What kind of sunglasses will you absolutely stun in? Well, it all depends on the shape of your visage and finding a proportional style of sunnies. (That pair of tiny sunglasses looks cute online, but will it actually suit your face shape? Maybe not!) And it'll take some trial and error to figure out what sunglasses style is best for your face. To assist you on your sunglasses journey, start by drawing inspiration from celebrities with similar facial structures, below. (I already took this little test and I'm pleased to report that my face most closely resembles Emma Stone's.) Now, match your shape to one of theirs and then shop the sunglasses that fall into that category. If you're still unsatisfied with the offerings, browse the sunglasses brands to know for 2020. And to continue to hunt for your favorite sunnies, now that you know what fits, from these selections.
The Emma Stone a.k.a. Round Face Shape
Rounder faces like Emma's tend to be widest across the cheekbones and narrower along the forehead and jawline. Rectangular and angular frames are always a safe bet, and the wide cheekbones can pull off oversized frames, too.

2. Lele Sadoughi cateye sunglasses, $165
3. Loewe square sunglasses, $110
4. Mango acetate sunglasses, $30

The Angelina Jolie a.k.a. Square Face Shape
