Aviators and Squares: A Face Shape Guide

Aviators and Squares: A Face Shape Guide

Face shape is a useful starting filter for Sunglass Hut Gucci, but proportion matters more than the category name. A frame should sit level with the brow and not extend past the widest part of the face.

Why this comes up

Face shape is a useful starting filter for Sunglass Hut Gucci, but proportion matters more than the category name. A frame should sit level with the brow and not extend past the widest part of the face. Contrast works: an angular frame on a round face, a softer one on a strong jaw. Frame width should match the widest part of your face, not your eye spacing. The groups below run from the decision that matters most to the ones you make afterwards.

What actually decides it

What decides this is frame width, lens depth and nose fit. Everything else is preference. Two from the first group show the range: Behno's SIAN SUNGLASS CASE PEBBLE DARK BROWN at $80, and A.P.C.'s Les Carrées sunglasses at $183. The first is the easy entry point; the second is where the money goes. Frame width should match the widest part of your face, not your eye spacing. A higher price mostly buys materials and finishing, and occasionally it buys nothing at all.

How to wear it

Frames are the accessory people see first. Buy the shape, not the logo. From the second group, Behno's SIAN SUNGLASS CASE PEBBLE BLACK ($80) is the one that earns its place, because it works in more than one context without being restyled. The third group is smaller and deliberately narrower, frames, for the decisions you make after the main one. None of this needs the whole group. One piece from each is usually enough.

Our honest take

There are 20 frames here from 12 brands, $28 to $260, all in stock when this was written. We would not buy all of them, and neither should you. Faherty's Sun & Waves Eyewear Anchor - Sunweave Jaquard at $28 is the low-risk way in, and Veronica Beard's CC Titan Aviator Sunglasses at $260 only makes sense if this is a category you already use constantly. On sunglass hut gucci specifically: the difference between the top and the bottom of this list is real but smaller than the price gap suggests. Nothing here is included because it is famous, and price is not used as a proxy for quality anywhere on this page. If you take one thing away: if you would not buy it at full price, you do not want it on sale.
