Sunglasses may seem like a small, minute detail in everyday dressing, but when you find your perfect pair, they become more than a sun-shielding necessity. Similarly to tailoring your clothes to fit, the right sunnies can elevate your style, enhance your face shape, and lend an instant boost of cool to any summertime look.
Unfortunately, not all sunglass trends are created equally, and there exist particular styles that are ideal for everyone. Whether your face is heart-shaped, round, oval or square, we've found the best sunglasses to fit your face shape with a little inspiration from celebrities who've mastered the art.

Aviator sunglasses, like the oversized ones Kourtney is wearing, are ideal for highlighting the jawline and cheekbones as they parallel the outline of the face.
