Rectangular frames create a balance by adding some structure to an oval face.

A square frame can give an oval face more structure and definition, giving it a more angular and balanced appearance. The shape will look flattering as your face is longer than it is wide, but square frames are equally proportioned. However, it's crucial to take into account the sunglasses' dimensions so that they don't look heavy on your face.

LBB's Pick: If you are willing to shell out some money for an exquisite piece of luxury, then Tom Ford is one of the best luxury designer brands to invest in for eyewear. These square sunglasses are quite the statement maker and will go with everything from LBDs to sarees.

Try to get a pair of strong statement sunglasses when you have an oval face so that they draw attention to your eyewear rather than emphasising the shape of your face. Big or enormous statement sunglasses are the ideal choice for a fashionable and bold look. Adding to this, they are a great choice for when you want to keep a good portion of your face covered.

LBB's Pick: Opt for these sunglasses if you plan to go all out with the drama. The shape gives ninety's vibes (think Meryl Streep from Devil Wears Prada) with oodles of bedazzlement on the spokes, an evergreen piece for fashionistas who adore statement accessories.
