When investing in luxury eyewear, finding the perfect pair isn't just about the practical benefits; it's an opportunity to make a statement. That being said, if you need help figuring out where to start, it can be helpful to shop by shape. With an array of unique designs and high-quality materials, eyewear can take your style game to new heights. Read on for the ultimate guide to eyewear trends tailored to your face shape.
Before diving into the latest eyewear trends, it's essential to understand your face shape. It could be round, square, oval, heart-shaped, or diamond-shaped. Each face shape comes with unique characteristics, which help determine which eyewear shape will be the most fitting for you. While naturally, every face is different, simply identifying your face shape and selecting frames that work well with its contours can give you endless inspiration.
For those with soft, rounded features, it's a good idea to opt for angular frames, as they add structure and definition to your face. An oversized square or rectangular frame can be highly flattering as it can elongate the face, creating a sense of balance. Pairs such as Monokel Kaia or Waiting For The Sun Boby work well with a round face as they create a sense of harmony.
If your face is characterised by a strong, angular jawline and forehead, you've got a square face. In this case, rounded or oval-shaped frames can be an ideal way to balance sharp angles, while delicate textures and luxurious finishes elevate the overall aesthetic.
The Grech and Co Round sunglasses are perfect; the circular frames come in a range of soft and bright colours, making them a playful addition to your wardrobe.
If you're lucky enough to have an oval face shape, the best sunglasses for you are....well, any! Oval-shaped faces can pull off almost any eyewear style with ease. So why not opt for a bold, statement-making frame? Look for unique designs, such as oversized aviators or geometric-inspired frames, crafted from luxurious materials like titanium or recycled acetate.
A pair like the Chloé Squared Aviator Sunglasses or the Chloé Zelie Oversized Sunglasses will make a statement and add a feel of old-school glamour to your look. Breakfast at Tiffany’s, anyone?
Heart-shaped faces are characterised by a wider forehead and more prominent cheekbones that taper down to a narrower chin, resembling, you guessed it! A heart! To complement this facial shape, opt for frames that mimic its contours. A cat-eye or butterfly-shaped frame compliments a heart-shaped face perfectly.
Opt for the Monokel Hilma Havanaor or Chloé Zelie Soft Cat Eye sunglasses. The sophisticated designs, intricate detailing, and subtle branding allow the luxury to speak for itself.
If you have deliciously high cheekbones and a narrow forehead and chin, you've got a diamond-shaped face. This face shape benefits favourably from frames that highlight the face's unique features. Oversized square frames offer a bold look that can balance the angular features of a diamond-shaped face. They provide good coverage while drawing attention to the cheekbones.
Opt for a sophisticated design such as the Waiting For The Sun Henry Havana.
If you're still unsure, geometric frames such as hexagon or octagon shapes are super versatile and can complement a wide range of face shapes. Additionally, geometric frames add a modern and edgy touch to your overall look, making them a stylish choice for those seeking to make a statement.
In the world of luxury eyewear, finding the perfect pair of glasses or sunglasses is an art form. Understanding your face shape gives you a place to start when curating a playful yet polished look that shows your unique style.
