    Characteristics of Triangle Shaped Face

    Having a triangle face shape can often make you feel overlooked. This type of face shape can be split into two. Before explaining the difference between them, you can do your test at home to determine which category your face shape falls under. In order to do the test, you have to focus on four things:

    • Forehead
    • Cheekbones
    • Jawline
    • Face Length

    Measure these four components in centimetres or inches and write them down to determine which is the largest. By doing so you can find the perfect glasses for your face shape.

    As referenced before, there are different sides to the same coin. The first side, which is also called the triangle face shape, is very distinctive. It can often be referred to as the pear shape or the base-down triangle face shape. It is the exact opposite of the heart-shaped face. Also, it is described as bottom-heavy. If your face is long, your forehead is narrow, and your jaw is wide; you have a triangle face. Therefore, finding stylish sunglasses, for triangle face shape characteristics, will balance your facial features while making you chic. What a challenge!

    The second side, called the inverted triangle face shape or base-up triangle, is more common, feminine and similar to the heart-shaped face. A broad forehead and a pointed chin are signs of having an inverted triangle face and a widow's peak. According to a study done by Science Daily, face shapes can have hidden meanings.

    In other words, some personality traits are associated with your triangle face shape. People with an inverted triangle face are considered creative, artistic, fiery, and powerful. You are a person, by nature, who is driven, determined and destined for greatness!

    How To Choose Sunglasses For Your Triangle Face Shape

    As mentioned earlier, the one form of glasses frames you had your eye on may not be the right one. It's okay to be bummed out. Many different factors assist your eyewear shopping experience, such as skin tone, hairstyle, personal taste, etc. As stated by the Vision Council, three main points should be taken into thought when choosing any eyewear frame for your triangle face:

    • Eyewear should match your best feature.
    • The frame shape should contrast your face shape.
    • The frame size should be in proportion with your face size.
    • Firstly, if you own a base-down/pear shape/triangle-shaped face, you are advised to choose a heavy frame in colour and details on the top half. This adds width to your narrow forehead.

    Also, the number one rule to buying any cool sunglasses can be described in one word: balance. So, to balance a large jawline and chin, use spacious glasses frames at the top with a bold upper rim. It is more stylish to draw attention to the upper part of your face. Secondly, if you own a base-up/inverted triangle face shape, you should do the opposite. It would help if you didn't make your prescription eyeglasses noticeable. On the contrary, you can style your glasses frames by choosing lighter colours with rimless frames. As a result, your triangle face will appear long, and your broad forehead will be understated.

    Lastly, it would be best if you kept in mind that purchasing some new eyewear means you have to digest how to size your trendy sunglasses properly.
