Sunglasses aren’t just about finishing an outfit—they should feel like they’re made for you. Whether you’re into timeless classics, bold statement frames, or something in between, Flo & Frankie has the perfect pair. Let’s talk face shapes, styles, and everything else you need to find your sunglasses match.
What Are You Looking For in a pair of sunglasses?
Before diving into the details, think about what you need:
- Comfort and Fit: A pair that sits well on your face without pinching or sliding.
- Style: Are you into trends or a lover of classic designs that go with everything?
- Durability vs. Budget: High-quality frames last for years, but if you’re prone to losing them, a wallet-friendly option might be your best bet.
How to pick the best sunglasses for your face shape
Sunglasses are all about the fit. If you already have a pair you love, start by measuring them.
Check the width from hinge to hinge or across the outside, and take note of the lens height too. This will help you compare with new styles.

FEATURES AND FRAMES
Let’s talk features and frames—because the perfect fit is everything when it comes to sunglasses. If you’ve got a low nose bridge, adjustable nose pads or narrower frames are your go-to. They’ll sit comfortably and balance your look.
For those with a high nose bridge, it’s smooth sailing. Most sunglasses will naturally fit you well, so it’s all about finding a style you love. Regular fits? Yes. Statement designs? Absolutely.
Now, cheekbones. If yours sit a little lower, regular or wider frames will feel secure and super comfortable. On the other hand, high cheekbones often pair beautifully with shorter frame heights—seamless, flattering, and ready for any occasion.
How to Find Your Face Shape
Finding your face shape is easier than you think!
Snap a selfie with your hair pulled back or grab a photo you already have. Trace the outline of your face using your phone’s draw tool, paying attention to proportions like your forehead, cheekbones, jawline, and chin. Spotting key features like a strong jawline or prominent cheekbones will help narrow down your shape and guide your frame choice.
If you have a square face with equal width and length, round or oval frames soften your angles beautifully.
For round faces with full cheeks and a curved jawline, angular or square frames bring structure and balance.
Triangle faces, with narrower foreheads and wider jawlines, pair well with wider frames to create harmony.
And heart-shaped faces, featuring wider foreheads and tapered chins, look amazing with frames that balance the top and bottom, like wider or cat-eye shapes.
Your Perfect Sunglasses
From fit to frame, every detail matters.
Frame Colours That Work
Frame colours can change your whole look. Black is sleek and effortless, while coffee, caramel, and beige tones bring soft, neutral charm. Tortoise and Havana add a warm, earthy edge, and grey, white, or clear frames keep it fresh and modern.
The Tint Factor
Go for black tints when you need ultimate sun protection, coloured or mirrored tints for a playful pop, or light tints for subtle, all-day wear—even when the sun’s taking a break.
