While finding sunglasses is a daunting task, the key is to pick shapes and styles that don’t overwhelm your face. Luckily, this must-have summer accessory comes in a variety of sizes so there is a pair for every face!
Keep reading to see our picks for sunglasses for a small face!
Wayfarers
Our #1 pick for sunglasses for a smaller face? The Wayfarer. With their smaller lens size and slim wire frames (plus a nose bridge!), these are the perfect warm weather accessories to sport. Styles that are between 50 mm and 54 mm will offer enough coverage from the sun while not appearing too wide or small on your face.
Aviators
The pilot-inspired style features a delicate frame that’s also just right for a small face. When you’re on the hunt for your new pair of frames, do the cheek test! Smile, then if your frames are pushed up by your cheekbones, they might be too big!
Circular
Throw it back to the Jackie O. era of style with circular or round frames! Look for a smaller pair that hits just above your eyebrows and sits right on your cheekbones. Feeling a little bit wild? Go for a bold, reflective pair in a bright color—like blue or green to brighten up your summer accessory game.
Remember, more important than size and style is the eye protection your sunglasses offer. Look for sunglasses that guarantee at least UV 400 protection!
