Selecting the right Motorcycle Sun Glasses frame for your face.

Proper fit and a style that suits you in motorcycle glasses should be your main objectives. Your face size, shape and other factors should play a major role in your decision. To make the best selection, you need to have a good understanding of what constitutes "proper fit." The fit will affect how your glasses look, whether or not they are comfortable, and how well you see with them. The shape of your frames should work well with the shape of your face.

SQUARE FACE

A square face has a strong jaw line and a broad forehead, plus the width and length are in the same proportions. To make the square face look longer and soften the angles, try narrow frame styles, frames that have more width than depth and narrow ovals. Compliment a square face with frames that are slightly curved. The top of the frames should sit high enough on the face to downplay the jaw line.

ROUND FACE

A round face has curved lines with the width and length in the same proportions and no angles. To make the face appear thinner and longer, try angular narrow eyeglass frames to lengthen the face, a clear bridge that widens the eyes and frames that are wider than they are deep, such as a rectangular shape. To play down the roundness, select frames with straight or angular lines. With a round face, give the illusion of longer, slimmer face, by choosing a frame that is more rectangular in shape and has a clear or thin bridge. Deep color such as black or tortoise also minimizes fullness.

BASE UP TRIANGULAR FACE

This shape is defined by a broad forehead and narrow mouth and chin. Frames with a thin rim and vertical lines will help balance the bottom part of the face. Frames should not sit too high on the face. Avoid large frames, heavy nose bridges, bold colors and square shapes. This face has a very wide top third and small bottom third. To minimize the width of the top of the face, try frames that are wider at the bottom, very light colors and materials, and rimless frame styles.

BASE DOWN TRIANGULAR FACE

This face shape is defined by a heavy jaw line and thinner forehead and chin. To make your face look more proportionate we suggest a frame that is heavily accented on the top region. An example would be semi-rimless frame, with heavy top, and no frame at the bottom. To add width and emphasize the narrow upper third of the face, try frames that are heavily accented with color and detailing on the top half or cat-eye shapes.

OBLONG FACE

The oblong face is longer than it is wide and has a long straight cheek line and sometimes a longish nose. To make the face appear shorter and more balanced, try frames that have a top-to-bottom depth, decorative or contrasting temples that add width to the face or a low bridge to shorten the nose. Long narrow faces are similar to square faces in that chin and cheek are of nearly the same width. Facial length, however, is far greater than the width. Frames should cover as much of the center of the face as possible in order to minimize the length.

OVAL FACE

The oval face is considered to be the ideal shape because of its balanced proportions. To keep the oval's natural balance, look for eyeglass frames that are as wide as (or wider than) the broadest part of the face, or walnut-shaped frames that are not too deep or too narrow. More frames look good with this face shape than any other, as long as the size of the frames is in proportion to the face. When picking a frame for an oval shaped face, try to keep your proportions: go with the frame that is as wide or wider then your face. Shape-wise, pretty much anything will look great.

DIAMOND

Diamond-shaped faces are narrow at the eye line and jaw line, and cheekbones are often high and dramatic. This is the rarest face shape. To highlight the eyes and bring out the cheekbones, try frames that have detailing or distinctive brow lines, or try rimless frames or oval and cat-eye shapes.
