Using a mirror or photo of yourself, compare the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jawline. Determine which parts are wider or slimmer to decide which face shape you are most like.
Ultimately, there is no rule to wearing sunglasses, you can pick a style that speaks to you and wear it! However, if you’re wanting to flatter your face shape, a part of square sunglasses will usually suit most faces including oval, round, heart and more.
Polarised lenses will reduce the glare from reflective surfaces like water or roads, which makes them especially useful outdoors, so they are a great option to consider.
