Lets start with identifying your face shape. Head to a mirror and take a look to find out your face shape:

Oval

Oval faces are great when shopping for sunglasses because basically all frames look great. Therefore the biggest question you have to ask yourself is what is your style? Do you want the modern version of a vintage classic? If so try a Cat Eye. Or would you prefer something more quirky and high fashion? If so go for Round.

Square

Look at you being in the lucky few that has a symmetrical face. You have a strong jaw line and therefore need to contrast the shape, try a Round or Pilot frame.

Diamond

Heart

Do you feel the love in the air? The love of a great face shape, heart-shaped faces give off a youthful vibe and look great in a Semi-Rimless, Round or Pilot. Enjoy your wonderful youthful look in some fun sunglasses from your local Orleans optical store.

Round

Is one of the most common face shapes, the best part about that is that there is a large selection of sunglasses on the market. Sunglasses are the most flattering when they are opposite your face shape, so stick with a nice Rectangle or Square. These are two of the most common shapes for sunglasses, so you can enjoy the hunt for your perfect pair.
