FIND YOUR PERFECT PAPAGO FIT

When shopping for sunglasses, it's important to consider your face size and shape. This plays a significant role in finding sunglasses that not only fit well but also enhance your style (think Bono or Lady Gaga). To discover the perfect sunglasses for your face, follow these steps: measure your face, identify your face shape, and then choose a style of sunglasses that complements your unique features.

Determine Your Face Shape

Identifying your face shape is essential when choosing the right glasses.

Examine Your Dimensions: Analyze your facial dimensions by looking in the mirror or seeking assistance from a friend.

Match to Common Shapes: Compare your face to these common categories:

  • Round
  • Square
  • Oval
  • Oblong / Rectangle
  • Diamond
  • Heart

ROUND

Round faces feature noticeable curves and fewer defined angles. Opt for glasses with sharp angular lines to elongate and refine your face. Rectangle, square, wrap, and shield-shaped glasses complement round

faces well.

SQUARE

Square faces have similar lengths and widths, with broad foreheads and strong jawlines. Round or oval-shaped glasses help soften the face's sharpness. Consider aviators, butterflies, or round frames. Center or top-set temples are suitable for square faces.

OVAL

Oval faces are versatile, and most frame styles suit them. From designer to sporty frames, oval faces can rock any look. Avoid oversized frames that hide your symmetrical features.

OBLONG/RECTANGULAR

Oblong or rectangular faces are long and narrow with few angles. Oversized sunglasses, large wayfarer or rectangular lenses with thick frames, or sunglasses featuring tall or deep lenses work well to add width and edge. Styles like wrap, shield, square, wayfarer, and rectangle are

great options.

DIAMOND

Diamond-shaped faces have narrow jawlines and foreheads, with wide cheekbones. Opt for oval and rimless frames to complement your cheekbones. Choose frames with gentle curves that don't extend beyond your cheekbones' width.

HEART

Heart-shaped faces are widest at the temples and narrowest at the chin. Look for sunglasses with wide lower edges and no straight lines on top to balance your features. Cat-eye styles, rounded edges, shield, butterfly, rimless, or aviator frames are ideal for heart-shaped faces.
