Best Sunglasses for Your Face Shape: Square
Square faces feature all the sharp angles. If you're on the lookout for frames to soften or accentuate those angles, we've put together just the guide you need. From round to geometric, we'll help you find the best-fitting Quays for your face shape.
What Is My Face Shape?
Faces come in all shapes and sizes — knowing yours will help you find the just-right frames. If you're wondering how to determine your face shape, here's what you need to know about the main face shapes and the fits that complement them.
Square Faces
Square faces have angular features, which are softened by circular frames and enhanced by square frames.
Other Face Shapes
-
Round: If you've got a round face, it's as wide as it is long. Soft, round faces especially look great with frames that have straight lines and create angles.
-
Oval: Oval faces are also rounded — but they’re also longer than they are wide. Again, frames with straight lines help bring balance to the face.
-
Heart-shaped: Heart-shaped faces have foreheads wider than the chin area. They pair perfectly with rounded and tapered frames.
-
Smaller: Size matters — that's why we also carry minis for smaller faces.
Finding the Best Sunglasses for a Square Face
On the hunt for frames to complement square faces perfectly? Here are some top picks for finding the right fit.

With adjustable silicone nose pads for an all-day fit, it's perfect for festi life. These are also great for everyday wear, whether you're running around town or catching happy hour with friends.
Browline Sunglasses: LEVEL UP
With a thick top and less pronounced bottom, browline glasses are timeless. LEVEL UP brings that same browline energy with a sleek metal brow bar that softens a square face.
