When it comes to glasses (sunglasses, reading glasses or clear vision glasses), different shapes/styles fit different face shapes. If you like, glasses are not one size fits all. Having said that, some face shape like the oval face shape can wear all kinds of glasses.
Advantages of Wearing Sunglasses
SInce the sunglasses season(summer) is ahead of us, let me share some reasons why it is important to wear sunglasses with you before I talk about different shapes of glasses for different face shapes.
1, Protects the eyes/face from direct sunlight
2, Perfect as a fashion accessory
3, Perfect for days when you do not feel like wearing make up
4, Perfect for people with photo sensitive or light sensitive eyes
Of course, the reading glasses are generally for reading. Whether you are selecting your reading or sunglasses, use the tips below to choose the best frame for your face shape.
Different Face Shape & Glasses that Suit Each Face
The OVAL face shape
Oval faces are evenly proportioned and softly rounded. If you have oval face shape, almost all frames will suit your face. I am have an oval face shape and as you can see in the photos, I have different shapes of sunglasses on.
The RECTANGULAR face shape
The most prominent feature of the rectangular shape face is deeper forehead, longer nose or square jaw. If you have got a rectangular face share, a frame with strong brow line will be perfect for you. It will make your face wider. Shallow frames will lengthen the appearance of your face.
The ROUND face shape
Round faces are usually fairly short with wider forehead, full checks and a round chin. If your face is round, opt for angular style frames to draw attention to your half of your face rather than your fuller cheeks.
The SQUARE face shape
Squared faces has length and breathe that are proportionate. Your jawline is strong and your forehead is broad. In your case, opt for oval or round shape glasses to help you soften your jawline. Angular glasses will emphasis your already squared face.
I hope you found this post helpful but most importantly I hope you are confident in choosing the frames that bet suit your face whether for reading or for style.

Thank you dear Stella. Appreciate your feedback and love.
Cheers my beautiful friend.
All very helpful tips. I never pick glasses with the shape of my face (long/narrow) in mind. Then again, I always purchase the same type. For the next purchase I’ll try to have you in mind.
