Get Catty
Me-ow! Sharp cat-eye frames are fierce. Because they’re so fresh off the runway, rock ‘em with something more laidback (cut-off shorts and a tank, perhaps?). It’ll balance your vibe, big-time.

prettiest for y-o-u.
 
Square: Stick to shades that have soft and curvy angles so they don’t add too many strong edges to your already defined facial structure. Think: oval, round or soft cat-eyed sunglasses
 
Round: This face shape needs a little more structure, so find sunglasses with wide frames and angular or rectangular shapes to add definition. The best styles are square, cat-eyed, or anything with a wide frame.
 
Oval: Lucky! Just about any style will look slammin’. Try something crazy trendy, like huge lenses or rimless aviators.
 
Heart-Shaped: You’ve got a narrow jaw and a wider forehead. Opt for catty styles or frames with a straight top line (like a rounded aviator).
