Choosing the right pair of sunglasses isn’t just about what looks cool—it’s about what flatters your face. When you match frame shape to your face shape, it balances proportions, enhances your features, and boosts your confidence. Use this guide to find the style that suits you, then explore our collection to see real pairs that work.
1. Identify Your Face Shape
-
Oval — Balanced proportions, slightly narrower at the jawline than the temples.
-
Round — Wide at the cheeks with softer curves and minimal angles.
-
Square — Strong jawline, broad forehead, boxy outline.
-
Heart‑shaped — Wider forehead/temple area, narrowing toward the chin.
2. Best Frame Styles by Face Shape
| Face Shape | Frames That Flatter | Why They Work |
|---|---|---|
| Oval | Square, rectangular, or geometric frames; brow‑line styles | Adds structure and contrast to soft curves |
| Round | Cat‑eye, aviator, angular frames | Creates visual length, balances width |
| Square | Round frames, oval frames, softer edges | Softens strong angles, adds curves |
| Heart | Aviator, rimless, frames that are wider at the bottom | Balances a wide forehead with a narrower chin |
3. Lens Colors & Finishing Touches
-
Lens tint: Gray and smoke lenses reduce brightness without altering colors; mirrored or polarized lenses reduce glare—great for driving or bright sunlight.
-
Frame material: Acetate gives bold color and style; metal offers thin frames, lightweight feel.
-
Fit & comfort: Ensure bridge fits well, arms are secure but comfortable. Try styles in “transparent,” “metal,” or “acetate” collections to compare feel.
4. Style Inspiration + Matching Tomahawk Shades Collections

Conclusion
Your face shape is a great starting point—but personal style, face size, and purpose (e.g. driving vs casual vs fashion) matter just as much. Try different styles, see what feels right, and use our Tomahawk Shades collections to shop what suits you best.
