Avoid This Sunglasses Mistake If You Have a Square Face
The key to finding a pair of always flattering pair of sunglasses is picking the right silhouette, and fortunately, there’s a general rule you can follow to make sure you’re wearing the right style: Choose a frame shape that is the opposite of your face shape. So, if you have a round face, you’ll look best in rectangular frames—but if you have a square-shaped face, you’ll probably want to avoid them. Instead, curved sunglasses will complement your angles.
Some of the coolest sunglasses styles for square faces to are round, oval, and cat-eye frames, and the good news is that those silhouettes are some of the biggest trends of the moment. Just look to celebs like Bella Hadid, who has been wearing small oval frames on repeat. Now, if you’re ready to forgo square glasses, we’ve rounded up the most stylish ones to wear instead.
Wear these with everything from long dresses to motorcycle jackets.
