How to *Finally* Find the Right Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

Ever wonder why those dope shades you added to cart didn't make you look like the stunner you'd imagined? Same. After a bit of research, we discovered there's actually a simple science to sunglass style. Turns out, finding the right frames is as easy as matching your face structure — be it heart-shaped, round, oval, or square — to the perfect frame shape. Scroll on to discover a variety of the ideal sunnies for your gorgeous, stylin' self!

Oval Faces: This face shape allows for the most risk-taking, and we say go Gucci big or go home. Choose chunky and oversized frames with dramatically faded lenses because anything goes, y'all.
