The fastest way to narrow down sunglasses is by face shape, not by brand. Most frames are designed around a handful of face-shape principles, and once you know your shape, shopping gets a lot faster.
Round Faces
If your face is roughly as wide as it is long with soft edges, look for frames with angles and structure — square or rectangular shapes add definition. In our range, the Ray-Ban Justin and Ray-Ban Warren rectangular styles work well here.
Oval Faces
Oval is considered the most versatile shape — most frame styles suit it, including rounder shapes that would overwhelm a rounder face. This is where the Ray-Ban Round Metal or the browline Mega Clubmaster tend to look best.
Square Faces
Strong jawlines and a wider forehead benefit from rounder or softer frame shapes to balance sharp angles. Round Metal styles and softer square frames like the Emporio Armani EA4270F work well against angular bone structure.
Heart-Shaped Faces
A narrower jaw and wider forehead suit frames that are wider at the bottom or lightweight and rimless, so the frame doesn't add extra width up top. Rimless styles like the Ray-Ban x A$AP Rocky rimless sunglasses are a good example.
Beyond Face Shape
Face shape is a starting point, not a rule — lens tint, frame colour, and how a frame sits on your specific nose bridge all matter just as much. The only reliable way to know for certain is to try a few shapes on. If you are shopping with us, bring in your shortlist and our team will fit you against each option in person; see what that involves on our in-store experience page.
