During spring term, there’s not much more to life than day drinking, other than looking good while you’re doing it. You’ve stocked up on new cropped apparel, so now what? While hats are for the daring, everyone can agree on a nice set of shades. If you’re never sure what style frame is right for your face shape, take a look at this guide.
Rule of thumb — Aviators and wayfarers are universally flattering and cool. While you can look to Ray-Ban for authenticity, cheap versions can be spotted anywhere.
Round — Full cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw
• To offset the curves of your face, angular frames with lines work best.
Heart — Wider at the brow, narrower at the chin
• Bigger styles work to balance out the proportions. For ladies, this is a perfect opportunity to try out cat eyes!
Square — Broad forehead, square jawline
• Round faces should try for lines. Square faces should try for round or oval shapes.
Oval — Proportional face
• The lucky ones — any type of style of sunglasses works.
