Sunglasses for Narrow Faces

Finding the perfect sunglasses is just like the story of Goldilocks. Some are too big, some are too small and it’s pretty near impossible to get the ones that are just right. Ok, so Goldilocks wasn’t looking for sunglasses and should really have been arrested for breaking and entering, but you get my gist. For those of us blessed with a narrow face the challenge can be even trickier. We’ve put together some useful tips and product suggestions to help you find the pair that’s just right.

Sunglasses for Thin Faces

Do keep frames around 130mm across the front. Anything that measures around 130mm from one side to the other will flatter a narrow face and won’t make your head look too small.

Don’t pick frames that make your head look out of proportion. Any frames that stretch past the edge of your face may make your head look a lot smaller.

Do try an interesting frame shape. Square and cat-eye shapes are a perfect choice for equaling out the size of your face.

Don’t pick a frame that’s too small. With frames that are too small they could throw your face shape off balance.
