In lieu of the recent beautiful weather, and venturing into the bright new world beyond the office, we’ve been happily shading our faces and sporting our favorite sunnies.
Easily one of the simplest summer accessories to add extra oomph to your outfit, we shamelessly – and defiantly – buy pair after pair. But are you wearing the most flattering pair for your face shape? Because even if they’re this season’s must-haves if they don’t suit your face they’ve no place in your wardrobe.
So, we’ve rounded up the most flattering sunglasses for every face shape. . .

Best Sunnies: Go for some round sunglasses that will best highlight your features.
Long Face Shape: If your face is longer than it is wide, you’ve got a long face shape. It is characterized by being narrow from the top of forehead to the chin, with rounded edges.
Best Sunnies: Oversized! They give the illusion that you have a shorter and wider face.
