How to Choose the Perfect Sunglasses for Your Face Shape — Without Compromising on Comfort or Culture

By Anhseen Eyewear

Finding the right pair of sunglasses shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. Yet for so many of us with non-Western facial features — like lower nose bridges or higher cheekbones — choosing frames that look good and feel good has always been a challenge.

At Anhseen, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between fashion and fit. Here’s how to pick the perfect sunglasses for your face shape — with design tips that actually work for diverse features.

 1. Identify Your Face Shape (and What That Really Means)

Forget rigid beauty standards. Knowing your face shape is about understanding your natural proportions — so you can find frames that highlight them, not hide them.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Round Faces: Soft curves, full cheeks, equal width and height.
    Best fit: Angular frames like square or cat-eye styles add definition.
    Try: Seoul Glow for sculpted edges and a confident pop.

  • Oval Faces: Balanced proportions, slightly curved jawline.
    Best fit: Most frames suit you! Go bold or minimal.
    Try: Bangkok After Dark for a timeless look that flatters effortlessly.

  • Heart-Shaped Faces: Wider forehead, narrow chin.
    Best fit: Rounded frames or aviators to balance the face.
    Try: Saigon Iced Coffee — soft lines that add harmony and ease.

  • Square Faces: Strong jawline, broad forehead.
    Best fit: Round or oval frames to soften angularity.
    Try: Bali Sunset Silk for a cool, relaxed vibe with rounded flair.

🌉 2. Don’t Forget the Bridge Fit

Here’s the secret most brands don’t talk about: standard nose bridge measurements don’t work for everyone.

If your sunglasses constantly slip down your nose or sit too low on your face, chances are you need a low-bridge fit.
At Anhseen, every frame is built with this in mind — offering nose pads and frame angles that support and elevate ethnic facial structures.

So, before you fall in love with a frame, ask:
Does it stay on my face comfortably?
Can I smile or move without adjusting it
