1 An oval face
Lucky you! According to Kevin Hundert, founder of made eyewear (an online eyewear brand launching this summer), oval is the most versatile face shape for picking sunglasses. "As long as the size of the frame is proportional to your face, it's hard to go wrong,” he says. “If you're feeling bold, even oversized sunnies can look great on you.”

To offset the roundness of your face, Kevin suggests opting for sunglasses with an angular shape. Do not — we repeat — do not buy round frames! "Frames that are barely wider than your face can also make it appear smaller,” adds fashion stylist and blogger Illysia Neumann-Loreck ofMadlyChic.com.

A long face
Have a long, thin face like Liv Tyler or Sarah Jessica Parker? Illysia recommends sticking to square or rectangular sunglasses, which will minimize the length of your face.

A square face
"The strategy behind selecting shades for a square face is the exact opposite of a round one,” notes Kevin. You want to balance out all that square-ness with a curved or rounded frame. "Steer clear of any sharp designs that will accentuate the angles in your face,” warns Illysia.

A heart-shaped face
People with heart-shaped faces have broad foreheads and small chins. Thus, their sunglasses shouldn't be much wider than their temples, advises Illysia. "Don't go too big with your shades or you'll attract attention to your forehead,” she cautions.

A diamond-shaped face
Elizabeth Hurley is the prime example of a celebrity with a diamond-shaped face. Her forehead and chin are narrow, while her cheekbones are wide. Sunglasses that extend out further on the top as opposed to the bottom, like cat-eye shades or aviators, will complement this face shape best, informs Illysia.
