QUICK TIP!
Some of you might be scared of choosing the right sunglasses for you, so to make it easier just follow the golden rule: your face shape should be opposite of your sunglasses.
If you have a round-shaped face, go for square or rectangular ones. If you have a square-shaped face, opt for a rounded one to soften your features. If you have a heart-shaped face, because your jaw is narrow, pick a pair of sunglasses that are wider on the top than at the bottom, like aviators. And lastly, if you have an oval-shaped face, well consider yourself blessed because any pair will work for you!
