Summer Shades For Your Face Shape
-
Choosing sunglasses that look great isn’t always easy. That’s why we went to celebrity stylist extraordinaire, Robert Verdi, for tips on how to find the perfect pair for your face shape. For a heart shaped face like Audrina Patridge, Verdi recommends a style that draws attention downward. “You want glasses that add width to the lower part of your face, so bigger styles work well but avoid anything that sits high and wide,” he says.

Paris Hilton looks as cool as ever with fun shades that complement her square face shape. “For square faces the goal is not to find hard angular lines that will accentuate your strong features, but to soften them with oval or round frames,” says Verdi.

Fergie is definitely ready for summer with a great pair of shades for her round shaped face. “Since round faces have fuller cheeks, you want to pick frames that make your face look longer and thinner,” says Verdi. “Look for angular frames and more horizontal styles to sharpen the face and add extra length with upswept frames.” Try on sunglasses in the Makeover Studio!Photo: © Josiah Kamau/Getty Images

Verdi says it’s best for round faces to draw attention to the top of their face for extra length. Katy Perry gets it just right by following Verdi’s other tip of choosing a style where the arm of the sunglasses connects at the top of the frame.

Paula Abdul’s funky style transcends even to her sunglasses. Her angular, dark frames look amazing on her oval face shape. And lucky for her, there’s not too many frames that she wouldn’t be able to rock. “Because oval faces have balanced proportions most frames look great so you can really play with different styles,” says Verdi.

Jessica Chastain gets in the summer spirit by sporting a pair of big, red sunglasses on her oval shaped face. Verdi advises that no matter what shape your face is, to make sure there are no finger prints on your glasses and that you always use a case to prevent the lens from scratching.
