I seriously used to hate glasses, literally hate it. As I’m prescribed to wear one, but still I did everything not wear them until I got one that suits me. Then I got to understand that it’s about the right frame that’s fit and today we are just doing it.
Now shades or glasses act a protective shield from the sun UV rays, adds confidence, and rises your outfit to an unheard-of level and also can make you low if it doesn’t have any quality and suits you. So let me be your fashion advisor in this.
Now understanding your alternatives helps you to select the best sunglasses that suit your face shape.

Use Wayfarer, Geometric, Oval, Round, Browline frames for your Rectangle face shape that gives a great look.
Round Face
Rounder faces look fairly short with the wider forehead, full cheeks, rounded chin with a soft jawline.
Now with this face shape, we need to add angle and structure to give a perfect look, now you go bold by textured frames avoiding round and oversized frames.
Use Rectangular and Square shaped frames by avoiding Round and Oval-shaped frames which reduce the depth of face. And also you can go for Aviators.
Square Face
