Square sunglasses are a popular style among those who want to look stylish and confident. The right pair will emphasise your facial contours, be it round or oval, and bring brightness and freshness to your image. However, a lot depends on the nuances of the choice: the shape of the frames, the size, the colour, the material, and the lenses. We tell you how to pick up square sunglasses that will become your favourite.
What to Consider When Buying Square Sunglasses
1. Pick a Frame Based on Your Face Shape
The shape of your sunglasses should be chosen based on your face shape, but there are some general rules to follow.
For a round face, the most common square sunglasses are those with non-acute corner pieces. This creates a strong contrast between your face shape and the lines of the frames, highlighting your facial contours. People with oval faces have the greatest variety of options for square sunglasses. For those whose face shapes most closely resemble a square or a heart, you should prefer sunglasses with slightly rounded corners. This will soften the sharpness of the lines and create a more comfortable fit. Do not forget that the primary criterion when choosing sunglasses is individual comfort, so these guidelines are only general recommendations.
2. Choose the Size According to Your Preferences
A smaller frame will accentuate your features, but a larger frame creates a bolder, more dramatic look. Always ensure the sunglasses you choose are the right size. They should not press against your temples, and they should not slip off your face when worn.
To find your ideal size and fit, try on different styles on our website to find which size is most comfortable for you. Keep the following criteria in mind:
Frame width: should approximate the width of your own face
Lens height: should suit your cheekbones
Bridge width: should fit comfortably over the bridge of your nose
The ideal combination will depend on your preferred style and fit.
3. Match the Colour to Your Outfit
Square sunglasses in black frames are a universal solution that will harmonise with almost any attire, from cotton T-shirts to business suits. If your image is more oriented towards nature, then choose brown or tortoiseshell frames. They will bring your outfit more warmth and cosiness. Transparent frames make the image more modern and light. White or colored frames are quite capricious but can be chosen in a variety of colour palettes to suit your preferences. If this is your first pair of sunglasses, prioritise black, as it is the most versatile colour. If you already own such sunglasses, then you can experiment with different colours.
4. Consider Various Variations of the Sunglasses
There are several variations of square sunglasses. The most classic and stylish sunglasses have a balanced shape that complements any image. Oversized square sunglasses create a bold and fashionable look that is ideal for vacation wear as they pair nicely with both light clothing and urban streetwear. A square aviator sunglasses variation combines two popular styles: an angular front and the details of an aviator. This option is better suited for a more sporty and modern style than an ordinary teardrop shape. Thus, when choosing sunglasses, it is important to consider not only the colour and shape but also the variation, since it sets the tone of your whole image. Classic square sunglasses are ideal for everyday use, while more unusual ones are suitable for excursions and holidays.
5. Consider Sunglasses for Men and Women
You may need to make your choice by gender category. Because the square shape works well when the proportions, fit, and the design elements are matched to your identity.
When shopping for square sunglasses men's styles, look at frame width, lens height, colour and overall design rather than the label alone. Black, brown and thicker frames are popular for a defined, classic look. You can browse men's sunglasses to compare options.
Women may enjoy slim square frames, oversized designs or softer corners. Our women's sunglasses range is a good place to start.
6. Think About Comfort and Everyday Use
Check that the arms sit gently around your ears and the frame does not pinch your temples. Lightweight frames suit long periods of wear, while a secure fit helps during outdoor activities. If the square-shaped frame is very sharp and pointy, you also may need extra care. If you travel often, always use a protective case, as these sharp edges might wear out or break. Or you can choose a pair with softer corners and edges.
