South Beach is a sunglass town. You can sport your shades day or
night, inside or outside and you’ll always be in good company. We’ve
got your guide to all things shades – shape, shops and sites to wear
them. Start with your face shape and read on for details.

Oval:
Good news - high cheekbones and a narrow chin mean you can pull off
just about any style. Square, rectangular or oval frames are all fair
game.
Wear Them: Cruisin' on the Julia Tuttle
Splurge: Dior square rimless shield sunglasses with gray shaded lenses. Nordstrom, Kendall; 786-709-4100; nordstrom.com.

Round:
Round faces mean square lenses. Square or angular frames wider than the
broadest part of your face will soften edges and curves.
Wear Them: Milling down Ocean Drive for dinner
Splurge: Gucci square frames in brown, with cutout sides accented with wood
Saks Fifth Avenue, Miami; 786-845-3867; saksfifthavenue.com.

Oblong: Got a long, thin face? Look for round or square frames that will shorten and widen your mug.
Wear Them: Sunbathing in Sunny Isles
Splurge: Fendi square frame in dark brown with dark brown lenses
Macy’s, Aventura; 305-682-3300; macys.com.

Heart: Balance is key for heart-shaped folks. Look for aviator or angular frames to contrast a pointy chin.
Wear Them: Shopping and dining at Bal Harbour
Splurge: Roberto Cavalli rhinestone-studded aviators
Nordstrom, Coral Gables; 786-999-1313; nordstrom.com.

Square: Square edges need round love. Soften an angular jawline with curvy round, cat eye or oval shades.
Wear Them: Strolling down Lincoln Road
Splurge: Chanel round frame in bone color, with inlaid metal logos along the top and bottom of the frame, and brown shaded lenses
Saks Fifth Avenue, Bal Harbour; 305-865-1100; saksfifthavenue.com.
