There’s more to finding the right pair of sunglasses than simply blocking out the sun—it's about enhancing your style and complementing your unique features. At Melonz, we believe that everyone deserves a pair of shades that not only fit perfectly, but also make them look and feel their best. That’s exactly why we made every single pair we offer available in three distinct sizes.
But with so many styles out there, how do you choose? It all starts with understanding your face shape. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best sunglasses for every face shape, helping you find the perfect pair to highlight your features.
Oval Face Shape
If you have an oval face shape, you're in luck. This face shape is actually super versatile, with balanced proportions that can pull off nearly any style. Whether you want to rock a pair of bold aviators, classic squares, or trendy round frames, your options are wide open.
Our Pick: Bodacious classic modern aviators for just the right swagger and comfort.
Square Face Shape
Square faces are characterized by a strong jawline and broad forehead. To balance these angular features, opt for round or oval frames that soften the lines of your face. Avoid overly angular frames, as they can exaggerate the boxy nature of your face. “Looking sharp” is one thing, but too much sharpness can be a bit intimidating.
Our Pick: Honey modern round sunglasses, designed to bring a subtle softness to your look.
Round Face Shape
For those with round faces, the goal is to add definition and length. Rectangular or square frames are your best friends, as they create contrast and elongate your face. They sort of act as a divider, making your face seem a bit longer than it really is. Steer clear of round frames, which can make your face appear even more round.
Our Pick: Crenshaw modern square aviators offer the perfect mix of style and structure.
Heart Face Shape
Heart-shaped faces are wider at the forehead and taper down to the chin. More people have them than you would think! To balance this shape, look for sunglasses that add width to the lower part of your face. Aviators or any other bottom-heavy frames work particularly well here.
Our Pick: Sugar timeless sports wrap for their comfort, utility, and unique shape.
Diamond Face Shape
If you have a diamond face shape, your cheekbones are the star of the show. To accentuate them, go for frames that sit higher on your face and are slightly wider than your cheekbones. This will draw attention to your most distinct features that are often considered quite attractive! After all, diamonds are forever. Oval and cat-eye frames are great choices for diamond-shape faces.
Our Pick: Calypso vintage cat-eye sunglasses are perfect for highlighting your sharp features.
Oblong Face Shape
Oblong faces are longer than they are wide, but more prominently than oval faces. With this face shape, the goal is to make your face appear shorter. Choose frames that have depth, such as oversized sunglasses, wrap-around styles, or sunglasses with extended end pieces. These will add width and balance out the length of your face.
Our Pick: Honeydew iconic square sunglasses provide the perfect balance for a longer face shape.
No matter your face shape, the key is to find comfortable, quality sunglasses that make you feel confident and stylish. Oh, and also, they should fit your face correctly! And while certain styles may complement your features better than others, don't be afraid to experiment. After all, fashion is all about expressing yourself. And comfort will always be fashionable.
At Melonz, we offer a wide range of sunglasses designed to suit every face shape and personal style. So whether you're looking for something classic or bold, we've got you covered. Explore our collection today and find your perfect pair.
