Will my sunglasses fit on me?

Round face A round shaped face needs straight lines to counteract the curves so look out for rectangular or square frames.

If you have a large face for example Sophie Ellis Bextor then you can pull of the large, bold sunglasses that gives you the A-List celebrity look. Best to avoid round sunglasses as this will exaggerate the curves and the frames should be wider than they are deep.

Heart shaped face If like Jennifer Anniston and J.Lo you have a heart shaped face, beware of too-wide sunglasses that will make chins look pointy, but you can probably get away with more styles than most. The best style we have found for this face shape is the aviator. These old '70s and '80s styles feature numerous aviators that have been worn by the likes of Patsy Kensit, Natalie Appleton and the inevitable Kate Moss.

Oval face This is the wear-what-you-like face shape so pretty much anything goes. This face shape has the most balanced proportions allowing you to play with the styles! Find your favourite sunglasses and you will look great.

Small face It can be hard to find sunglasses that work if you have a small face. If you are not a confident person and adventurous with your style, then we have a nice selection of sunglasses for you.

If you do have a small face, you can still wear oversized sunglasses. Stay clear of thick frames if you don't want to draw attention to yourself too much.

Long face With a long face it is best to wear a rectangular frame to add width and help balance out the length of your face. A low bridge on the sunglasses may also hep shorten the length of your nose.

Square face Square faces can look best with rounded sunglasses, or curved sunglasses like many of Ray-Ban's collection. Angular sunglasses may emphasise a square jaw. There are plenty of quality, fashionable sunglasses for you to choose from.

Triangle face A triangular shaped face will have a wide forehead, but small chin and rimless sunglasses can really work well and look good. You may wish to select frames that are winder at the bottom.

For ladies we also have a list of dos and don'ts

* Rimless sunglasses and aviators suit most face shapes

* Your eye should be positioned in the middle of the lens - horizontally and vertically

* The frame should follow the line of your eyebrow

* You should never be able to see your eyebrow above the frame

* The edge of the frame should be slightly wider than the widest part of your face

* Warm skin tones suit warm colours like gold, tan and pink

* Cool skin tones suit colours like white, black and silver
