  • Oblong
  • Square
  • Base-up triangle or base-down triangle

Square Face – Square faces should be matched with round-bottom glasses. The sunglasses should have soft edges to flatter the hard lines on the face.

Round Face – A round face will go best with square or rectangle frames.

Oval Face – An oval face offers more options than almost any other face shape. You can gift them almost any frame.

Style

The person’s style is another big factor to consider. Do they like to spend most of their time in casuals or in the formals? Their lifestyle plays an important role in what eyewear they’ll prefer wearing.
