Looking for a new pair of sunglasses for summer, but not sure what the best look for your face is? It turns out that our idea of four basic ‘face shapes’ – round, oval, square and heart – might be wrong: OPSM just did a study that suggested that actually there are closer to 9, including hexagon, oblong, kite and teardrop. All of which makes getting good-looking sunnies that little bit more complicated.
Don’t worry: we’ve picked out our top 15 for every face shape in the book, from narrow to wide, small frame to large. The big trends? Artisanal frames: we’re still loving everything from hand-painted detail to crafty inlays. Plus there’s a strong 70s influence in many of the shapes this season – which is lucky, because they’re very flattering to many of the faces out there.
Sun protection is the most important thing about these accessories, so we’ve only picked those which fulfil proper guidelines. And we’ve also got a combination of splash-out luxury items and penny-pinching cheap lovelies. Now that’s a Christmas dream come true. Are you ready to get new sunglasses for summer?
