Finding the perfect pair of sunglasses to suit your face shape can feel like a daunting task – but if you're looking to find a 'forever' pair of sunglasses that'll protect your eyes from the bright beams, you're going to want to put the time in to make sure they're just right.

Whether you have a square, oval, round, diamond or heart-shaped face, there are styles to suit in our edit of the best...

Best sunglasses for a square face shape

Square face types have a strong jawline and pretty much equal measurements horizontal to vertical.

People with a square face suit frames with rounded corners, and larger styles. Avoid square frames.

Best sunglasses for a round face shape

A round face essentially means that the horizontal and vertical measurements are equal. Your cheeks are the widest part of your face.

Round face shapes suit more angular sunglasses, and should stay away from round frames.

Best sunglasses for a heart face shape

A heart-shaped face generally means having a wider forehead and pointed chin. People with this face shape can pull off many sunglasses – but oversized styles will swamp them. Square frames, especially, will complement a smaller chin.

SHOP:

Best sunglasses for oval face shape

An oval face shape is typically defined by having length longer than width. The chin is generally rounded, and the forehead is likely to be the widest part of the face.

Those with an oval face can pull off many sunglasses styles easily. Try not to go too oversized, though.

SHOP:

Best sunglasses for diamond face shape

Those with a diamond face will usually have a pointed chin and high cheekbones. The difference between this and a heart-shaped face is that the diamond has a narrower forehead.

Those with this face shape will suit most sunglasses styles, although it's best not to choose anything too wide in frame, as this will make your cheekbones appear wider.
