Choosing the perfect pair of sunglasses is about more than just style or seasonal trends. The right pair can enhance your features, balance your proportions, and elevate your overall look. In this definitive guide, we break down how to select sunglasses that complement your face shape with curated references to high quality, reasonably priced options from FrovaFrame, Pakistan’s destination for branded sunglasses.
Why Face Shape Matters
Sunglasses are not one-size-fits-all. Different styles work better with certain facial structures. When your sunglasses align with your face shape, they provide harmony and visual balance. This guide helps you determine your face shape and pick the best frames accordingly.
Step 1: Identify Your Face Shape
Before choosing sunglasses, you need to determine the shape of your face. Here’s how to identify the most common face shapes:
Oval
- Forehead slightly wider than the chin
- Balanced proportions
- High cheekbones
Round
- Full cheeks
- Soft angles
- Width and length of the face are similar
Square
- Strong jawline
- Broad forehead
- Angular features
Heart
- Wider forehead
- Narrow chin
- Prominent cheekbones
Diamond
- Narrow forehead and jawline
- Wide, high cheekbones
Stand in front of a mirror, pull back your hair, and trace the outline of your face on the mirror with a lipstick or dry-erase marker. The overall shape you see will help guide your frame selection.
Step 2: Choose Sunglasses for Your Face Shape
The following recommendations are tailored to each face shape, with examples you can find at FrovaFrame.
Oval Face: Almost Any Style Works
If you have an oval face, consider yourself lucky. Most frame styles look great on your balanced proportions.
Best Frame Styles:
- Aviators
- Oversized frames
- Cat-eye sunglasses
FrovaFrame Picks:

- Square
- Geometric shapes

Square Face: Soften Your Angles

Best Frame Styles:
- Rounded aviators
- Oval frames
- Curved edges
FrovaFrame Picks:
- Rounded Metal Sunglasses : Gentle curves that soften features.
- Classic Oval Shades : Elegant choice for a smart-casual look.
Heart Face: Balance the Forehead

- Wider bottom
- Light colors

FrovaFrame Picks:

- Minimal Rim Frames : Offers a sleek, sophisticated look.
Step 3: Consider Frame Size and Proportion
Even the right shape needs the right size. Frames should align with your eye line and temple width:
- Too large: Overpowers your face
- Too small: Looks disproportionate and uncomfortable
As a general rule, choose frames that match the width of your face and sit comfortably on your nose without pinching.
