Sunglasses sales are always at their highest around this time of year, but it’s important to make sure you know what style will suit your face, especially when buying online. There will no doubt be more than one pair of shades that will catch your eye from the Van Mildert collection, so to whittle it down here’s some tips to make sure your face fits first...
Lady Gaga in Carrera Champion White £77
Oval: This face shape suits most styles of glasses so make sunglasses your main accessory for the summer.
Square: Aim to lengthen your face with sunglasses that are heavier on top with rounder edges.
Triangle: If your chin is wide, try and chose glasses which maximise the width of your forehead and draw attention away from the lower half of your face, like rimless aviators.
Heart shaped: You can get away with more styles than most, but aviators will look the best on you.
Round: Avoid round frames. Instead go for square or rectangular frames in dark colours to add dimensions to your face.
