Adorning Ava have some of the best statement sunnies around for SS15, with a variety of styles to suit all face shapes and styles.

It's hard to know what type of shade to look for but we're here to give you the lowdown to make your decision a little bit easier.


Face shapes

There are four main face shapes we have used to help you decide what type of shade to go for.



Oval: - Geometric Tortoise Shell

Examples: Beyonce, Julianne Hough, Jennifer Anniston, Selena Gomez.

Type of shade: You’re a lucky lady, you’ve got an oval-shaped face. That means you can pull off just about any look when it comes to sunglasses. Rectangle frames are often chosen for their horizontal orientation to balance an oval face’s vertical. And upswept styles are good for complimenting high cheekbones. 


Round - Flat Top Snakeskin Sunglasses

Examples: Kirten Dunst, Miranda Kerr, Kate Bosworth, Amy Adams.

Type of shade:  Characterized by soft, contoured, feminine features, round faces generally have a width and height that are roughly equivalent. There are a lot of great opportunities to show off your style with a nice pair of shades. Whether you’re out at the beach or going for a drive, geometric shapes like horizontal frames, Wayfarers and rectangle shapes will give your face a longer, thinner look. So offset your contours and gain an elegant edge today.


Square: - Black Round Cat Eye Sunglasses

Examples: Kate Blanchett, Rihanna, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman.

Type of shade: Bold features make you a natural head-turner. Features like a prominent forehead and a strong jawline characterize your distinctive look. This makes you the perfect candidate for a few different sunglass shapes. Try curvier frames like round, oval, cat eye, butterfly and semi-rimless to accentuate your eyes and playfully balance a striking jawline. 

Heart: - Round Tortoise Shell Sunglasses

Examples: Eva Longoria, Reese Witherspoon, Olsen twins, Scarlett Johansson.

Type of shade: This typically means there’s a good chance you’ve got a broader brow and a narrow chin. You can direct attention downward or elongate your look to even out proportions with the right pair of frames. Go for frames with thin temples, or frames with exaggerated bottoms for heart shapers.
