SUNGLASSES & FACE SHAPES
August 10 2025 • MICHAEL MCMANAMON
Ever wondered why some sunglasses suit you and others don’t? That’s because sunglasses are more than just an accessory, they’re an extension of your personal style. But with so many shapes and styles available, finding the perfect pair can feel overwhelming. One of the best ways to narrow down your choices? Start with your face shape.
Sunglasses should do more than just shield your eyes from the sun, they should elevate your entire look. The right frame can highlight your best features, bring balance to your facial structure, and add that aesthetic edge you’re looking for.
FIND THE PERFECT FIT WITH MIIKOA
Trust us, through the extensive testing that goes into MIIKOA we know first hand the frustration that occurs when your shades just don’t suit you. Thats why we have created a handbook for getting the right frames for you.
1. Oval Face Shape
Features: Balanced proportions, slightly narrower chin than forehead, soft jawline.
Best Sunglasses: You’re in luck - oval faces can wear almost any frame style. Your balanced features make it easy to experiment with both bold and minimal designs. Simian | Blue
2. Round Face Shape
Features: Full cheeks, soft curves, width and length nearly equal.
Best Sunglasses: To add definition and elongate your face, go for angular or geometric frames. Think rectangles, cat eyes. Ezra | Havana
3. Square Face Shape
Features: Strong jawline, broad forehead, square chin.
Best Sunglasses: Soften your angles with round or oval frames. Curved designs contrast beautifully with your strong bone structure. Oliver | Tortoise
