By Jewelrygal @1928jewelry

With Memorial Day quickly approaching, our minds shift over from the blooming of spring to fun in the sun. After all is this is the first weekend when 1 in 3 people travel to celebrate some sort of summer activity, whether it be hanging out at the beach, grilling at on outdoor  BBQ or heading up north to a family cabin.

No matter what our plans may be, we all hope for a little rest and relaxation in the sun. To help you catch those rays we’ve compiled a quick guide to the perfect sunglasses for every face shape! After all, sunglasses are one of the hottest accessories for the summer season.

Heart shaped faces like Hayden Panettiere’s is characterized by a wide forehead, narrow jawline, high structured cheekbones and a narrow chin. Cat-eye sunglasses will help mimic the shape of your face with its exaggerated, sweet heart shape. Variations of the Cat-eye will also work on round and square shaped faces as well.

Round Face Shapes like Kirsten Dunst are characterized by their well…round face shape and small rounded chin. A good pair of structured square sunglasses will add some angular magic and definition. try to stick with a less exaggerated version like a ray ban to avoid your shades overtaking your face.

Oval faces like Charlize Theron are one of the easiest faces to find a good pair of shades for. It is characterized by balanced proportions with high cheekbones, narrow forehead and jawline. Really any pair will work with this face shape, but round Jackie O sunglasses and the classic Aviator are two styles that tend to be more difficult for other face shapes to pull off.

Square shaped faces like Lea Michele’s are proportional in length and width and feature a defined jawline, squared chin and a broad forehead. Try round sunglasses to add a little curve and volume to your face!
