    How to Determine your Face Shape

    To know about your face shape, let's start with getting all the right tools in front of you. You would need a builder's tape measure or a flexible tape measure to get more accurate calculations, and a notebook to note down the measurements.

    To know which face shape you have, you need first to tie back your hair and find out which parts of your face are long and which ones are wider or slimmer or are they all the same.

    • First, begin with your forehead, as this is the widest part. Measure the halfway between your hairline and your eyebrows.
    • Second, you need to measure your cheekbones, place tape across the pointiest part just below the corner of each eye, and note down your size.
    • Third, we move on to our jawline. Do you think you don't have a jawline? Of course, there's a jawline somewhere on both sides of your face.
    • Finally, take a tape, start measuring from the top of your chin to below your ear, upwards your jaw angles. Then multiply that size by two to get your jawline length. And the last thing you need to do is measure your face length.

    Do you know, what's the difference between a rectangle face and a square face? Well, they are two inches away! And no, that's not a joke. To find out face length, run the tape from the centre of your hairline to the tip of your chin. Now that you are done with your measurements. Compare your face size to the profile below and find out your face shape.

    • Square face shape- In square-shaped faces, all the measurements are relatively similar. The angle of the jaw is sharp rather than round.
    • Oval face shape- Face length is greater than the width of the cheekbone in the oval shape faces. The forehead is greater in size than the jawline, and the angle of the jaw is round. 
    • Rectangle face shape- Although in rectangle face, the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are similar in size, face length is greatest in measurement. 
    • Round face shape- The cheekbones and face length are the same size and larger than the forehead and jawline, which also have similar size; the jaw angle is less defined and softer.
    • Heart face shape- The measure of the forehead is greater than the cheekbones and jawline. The chin is pointed in heart-shaped faces.
    • Diamond face shape- The largest size is the face length, and then it goes in descending order, i.e., cheekbones, forehead, and the smallest size is jawline. The chin is pointed. 

    Are you tired of wearing glasses that don't quite fit your face or complement your features? Well, worry no more because today we're going to talk about how to pick out the perfect glasses for your face shape and take your style to new heights!

    Things To Consider When Buying Sunglasses

    -Question: What type of sunglasses is best?
    Answer: Sunglasses with 100% UV Protection lenses are the best choice. These types of sunglasses will offer the full protection you need from the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays!

    -Question: How can we tell our sunglasses are UV protected?
    Answer: We have to look for the label that says a hundred percent protection against both UVA and UVB. Sometimes it says hundred percent protection against UV400.

    -Question: Do darker sunglasses provide more UV protection?
    Answer: Darker sunglasses lenses decrease the amount of visible light passing. On the other hand, the lens with lighter tints does not provide more excellent protection from UV rays.

    -Question: How can we determine face shapes?
    Answer: Determine face shape, measure the width from ear to ear. Then both our forehead and jawline at a distance between the top of the forehead and our chin. We'll find out our shaped face from these proportions.

    -Question: How do we measure frames?
    Answer: Knowing the right measurement for our frames is essential to shopping online. Some numbers are inside of the temple arm, and they are our frame measurements. We can also try measuring by hand. We need to measure from the temple screw to the temple screw. For temple length, we need to measure from the temple screw to the temple tip.

    -Question: What are the available standard sizes and dimensions of the sunglasses?
    Answer: The sizes and dimensions of the sunglasses can vary from one to another style. We can find these specifications in the product description of engraved dimensions on the inside of the frame. All Kraywoods wooden sunglasses are categorized into three sizes for you to choose from: Small fit, Classic fit and Large fit.


    Now that you've learned about your face shape and which sunglasses are best for your square shape face; there are still a few things that you need to remember before you make your selection.

    As an accessory, eyewear is meant to balance and give variations to your facial features. hence it is best to avoid choosing sunglasses that are square or rectangle if you ask me why! It is because, when you add more angles to your proportional and strong face, your face might look more rigid and wide.

    Another tip is to opt for dark coloured frames as a light coloured round frame will not give much contrast to your facial lines that a darker colour would. If you follow these simple little tips while choosing your pair of sunglasses, you will already vibe your look with your perfect eyewear.
