubt that narrow cheekbones and small chin are photogenic, but when selecting sunglasses, this face shape is the most difficult to decide on. However, Aviators are an all-time fantastic pair of sunglasses. You can conveniently pick an Aviator and make a style statement.
Rhombus/Diamond -- Diamond is the rarest face shape. When your face is wider at the cheeks and narrower at the forehead, you certainly meet the criteria of a diamond/rhombus shape. The rarity of your face shape brings complexity to select the right sunglasses. However, you can never go wrong with Aviators as they'll not only add softness to your face but will elevate your style too.
 Triangle -- This face shape features a smaller forehead with a broader chin line. Balance this shape with the two best-loved eye-wear styles: Clubmasters and Aviators. A triangular face shape means that you have robust angular features. So, sunglasses that add softness to your face will be the best choice to counterbalance your jawline.
Oval -- Now comes the winner of the face shape category. Oval-faced buddies, congratulations! Your faces are the easiest to style with glasses. An oval face is taller than its width. You have a lot of choices to look simply posh. Go with the squared frame or choose a rounded one, take wider lenses, or try narrower ones – you have all the freedom. However, you must be a tad reluctant about too many squared or rounded
lenses.
There you have it – a full low down of face shapes and the sunglasses that go well with them. However, when selecting a nice pair of shades that harmonizes with your facial features and shape, the rule of thumb is CONTRAST! Go with what you lack in your features which will bring a natural balance to your face. What is more needed to create the most sophisticated
look?
