While I would argue that sunglasses are a 365-days-a-year essential (after all, the sun doesn't just disappear when bikini season [1], ends!), it's a particular must-have come Summer. But with so many frames to choose from, how's a girl to know which one is perfect for her? In fact, there isa best frame shape for every face. Just like you wouldn't buy a pair of too-tight pants or dress that's so large you're swimming in it, it's important to keep your particular shape and silhouette into account when shopping for sunglasses.
So, as we jump head-first into the Summer season [2], dreaming of all the ways we're ready to update our wardrobes, there's nothing quite as easy as a pair of new sunglasses to amp up that seasonal look. Ahead, find the best sunglasses for every face shape — and some favorites I'm currently shopping for days of fun in the sun.
