What do faces and sunglasses have in common? They both come in all shapes, sizes and colors. So what better way to protect your peepers than choosing a pair of shades to complement your beautifully unique face? Here’s everything you need to know when it comes to picking out the perfect sunglasses for your face shape, whether you’re shopping for everyday sunnies for spring or celebrating National Sunglasses Day on June 27.

How to find sunglasses for your face shape!

Whether you have a round face, oval face, or square face, Hibbett | City Gear will help you find the perfect sunglasses for your face shape!

What Is My Face Shape?

Turns out that knowing your face shape is a good thing. It can help you pick out your sunnies, sure, but it’ll also help you determine how to apply your makeup and the best ways to style your hair. To find your face shape, you can use an app or a filter, but you also can look at a few features to determine your shape. If you have a(n):

Heart-shaped face, you might have a pointed chin and a wider forehead, with or without a widow’s peak hairline.
Round face, you likely have a rounder jawline and overall symmetrical features — i.e., the length of your face is roughly the same as the width.
Oval-shaped face, it’s similar to round, but your face is probably a bit longer than it is wide, and the widest width is usually around your cheekbones.
Square-shaped face, your features tend to be more angular, and you may have a wider jawline and forehead.
Triangle- and diamond-shaped face, congrats! You have one of the rarest of face shapes with a more defined jaw, narrower forehead and wide cheekbones.

Sunny Days, Sunnies Styles

So you’ve roughly determined your face shape, and now you need the right shades to slay at peak sun hours. Hibbett | City Gear has plenty of picks for all ages, face shapes and sizes, whether you’re looking for sunglasses for big faces, sunglasses for small faces … or somewhere in between.

Best Sunglasses for Heart-Shaped Faces

If you have a heart-shaped face, you’re in good company with stars like Harry Styles and Kourtney Kardashian-Barker.

The Ray-Ban Clubmaster frames have an ever-so-slight cat-eye style and feature a browline trim, which provides a nice counterbalance to the face.
Oakley Holbrook sunglasses offer square frames that help create symmetry of the cheekbones and forehead.

Best Sunglasses for Round Face

Join the round-faced counterparts club, which includes the likes of DJ Khalid, Drew Barrymore and Mindy Kaling.

Costa Del Mar Fantail 580G Matte Gray sunglasses add an angular element with its widened rectangular lenses.
Oakley New York Giants Sutro sunglasses feature cool prismatic lenses that help balance out the roundness of the face.

Best Sunglasses for Oval Faces

Oval may be the easiest shape when it comes to shopping for shades. You can pretty much choose anything to your liking.

Ray-Ban Aviators are a top-gun choice when choosing sunglasses for your face shape.
Rock the Costa Del Mar Irie sunglasses with their durable style and polarized lenses.

Best Sunglasses for Square Faces

Brad Pitt and Rob Lowe are two acting icons who just happen to wear their square faces quite nicely. Look for rounded and oval-shaped lenses for a similarly iconic look.

The Ray-Ban Jack shades are a winner with their roundish lenses and sleek wire frames.
The Oakley Kylian Mbappe Signature Series sunglasses feature a heavy browline with a lighter frame along the bottom.

Best Sunglasses for Triangle- & Diamond-Shaped Faces

Anyone with this face shape (Justin Timberlake included) can maintain facial symmetry by selecting a semi-rimless pair of sunnies.

Grab a pair of the Ray-Ban RB3183 shades to add to your suit and tie fit.
Select the Oakley Radar EV Path sunglasses to make a bold statement.
