I’m a glasses expert – which sunglasses will suit your face shape and why you shouldn’t dismiss the bold cat’s eye look

Sexy, stylish sunglasses can make or break a summer outfit.

But when you’re shopping online it’s hard to know which shape will suit you – and you can’t try them on.

Here, Fabulous Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend asks Specsavers’ frame stylist Bianca Swan which sunnies will present your face in the most positive light . . . 

Diamond

A DIAMOND-shaped face has a narrow chin and forehead, with wide, angular cheekbones.

Bianca says: “For those with this shape face, a rounded frame style will complement your features – but that doesn’t mean you can’t be adventurous.

“Try a round or oval metal frame, or make a statement with cat-eye frames to help accentuate your cheekbones.”

Square

IF your hairline mirrors your jawline in a horizontal line, you have a square face.

Bianca says: “Your defined jaw means you have a great face structure for angular frames.

"To balance your features, we’d recommend narrow, oval frame styles – or you can opt for a bolder look with cat-eye or geometric shapes.”

Round

FULL cheekbones, a rounded chin and a wide hairline mean you have a round face shape.

Bianca says: “We recommend you go for styles that contrast and lengthen the look of your soft, curved features.

“Rectangular glasses will look great on you. Play it safe with metal styles or go bold with colourful acetate.”

Oval

IF your face is longer than it is wide, with a jaw narrower than your cheek bones, then you’re an oval.

Bianca says: “Your face shape means you have a combination of soft and angular lines.

“Luckily for you, almost all frame shapes will suit you, so you can be as adventurous as you like.

"Make a statement with a geometric or oversized style, or opt for something more subtle like a teacup shape.”

Oversized, £3.50, Primark

Heart

HEART-shaped faces have a chin and jawline narrower than the forehead.

Bianca says: “Heart shapes feature both soft and straight lines, so the world’s your oyster when it comes to frames.

“We recommend a Clubmaster style – that’s a pair with framing across the top of the lens, but not the bottom – or a cat-eye frame to complement your face shape. You’d look great in aviators, too.”

Aviators, £14, River Island

Pear

THIS face shape – sometimes known as an upside down heart shape – is when your jawline is longer or larger than your forehead.

Bianca says: “Having a pear-shaped face will mean your jaw is its widest, most prominent feature – so balancing this with more angular, stand-out styles will compliment you perfectly.
