Sunglasses are a wardrobe staple here in the sunny UAE and Rivoli’s Eyezone storesnow have specially trained eyewear stylists in each store ready to help you select the right style for your specific face shape.
Rivoli worked with fashion director and stylist Sally Matthews to provide training to the EyeZone team on face shape styling for the newest collections of designer eyewear launching in January 2016.
Specific shapes and styles enhance the features of each face shape and discerning shoppers are certain to find the perfect pair, or two, from Rivoli’s portfolio of leading brands such as Diesel, DSquared2, Emilio Pucci, Ermenegildo Zegna, Webb, and Swarovski, to name a few.
Most faces fall into one of five shape categories:
- Heart/triangle
- Square/rectangle
- Round
- Oval
- Diamond
Heart/triangle shaped faces are recognized by their broad forehead, wide cheek bone, and narrow chin and soft jaw line.
The best frames for this face shape are rimless, cat-eye, and butterfly shapes.
Square/rectangle shaped faces are recognized by their wide cheek bones, angular jaw line, square forehead. The best frames for this face shape are round, oval, cat-eye shapes and aviator styles.
Diamond shaped faces are recognized by their broad forehead, wide cheek bone, and narrow chin and soft jaw line.
The best frames for this face shape are oval, square, and rimless shapes.
Round shaped faces are recognized by their soft, gentle and circular shape. The width and length are the same with little or no angles. The best frames for this face shape are angular frames with a rectangle or geometric shapes.
Oval shaped faces are recognized by balanced proportions and gently curved jawline. The chin is generally narrower than the forehead and cheekbones are typically high.
The most versatile of face shapes, most frame shapes work on oval faces as long as they are in proportion to the size of the face.
