Find Your Perfect Pair: The DAX Eyewear Fit Guide

Let’s be real—shopping for sunglasses should be fun, not a geometry test. At DAX Eyewear, we believe the "best" pair of sunglasses is simply the one that makes you feel like a million bucks.

That said, we know it can be tricky to choose when you can't try them on instantly. While there are no hard rules in fashion, playing with proportion and balance is a great place to start. Think of this as a gentle nudge in the right direction rather than a rulebook.

Here is a quick cheat sheet to finding frames that naturally complement your features.

---

1. The Round Face

Soft curves with a similar width and length.

The Goal	Add some definition and angles
Try These	Look for angular frames like Rectangular, Square, or bold Wayfarer styles. These shapes add a nice contrast to soft features, making your face look longer and thinner.
The Vibe	Sharp and sophisticated.

2. The Square Face

Strong jawline, broad forehead, and square chin.

The Goal	Soften the edges.
Try These	Curvier frames are your best friend. Think Round, Oval, or classic Aviators. The curves of the sunglasses will balance out your strong jawline and create a harmonious look.
The Vibe	Effortlessly cool and balanced.

 

3. The Heart-Shaped Face

Broader forehead and a narrower chin.

The Goal	Balance the width of the forehead.
Try These	Look for frames that are slightly wider than your forehead or draw attention downward. Cat-Eye frames are a classic choice here, as are retro Wayfarers.
The Vibe	Retro-chic and playful.

 

4. The Oval Face

Balanced proportions, slightly longer than it is wide.

The Goal	Have fun! Oval faces are the universal donor of the sunglasses world—almost any frame will suit you.
Try These	This is your permission slip to go bold with Oversized frames, funky Geometrics, or bold colors.
The Vibe	Whatever you want it to be!

 

5. The Rectangular Face

Similar to a square face but longer, with a strong jawline, wide cheekbones, and broad forehead.

6. The Diamond Face

Narrowest at the forehead and chin, with wider, high, and dramatic cheekbones.

The Goal	Soften your angular cheekbones and draw attention upward to your eyes.
Try These	Round and slightly rounded square frames are great options. Cat-eye or browline styles that flare out slightly at the top corners help add width to your forehead and highlight your eyes beautifully.
The Vibe	Elegant and distinct.

 

7. I'm Not Sure of My Face Shape

That's fine!  Honestly, it can be tricky to know as we're all different.

 

The Goal	A universal fit.
Try These	Aviators -- the Universal Hero

 

 

If there is one frame that truly bridges the gap between every face shape, it’s the Aviator. But why does this classic pilot style look good on almost everyone?

It all comes down to the unique teardrop silhouette.

• Natural Contours: The lens shape mimics the natural curve of the human cheekbone, allowing it to sit comfortably on the face without fighting your features.

• The Perfect Balance: Aviators combine a strong, straight brow bar (which adds definition to rounder faces) with curved bottom edges (which soften angular or square jawlines). It’s a design that offers the best of both worlds.

• Visual Lightness: Unlike chunky acetate frames, the traditional thin metal wire of an Aviator doesn’t overpower the face. It provides coverage without "wearing you," making it an easy choice for small and large faces alike.

The Golden Rule

At the end of the day, confidence is the ultimate accessory. If you have a round face but love the look of round John Lennon-style specs? Rock them. If you have a square jaw but crave a sharp geometric frame? Go for it.

Use this guide as a starting point, but trust your gut. If you love it, it fits.
