When you’re in the market for a brand new pair of polarized sunglasses, picking the right pair can be a difficult choice when you’ve got an ocean of options, so we’re here to arm you with the knowledge you’ll need when reviewing the type of sunglasses styles available, both here at goodr and beyond! Consider this your ultimate cheat code:

SQUARE SUNGLASSES: A popular style among many for being universally flattering. These frames come in a wide range. Classic, oversized, slim, half-rim, and futuristic. These frames define your cheekbones and make your other facial features pop off. Need a visual reference? Here are a few of the many we offer:

• OG: Classic square.
• BFG: Oversized square.
• VRG: Futuristic one-lens frames.
• Flex G: Half-rim square frames.

CAT EYE SUNGLASSES: Get vintage charm with this style. This style features a dramatic, little upswept design at the edges, so you can give your peepers a fun, flirty look. These are available in various styles, colors, and designs for the fashion-forward individuals. Check these out:

• Glam G: Classic cat-eye.
• Pop G: Angular cat-eye.
• Moon G: Geometric cat-eye.

AVIATOR SUNGLASSES: Like the windows of a cockpit these frames feature wide, convex lenses slanted downwards for a wider fit. Modeled on pilot gear, and commonly including reflective, colored lenses and metallic wireframes, aviator sunglasses bring a serious edge to your fit. Don a fun costume modeled after your favorite flyer or sprinkle some vintage nods into your fashion with this style. Rock these aviators:

• Mach G: Classic teardrop frames.
• Retro G: Angular teardrop frames.

ROUND SUNGLASSES: If you lean toward alternative and trendy with some counterculture flair, then round frames may be more your speed. As the name suggests, these round sunglasses don’t feature many sharp angles, if any at all, and can be gently rounded at the bottom or more circular in style. Great for those who lean on the medium to smaller-sized head. If you want to twin with the scholars found in the classics, pop on these sunnies, and you’ll fit right in. No need to comb through the stacks to find these:

• Circle G: Classic circle frames.
• PHG: Double-bridge circular frames.
• Bug G: Wraparound circle frames

SHIELD SUNGLASSES: Need to grab a pair of wraparound sunglasses that offer eye protection against harmful UV rays and won’t fall off your face while you’re playing a deadlocked pickup game? Designed to be worn while in action, these frames have polarized lenses that wrap around, covering your peripherals, and have a no-slip feature that keeps your glasses firmly on you while you're in the midst of a game or other physical activity. Whether you're going on a free climbing expedition or are hitting the slopes, consider these durable sport sunglasses if you’ve got a medium to average-sized noggin:

• Bolt G: Half-rim frames with a ventilated wrap lens.
• Astro G: Modern shield wraparound.
• Snow G: Adjustable wraparound snow goggles.

Now that you’ve got the eye for all sunglasses styles available at the tip of your fingertips, it’s your time to filter through your own criteria. Consider factors like size, your favorite trends, and how your personal style shines through. And if you're someone who loves to experiment, feel free to flirt with any style that catches your eye!

It fits most faces well and is a classic style that lots of sunglass aficionados find to be reliable. If you decide to stick with this style to start off your sunglasses journey, you can still experiment with plenty of variations–different lens and frame colors, sizes, and unique designs. From smaller, browline sunglasses to bolder, oversized sunglasses, we've got frames for everyone. If you want to check out these square sunglasses, we have you covered. Find them under the OG, LFG, BFG, VRG, Flex G, or Fly G on our website.

In our totally unbiased opinion, you’d look great in any sunglasses style!!! But we get it, there are SO many kinds of sunglasses, and finding a pair that you find flattering on yourself is important! So here’s a quick and dirty guide all about face shapes (but they are by no means rules):

Round face shape: If you’ve got a rounded chin, and the width and height of your face are about equal–congrats, you’ve got the perfect canvas for some angles, so think square or shield frames.

Square face shape: If you’ve got a broad forehead and more of a square jawline than a round one, you are most likely in possession of a lovely square face shape. To add a bit of softness to your visage, try a pair of cat-eyes, round, or aviator sunglasses.

Oval face shape: When your face is longer than it is wide and your forehead has a shorter width than your cheekbones, you have an oval face. Lucky you, the sunglasses gods have bequeathed you the power to pull off any look from square to shield to circular!

Heart face shape: If you have a wide forehead and a jawline that draws in narrower, you've got a heart face shape. Flattering sunglasses should lengthen the look of your face, and get frames that follow the line of your cheeks. Your ideal fit would be the aviator, round, and cat-eye!

Types of sunglasses cyclically fade in and out of style like the seasons, so having a set of go-to frames you like for any season and occasion is important! Sure, you can continue to keep up with the latest trends and swap out your sunnies as you see fit, but having a trusted pair or two can help alleviate some of the pressure. So, we recommend timeless polarized sunglasses like a classic square frame or an aviator frame. You can dress them up and down, and that flexibility allows them to be a mainstay in your wardrobe. A classic is a classic for a reason, regardless of any seasonal sunglasses trend.
